Assessing the quality of acne and rosacea treatment information on YouTube

Dear Editor, Patients often seek health information online. However, there is still no review system to determine the quality of medical information provided on popular platforms such as YouTube. To nondermatologists, the clinical presentation and therapies of acne and rosacea may seem similar, but they primarily affect two different age demographics. We sought to determine if this difference in target population was reflected in the sources and quality of information provided between rosacea and acne treatments. We used the DISCERN questionnaire to determine the quality of information on treatment choices. DISCERN is a validated instrument used in previous studies, and consists of 16 questions on a scale assessing reliability, quality of information (on treatment choices) and overall quality.
