1. "The library is so much more than books": considerations for the
design and implementation of teen digital mental health services in
public libraries.

Background: Adolescence is a vulnerable developmental period, characterized
by high rates of mental health concerns, yet few adolescents receive
treatment. Public libraries support adolescents by providing them with
access to teen programming, technological resources, and have recently been
providing mental health services. Digital mental health (DMH) services may
help libraries provide scalable mental health solutions for their adolescent
patrons and could be well positioned to address the mental health needs of
historically underrepresented racial and ethnic (HURE) adolescents; however,
little research has been conducted on the compatibility of DMH services with
adolescent patron mental health needs or resource needs of library workers
supporting them.
Methods: The research team formed a partnership with a public library, which
serves a large HURE adolescent population. We conducted needs assessment and
implementation readiness interviews with 17 library workers, including
leadership, librarians, and workers with specialized areas of practice.
Interview questions focused on library infrastructure, as well as library
needs and preferences around the design and implementation of DMH services
for adolescents. We used the Consolidated Framework for Implementation
Research as guiding implementation determinant framework to code and analyze
the interview transcripts.
Results: Our findings revealed library workers play an important role in
guiding patrons to desired resources and share a goal of implementing
adolescent DMH resources into the library and elevating marginalized
adolescents' voices. Existing library resources, such as the library's role
as a safe space for adolescents in the community, close relationships with
external and community organizations, and availability of no-cost
technological resources, could help facilitate the implementation of DMH
services. Barriers related to community buy-in, mental health stigma, and
library worker confidence in supporting adolescent mental health could
affect service implementation.
Conclusions: Our findings suggest public libraries are highly promising
settings to deploy DMH services for adolescents. We identified important
determinants that may impact the implementation of DMH services in public
library settings. Special considerations are needed to design services to
meet the mental health needs of HURE adolescent populations and those
adolescents' most experiencing health inequities.

2. Scaffolded, embedded required: information literacy education in
undergraduate health sciences.
Denise A Smith, Stephanie Sanger
Background: The Health Sciences Library and Bachelor of Health Sciences
(BHSc) program at McMaster University worked together to build a multi-year
information literacy (IL) curriculum embedded within the program under a
suite of courses called Praxis Pathways.
Description: Praxis Pathways consists of four Threads. Thread 4: information
literacy is the focus of this case report. The authors will describe the
multi-year embedded IL curriculum, which is scaffolded to build both IL
skills, such as database searching, and introduce students to key conceptual
conversations in IL, production, and dissemination.
Outcomes: BHSc program graduates in 2023 will be the first to have completed
all four years of the Praxis Pathways courses, including the IL program
developed and delivered by the library. The authors will describe how the
impact of the program will be evaluated qualitatively and quantitatively
going forward.
Conclusion: Embedded librarianship for multi-year, scaffolded IL education
in undergraduate programs continues to be a rarity, despite acknowledgement
that one-shot instruction has several limitations. The authors present this
case report to share how they embedded a for-credit IL curriculum in an
undergraduate program that looks beyond the one-shot, skill-based tutorial
and focuses on developing adaptive, information literate lifelong learners.

3. Technological trends in Swedish medical libraries.
Malin Ekstrand, Love Strandberg
Medical libraries in Sweden are digitised to a large extent, technically
advanced and developing rapidly. This paper investigates technological
trends among Swedish medical libraries in the near and distant future and
their application within different areas of library activities. The authors
also present a roadmap to increase technological developments within medical
libraries in Sweden. Current technological trends include digital
collaboration tools, mobile technologies and visualisation. Artificial
intelligence, big data and smart technologies are upcoming trends.
Technologies are applied within all areas of library activities, but
preconditions for academic and hospital libraries differ. To remain a
relevant provider of information services, libraries must be able to
monitor, test and adopt new technologies.

5. How Well Do Artificial Intelligence Chatbots Respond to the Top Search
Queries About Urological Malignancies?
David Musheyev, Alexander Pan, Stacy Loeb, Abdo E Kabarriti
Artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots are becoming a popular source of
information but there are limited data on the quality of information on
urological malignancies that they provide. Our objective was to characterize
the quality of information and detect misinformation about prostate,
bladder, kidney, and testicular cancers from four AI chatbots: ChatGPT,
Perplexity, Chat Sonic, and Microsoft Bing AI. We used the top five search
queries related to prostate, bladder, kidney, and testicular cancers
according to Google Trends from January 2021 to January 2023 and input them
into the AI chatbots. Responses were evaluated for quality,
understandability, actionability, misinformation, and readability using
published instruments. AI chatbot responses had moderate to high information
quality (median DISCERN score 4 out of 5, range 2-5) and lacked
misinformation. Understandability was moderate (median Patient Education
Material Assessment Tool for Printable Materials [PEMAT-P] understandability
66.7%, range 44.4-90.9%) and actionability was moderate to poor (median
PEMAT-P actionability 40%, range 0-40%The responses were written at a fairly
difficult reading level. AI chatbots produce information that is generally
accurate and of moderate to high quality in response to the top urological
malignancy-related search queries, but the responses lack clear, actionable
instructions and exceed the reading level recommended for consumer health
information. PATIENT SUMMARY: Artificial intelligence chatbots produce
information that is generally accurate and of moderately high quality in
response to popular Google searches about urological cancers. However, their
responses are fairly difficult to read, are moderately hard to understand,
and lack clear instructions for users to act on.

