Many people take prescription medications and need information about the risks and benefits associated with taking them. Citizens are increasingly turning to the internet for health information and medication information is no exception. There are a variety of websites that offer Online Medication Information for Citizens (OMIC). This study compared six such websites using the Health Literacy Online (HLO) Checklist as a framework. Additionally, we conducted a detailed analysis of the individual content in each OMIC for three different medications. We identified several strengths and weaknesses of the different websites in terms of how they were designed and written and their appropriateness for users with limited eHealth literacy.
许多人服用处方药,需要了解与之相关的风险和益处。市民越来越多地转向互联网获取健康信息,药物信息也不例外。有各种各样的网站提供面向市民的在线药物信息(OMIC)。本研究以在线健康素养(HLO)清单为框架,对六个此类网站进行了比较。此外,我们还针对三种不同药物,对每个OMIC中的具体内容进行了详细分析。我们从不同网站的设计、编写方式以及对电子健康素养有限的用户的适用性方面,确定了它们的若干优点和不足。
