To investigate the content, quality and popularity of information about type 2 diabetes available on YouTube.
We searched YouTube with the terms Diabetes, Diabetes type 2, Diabetes South Asians, Diabetes Punjabi and Diabetes Hindi to identify videos concerning type 2 diabetes. A team of health-care providers independently classified the first 20 videos from each search as useful, misleading, or personal experience, rated them on a 5-point global quality scale (GQS) and categorized their content on a 26-point scale in duplicate. Useful videos were rated for reliability by using a 5-point modified DISCERN scale. Higher scores represent better quality, reliability and comprehensiveness.
Of 100 videos, 71 met the inclusion criteria; 45 (63.4%) were rated as useful (median GQS, 3; interquartile range [IQR], 2 to 4); and 23 (32.4%) were deemed misleading (median GQS, 1; IQR, 1 to 2). Median reliability and content scores for useful videos were 3 (IQR, 2 to 3) and 5 (IQR, 3 to 10), respectively, and 6 videos met ≥ 4 of 5 reliability criteria. Overall, misleading videos were more popular than useful videos (median, 233 views/day; IQR, 26 to 523; vs. 8.3 views/day; IQR, 0.4 to 134.6; p<0.01). Culturally tailored videos were just as likely to be misleading and had similar GQS scores in comparison to nonculturally tailored videos (32.1% vs. 32.6% and 3 vs. 3, respectively).
The quality of identified videos concerning type 2 diabetes was variable, and misleading videos were popular. Further creation and curation of high-quality video resources is required.
调查 YouTube 上关于 2 型糖尿病的信息的内容、质量和普及程度。
我们使用术语“Diabetes”“Diabetes type 2”“Diabetes South Asians”“Diabetes Punjabi”和“Diabetes Hindi”在 YouTube 上进行搜索，以识别与 2 型糖尿病相关的视频。一组医疗保健提供者独立地将每个搜索的前 20 个视频分为有用、误导或个人经验，并对其进行 5 分制的全球质量量表 (GQS) 评分，并在重复的 26 分制上对其内容进行分类。有用的视频通过使用 5 分制修改后的 DISCERN 量表进行可靠性评估。分数越高表示质量、可靠性和全面性越好。
在 100 个视频中，有 71 个符合纳入标准；45 个（63.4%）被评为有用（中位数 GQS 为 3；四分位距 [IQR]，2 至 4）；23 个（32.4%）被认为是误导性的（中位数 GQS 为 1；IQR，1 至 2）。有用视频的可靠性和内容评分中位数分别为 3（IQR，2 至 3）和 5（IQR，3 至 10），其中 6 个视频符合≥4/5 的可靠性标准。总体而言，误导性视频比有用视频更受欢迎（中位数，233 次/天；IQR，26 至 523；相比之下，8.3 次/天；IQR，0.4 至 134.6；p<0.01）。与非文化定制视频相比，文化定制视频同样可能具有误导性，且 GQS 评分相似（分别为 32.1%和 32.6%，3 分和 3 分）。
所确定的有关 2 型糖尿病的视频的质量参差不齐，误导性视频很受欢迎。需要进一步创建和管理高质量的视频资源。
