A useful way to prepare the public for disasters is to teach them where to get information. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the readability and appropriateness of the content of websites prepared for the public on disaster preparedness.
In September-October 2022, we evaluated 95 disaster preparedness websites (intended for the public) using the Ateşman Readability Index, JAMA criteria, DISCERN, and a new researcher-created content comparison form. Evaluation scores were compared according to information sources.
Of the websites included in the research, 45.2% represented government institutions (GIG), 38.0% non-profit organizations (NPOG), 8.4% municipal organizations (MOG), and 8.4% other organizations (OG). Those which scored above average on the websites were 36.8% on the content evaluation, 51.6% on the DISCERN scale, 53.7% on the Ateşman Readability Index, and 55.8% on the JAMA criteria. The content evaluation form showed that the scores of the websites belonging to the MOG were higher than the scores of the other websites. Others group websites also scored higher than altered websites on the JAMA criteria.
The study revealed that websites created to increase public knowledge on disaster preparedness are not good enough in terms of readability, quality, and content.
让公众为灾难做好准备的一个有效方法是教会他们从何处获取信息。本研究的目的是评估为公众准备的灾难防范网站内容的可读性和适宜性。
在2022年9月至10月期间，我们使用阿泰斯曼可读性指数、《美国医学会杂志》标准、DISCERN以及研究人员新创建的内容比较表，对95个（面向公众的）灾难防范网站进行了评估。根据信息来源对评估分数进行了比较。
纳入研究的网站中，45.2%代表政府机构（GIG），38.0%代表非营利组织（NPOG），8.4%代表市政组织（MOG），8.4%代表其他组织（OG）。在网站上得分高于平均水平的分别是：内容评估方面为36.8%，DISCERN量表方面为51.6%，阿泰斯曼可读性指数方面为53.7%，《美国医学会杂志》标准方面为55.8%。内容评估表显示，属于市政组织的网站得分高于其他网站。在《美国医学会杂志》标准方面，其他组织组的网站得分也高于其他网站。
该研究表明，为增加公众灾难防范知识而创建的网站在可读性、质量和内容方面不够理想。
