1. African Hospital Libraries: How Shane Godbolt inspired and shaped a
seedling.
Blacklock C
The co-founderof African Hospital Libraries (AHL) chronicles how this
charity grew from a tiny pop-up library set up by two VSO volunteers and the
hospital management team, to establishing health care library services in
three provincial government referral hospitals (Makeni, Bo, Kenema) in
Sierra Leone, and supporting link-ups with a shared maternity and paediatric
hospital library service in Freetown and two libraries in healthcare
training institutions. She reflects on the impact that Shane Godbolt had and
continues to have on the work and growth of the organisation.

4. Qualitative Study of Health Information -Seeking Barriers among
Mastectomy Patients.
Latifi M, Sedaghat M, Barahmand N, Fahimnia F, Allahbakhshian Farsani L
BACKGROUND: Health information-seeking behavior (HISB) plays a key role in
self-care management, promoting quality of life and improving health.
However, some individual and contextual barriers hinder women undergoing
mastectomy access to needed information. Identifying and removing health
information-seeking barriers for these women undergoing mastectomy can lead
to improving their health outcomes. Therefore, the aim of this study was to
identify the health information-seeking barriers for women with breast
cancer after mastectomy.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: This was a conventional qualitative content analysis
in which the participants were selected through purposive sampling based on
the study inclusion criteria from two hospitals of Shahid Mohammadi and
Persian Gulf and Chemotherapy Center of Omid in Bandar Abbas. The study
population consisted of 17 women with breast cancer after mastectomy. Data
were collected through semi-structured face-to-face interviews.
RESULTS: Seven main themes were introduced as three individual barriers,
including fear, shame and embarrassment and inadequate health literacy and
four contextual barriers of economic status, physicians and medical staff,
lack of accessibility of information sources and the behavior of those
around them that were the underlying factors to explain the barriers of
health information seeking in mastectomized women.
CONCLUSION: The results of this study emphasize the need for further
attention from Iranian authorities to health care, especially women' health
care institutions, to reform the health system and remove their health
information -seeking barriers.<br />.

5. How individuals with spinal cord injury in the United States access
and assess information about experimental therapies and clinical trials:
results of a clinical survey.
Farrehi C, Pazzi C, Capron M, Anderson K, Richardson B, Stillman M
STUDY DESIGN: An internet-based survey.
OBJECTIVES: To determine how individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI)
access information about experimental therapies and clinical trials. To
understand which factors influence receipt of and perceived trustworthiness
of that information.
SETTING: Two academic medical centers and an SCI organization.
METHODS: Demographic information frequencies and percentages were calculated
then analyzed using chi-square tests for independence. Fisher's exact test
of independence was used to assess significance for contingency tables with
categories containing expected counts below five.
RESULTS: Three hundred sixty four persons with SCI participated in the
survey. Most felt confident in their ability to evaluate SCI-specific
information from a variety of sources, though SCI organizations and the
medical literature were deemed the most reliable. Information from SCI
specialists was deemed more credible than that from non-SCI specialists, but
only 53.6% of participants had access to them. Nearly all (89.0%)
respondents who had sought information about experimental therapies had
found it online, while 51.4% of those who had participated in a clinical
trial had been contacted by a research team. Only 8.4% of participants felt
their medical teams offered them sufficient information about experimental
therapies and clinical trials. Wealthier and more educated respondents were
more knowledgeable about health-related resources on the internet. Nearly
all participants (96.9%) expressed interest in learning more about trials
related to SCI.
CONCLUSIONS: There is an information deficit among people with SCI
pertaining to experimental therapies and clinical trials. It is exacerbated
by lack of income, education, and access to SCI specialists.

