This study investigated videos about Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) on YouTube in terms of issues, sources, and episodic-thematic aspects. A total of 685 videos uploaded onto YouTube between 2006 and 2014 were content analyzed. Results demonstrated that the top three key issues about ADHD were symptom, child, and treatment. Doctor, patient, and supporter were the three most interviewed sources. Videos from the public sector including the government, company representative, and public organizations were relatively rare compared to other sources suggesting the potential for a greater role for the government and public sector contributions to YouTube to provide credible information relevant to public awareness, campaigns, and policy announcements. Meanwhile, many personal videos in the episodic frame advocated social solutions. This result implies that YouTube videos about health information from the private sectors have the potential to affect change at the social level.
本研究从问题、来源以及情节-主题方面对YouTube上有关注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）的视频进行了调查。对2006年至2014年间上传到YouTube上的685个视频进行了内容分析。结果表明，关于ADHD的三大关键问题是症状、儿童和治疗。医生、患者和支持者是被采访最多的三类来源。与其他来源相比，来自公共部门（包括政府、公司代表和公共组织）的视频相对较少，这表明政府和公共部门在YouTube上提供与公众意识、宣传活动及政策公告相关的可靠信息方面有更大发挥作用的潜力。同时，许多情节框架中的个人视频倡导社会解决方案。这一结果意味着，来自私营部门的YouTube健康信息视频有可能在社会层面带来改变。