6. Google Trends application for the study of information search
behaviour on oropharyngeal cancer in Spain.
Mayo-Yáñez M, Calvo-Henríquez C, Chiesa-Estomba C, Lechien JR,
González-Torres L
PURPOSE: Oropharyngeal cancer is estimated to continue to increase in the
next decades. Prevention strategies and knowing the current situation of
knowledge and concern of the population about this disease is necessary.
Infodemiology is valuable to monitor health information-seeking behaviour
trends and epidemiology. The objective of this study is to analyze the use
and evolution, through Google trends as a source of information, of
internet-based information-seeking behaviour related to the oropharyngeal
cancer in Spain and related to mass media stories.
METHODS: Using Google Trends, the terms "throat cancer', "HPV", "laryngeal
cancer", "tonsil cancer" and "oral cancer". The searches volume and trend
were analyzed using a Jointpoint regression method from January 2009 to July
2019.
RESULTS: The most searched term was "HPV", with a search volume index of 61,
followed by "throat cancer" (SVI = 25). The trend of the term "HPV"
increased 6.1% annually (p < 0.000), with a linear correlation of both terms
of 0.52 (p < 0.000). The greatest number of searches was carried out in the
north of Spain, the most repeated query being "oral sex AND cancer". A
correlation between the news in the media and the increase in the volume of
searches for the terms was found.
CONCLUSION: Any news stories, new interventions or aetiology related to
oropharyngeal cancer can manifest as an increase in information-seeking
behaviours for "throat cancer" on Google. Understanding healthcare
information-seeking behaviour is essential in order to control and plan the
quality of knowledge provided by health organisations, advocacy groups and
health professionals regarding head and neck cancers.

7. Countering fake news in the COVID-19 era: The public's opinion on the
role of an honest and reliable website.
Scerri M, Grech V
A website and a Facebook page were launched in Malta in March 2020 to
disseminate accurate and up-to-date general information and the latest
scientific developments vis-à-vis the COVID-19 pandemic. The website
provides brief, accurate and pertinent information on COVID-19 and serves to
dispel misconceptions. The aim of this small research was to obtain feedback
from website users on the presentation and layout of the website, to
ascertain the level of awareness of the website and to obtain information on
improvement for future use. An anonymous survey was created using Google
forms. The survey asked questions about design, presentation, information
presented and suggestions for improvement and was open between 22nd May and
31st May. It was shared online through the Facebook page COVID-19: As it
happens. There were 51 responses to the questionnaire. The results
established the importance of a clean and simple design and presentation.
They also outlined the importance of social media in delivering the desired
message and confirm that the website is a trusted and reliable source of
information. On a local level, COVID-19: As it happens website disseminates
trustworthy information both on a local and international level. The major
challenge to the scientific and medical communities in the new COVID-19
reality is that so many people have more access and opportunity to create
content, including material that is misleading or false. In this context,
COVID-19: As it happens has been created to provide accessible
evidence-based research for the lay public.

8. Improving biomedical named entity recognition with syntactic
information.
Tian Y, Shen W, Song Y, Xia F, He M, Li K
BACKGROUND: Biomedical named entity recognition (BioNER) is an important
task for understanding biomedical texts, which can be challenging due to the
lack of large-scale labeled training data and domain knowledge. To address
the challenge, in addition to using powerful encoders (e.g., biLSTM and
BioBERT), one possible method is to leverage extra knowledge that is easy to
obtain. Previous studies have shown that auto-processed syntactic
information can be a useful resource to improve model performance, but their
approaches are limited to directly concatenating the embeddings of syntactic
information to the input word embeddings. Therefore, such syntactic
information is leveraged in an inflexible way, where inaccurate one may hurt
model performance.
RESULTS: In this paper, we propose BIOKMNER, a BioNER model for biomedical
texts with key-value memory networks (KVMN) to incorporate auto-processed
syntactic information. We evaluate BIOKMNER on six English biomedical
datasets, where our method with KVMN outperforms the strong baseline method,
namely, BioBERT, from the previous study on all datasets. Specifically, the
F1 scores of our best performing model are 85.29% on BC2GM, 77.83% on
JNLPBA, 94.22% on BC5CDR-chemical, 90.08% on NCBI-disease, 89.24% on
LINNAEUS, and 76.33% on Species-800, where state-of-the-art performance is
obtained on four of them (i.e., BC2GM, BC5CDR-chemical, NCBI-disease, and
Species-800).
CONCLUSION: The experimental results on six English benchmark datasets
demonstrate that auto-processed syntactic information can be a useful
resource for BioNER and our method with KVMN can appropriately leverage such
information to improve model performance.

9. An event based topic learning pipeline for neuroimaging literature
mining.
Chen L, Yan J, Chen J, Sheng Y, Xu Z, Mahmud M
Neuroimaging text mining extracts knowledge from neuroimaging texts and has
received widespread attention. Topic learning is an important research focus
of neuroimaging text mining. However, current neuroimaging topic learning
researches mainly used traditional probability topic models to extract
topics from literature and cannot obtain high-quality neuroimaging topics.
The existing topic learning methods also cannot meet the requirements of
topic learning oriented to full-text neuroimaging literature. In this paper,
three types of neuroimaging research topic events are defined to describe
the process and result of neuroimaging researches. An event based topic
learning pipeline, called neuroimaging Event-BTM, is proposed to realize
topic learning from full-text neuroimaging literature. The experimental
results on the PLoS One data set show that the accuracy and completeness of
the proposed method are significantly better than the existing main topic
learning methods.

10. Reliable or not? An automated classification of webpages about early
childhood vaccination using supervised machine learning.
Meppelink CS, Hendriks H, Trilling D, van Weert JCM, Shao A, Smit ES
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the applicability of supervised machine learning
(SML) to classify health-related webpages as 'reliable' or 'unreliable' in
an automated way.
METHODS: We collected the textual content of 468 different Dutch webpages
about early childhood vaccination. Webpages were manually coded as
'reliable' or 'unreliable' based on their alignment with evidence-based
vaccination guidelines. Four SML models were trained on part of the data,
whereas the remaining data was used for model testing.
RESULTS: All models appeared to be successful in the automated
identification of unreliable (F1 scores: 0.54-0.86) and reliable information
(F1 scores: 0.82-0.91). Typical words for unreliable information are 'dr',
'immune system', and 'vaccine damage', whereas 'measles', 'child', and
'immunization rate', were frequent in reliable information. Our best
performing model was also successful in terms of out-of-sample prediction,
tested on a dataset about HPV vaccination.
CONCLUSION: Automated classification of online content in terms of
reliability, using basic classifiers, performs well and is particularly
useful to identify reliable information.
PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: The classifiers can be used as a starting point to
develop more complex classifiers, but also warning tools which can help
people evaluate the content they encounter online.

11. Assessment of the Readability of Online Patient Education Material
from Major Geriatric Associations.
van Ballegooie C, Hoang P
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: An increasing number of patients are using the
internet to supplement information provided by medical professionals. Online
geriatric patient education materials (PEMs) should be written at or below a
6th grade reading level (GRL) that takes into account barriers unique to the
geriatric population. The objectives of the study are to assess PEMs of
geriatric associations' websites and determine whether they are above the
GRL recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and National Institutes
of Health.
DESIGN: Descriptive and correlational methodology. PEMs from 10 major
geriatric associations were assessed for their GRL using 10 scales. Eight of
the scales provide a numerical GRL while two of the scales provide a visual
representation of the GRLs. Analysis was conducted using Readability Studio
2019.3.
SETTING: Analysis was conducted February 2020.
PARTICIPANTS: Identified 10 geriatric associations and 884 PEMs.
MEASUREMENTS: GRLs were measured by 10 validated readability indices: the
Degrees of Reading Power and Grade Equivalent test, Flesch-Kincaid grade
level, Simple Measure of Gobbledygook test, Coleman-Liau Index, Gunning Fog
Index, New Fog Count, New Dale-Chall readability formula, Ford, Caylor,
Sticht scale, Raygor readability estimate graph, and Fry readability graph.
RESULTS: The mean of all PEMs using the numerical scales was 11.1 ± 2.4.
Ninety-nine percent of PEMs are above the 6th GRL. PEMs ranged from a grade
3.0 to 19.0 reading level. Analysis of variance demonstrated a significant
difference between associations (P < .0001), and multiple comparison
analysis identified the National Institute on Aging as the content easiest
to read (9.5 ± 1.6).
CONCLUSION: PEMs from geriatric association websites are written above the
recommended 6th GRL. As patients increasingly look toward online
supplementary health information during COVID-19, there is an opportunity
for improving PEMs to enable greater comprehension by the target population.

12. A Content Analysis of YouTube Videos Related to Hearing Aids.
Manchaiah V, Bellon-Harn ML, Michaels M, Swarnalatha Nagaraj V, Beukes EW
BACKGROUND: Increasingly, people access Internet-based health information
about various chronic conditions including hearing loss and hearing aids.
YouTube is one media source that has gained much popularity in recent years.
PURPOSE: The current study examines the source, content, understandability,
and actionability of YouTube videos related to hearing aids.
RESEARCH DESIGN: Cross-sectional design by analyzing the videos at single
point in time.
STUDY SAMPLE: One hundred most frequently viewed videos in YouTube.
INTERVENTION: Not applicable.
DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS: The 100 most-viewed English language videos
targeting individuals seeking information regarding hearing aids were
identified and manually coded. Data collection included general information
about the video (e.g., source, title, authorship, date of upload, duration
of video), popularity-driven measures (e.g., number of views, likes,
dislikes), and the video source (consumer, professional, or media). The
video content was analyzed to examine what pertinent information they
contained in relation to a predetermined fact sheet. Understandability and
actionability of the videos were examined using the Patient Education
Material Assessment Tool for Audiovisual Materials.
RESULTS: Of the 100 most-viewed videos, 11 were consumer-based, 80 were
created by professionals, and the remaining 9 were media-based. General
information about hearing aids, hearing aid types, and handling and
maintenance of hearing aids were the most frequently discussed content
categories with over 50% of all videos commenting on these areas.
Differences were noted between source types in several content categories.
The overall understandability scores for videos from all sources were 74%,
which was considered adequate; however, the actionability scores for all the
videos were 68%, which is considered inadequate.
CONCLUSION: YouTube videos about hearing aids focused on a range of issues
and some differences were found between source types. The poor actionability
of these videos may result in incongruous consumer actions. Content and
quality of the information in hearing aid YouTube videos needs to be
improved with input from professionals.

13. Readability and content of online pet obesity information.
Chen TT, Khosa DK, McEwen SA, Abood SK, McWhirter JE
OBJECTIVE: To assess the readability of pet obesity information, document
the presence and absence of types of pet obesity information, and perform
comparisons between dog and cat obesity information content on websites.
SAMPLE: 68 websites containing pet obesity content.
PROCEDURES: Websites were systematically retrieved with a search engine and
predefined search terms and phrases. For each website, pet obesity
information was scored by use of 2 established readability tools: the simple
measure of gobbledygook (SMOG) index and Flesch-Kincaid (FK) readability
test. A directed content analysis was conducted with a codebook that
assessed the presence or absence of 103 variables across 5 main topics
related to pet obesity on each website.
RESULTS: The mean reading grade levels determined with the SMOG index and FK
readability test were 16.61 and 9.07, respectively. Instructions for weight
measurement and body condition scoring were found infrequently, as were
nonmodifiable risk factors. There was a greater focus on addressing obesity
through dietary changes than through increasing physical activity. Few
websites recommended regular follow-up appointments with veterinarians.
Weight management information and the emphasis on owners' commitment to
achieve their pet's weight loss targets differed among dog- and cat-focused
websites.
CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Results indicated that pet obesity
information on the studied websites was largely inaccessible to pet owners
owing to the associated high reading grade levels. Readers of that
information would benefit from clarification of information gaps along with
provision of guidance regarding navigating online information and counseling
on the importance of nutritional and dietary reassessments for individual
pets performed by veterinarians.