6. Knowing What We Don't Know: A Survey of School Nurse Information Needs.
Annie Nicky Nickum, Rosie Hanneke, Robin Shannon
Providing complex care for students requires an informed school nurse
workforce. However, school nurses, many of whom work independently, may not
know where to find necessary information. This study seeks to understand the
information needs of school nurses by conducting a needs assessment survey
within the state of Illinois. A survey was disseminated through three
statewide professional listservs to determine the types of care-related
questions school nurses ask as part of their regular duties and which
resources they use to answer those questions. School nurses' information
needs vary widely, and they rely on numerous sources to answer clinical
questions. They are responsible for the well-being of hundreds to thousands
of children. While they are comfortable searching for information, they are
motivated to further develop research skills.

7. Exploring the potential of ChatGPT as a supplementary tool for
providing orthopaedic information.
Janina Kaarre, Robert Feldt, Laura E Keeling, Sahil Dadoo, Bálint Zsidai,
Jonathan D Hughes, Kristian Samuelsson, Volker Musahl
PURPOSE: To investigate the potential use of large language models (LLMs) in
orthopaedics by presenting queries pertinent to anterior cruciate ligament
(ACL) surgery to generative pre-trained transformer (ChatGPT, specifically
using its GPT-4 model of March 14th 2023). Additionally, this study aimed to
evaluate the depth of the LLM's knowledge and investigate its adaptability
to different user groups. It was hypothesized that the ChatGPT would be able
to adapt to different target groups due to its strong language understanding
and processing capabilities.
METHODS: ChatGPT was presented with 20 questions and response was requested
for two distinct target audiences: patients and non-orthopaedic medical
doctors. Two board-certified orthopaedic sports medicine surgeons and two
expert orthopaedic sports medicine surgeons independently evaluated the
responses generated by ChatGPT. Mean correctness, completeness, and
adaptability to the target audiences (patients and non-orthopaedic medical
doctors) were determined. A three-point response scale facilitated nuanced
assessment.
RESULTS: ChatGPT exhibited fair accuracy, with average correctness scores of
1.69 and 1.66 (on a scale from 0, incorrect, 1, partially correct, to 2,
correct) for patients and medical doctors, respectively. Three of the 20
questions (15.0%) were deemed incorrect by any of the four orthopaedic
sports medicine surgeon assessors. Moreover, overall completeness was
calculated to be 1.51 and 1.64 for patients and medical doctors,
respectively, while overall adaptiveness was determined to be 1.75 and 1.73
for patients and doctors, respectively.
CONCLUSION: Overall, ChatGPT was successful in generating correct responses
in approximately 65% of the cases related to ACL surgery. The findings of
this study imply that LLMs offer potential as a supplementary tool for
acquiring orthopaedic knowledge. However, although ChatGPT can provide
guidance and effectively adapt to diverse target audiences, it cannot
supplant the expertise of orthopaedic sports medicine surgeons in diagnostic
and treatment planning endeavours due to its limited understanding of
orthopaedic domains and its potential for erroneous responses.

S Klifto
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to analyse the quality and
readability of information regarding shoulder stabilisation surgery
available using an online AI software (ChatGPT), using standardised scoring
systems, as well as to report on the given answers by the AI.
METHODS: An open AI model (ChatGPT) was used to answer 23 commonly asked
questions from patients on shoulder stabilization surgery. These answers
were evaluated for medical accuracy, quality and readability using The JAMA
Benchmark criteria, DISCERN score, Flesch-Kincaid Reading Ease Score (FRES)
& Grade Level (FKGL).
RESULTS: The JAMA Benchmark criteria score was 0, which is the lowest score
indicating no reliable resources cited. The DISCERN score was 60, which is
considered a good score. The areas that open AI model did not achieve full
marks were also related to the lack of available source material used to
compile the answers, and finally some shortcomings with information not
fully supported by the literature. The FRES was 26.2, and the FKGL was
considered to be that of a college graduate.
CONCLUSION: There was generally high quality in the answers given on
questions relating to shoulder stabilization surgery, but there was a high
reading level required to comprehend the information presented. However, but
it is unclear where the answers came from with no source material cited.
Although, it is important to note that the ChatGPT software repeatedly
reference the need to discuss these questions with an orthopaedic surgeon
and the importance of shared discussion making, as well as compliance with
surgeon treatment recommendations.

12. Quality of Japanese Online Information on Causes of Neck Pain: A
Biopsychosocial Analysis.
Yu Kondo, Rumi Ota, Hisaki Fujita, Takahiro Miki, Yuta Watanabe, Tsuneo
Takebayashi
Background While a considerable amount of information on neck pain is
available online, the quality and comprehensiveness of this information can
vary greatly. Particularly, the representation of the biopsychosocial model
- which recognizes neck pain as an interplay of biological, psychological,
and social factors - in online information remains unclear. Given the
prevalence and accessibility of online health information, it is important
to understand its quality and how it may shape individuals' understanding
and management of neck pain. Therefore, the objective of this study was to
analyze the quality of online Japanese information on the causes of neck
pain from a biopsychosocial perspective. Methodology A descriptive
cross-sectional study was conducted. The search term "neck pain" was
utilized on Google's search engine in June 2023, and the websites from the
first two pages of the search results were included in the study. Ten
advertisement websites were excluded, resulting in 19 websites being
analyzed. Each website was evaluated based on the presence of the
Health-on-the-Net (HON) code. Biomedical and psychosocial factors present in
each website were identified using the biopsychosocial analysis tool.
Websites were then categorized as biomedical, limited biopsychosocial, or
biopsychosocial based on the number of psychosocial factors they mentioned.
Results Among the 19 evaluated websites, only one possessed the HON
certification, indicating a potential lack of credibility for the remaining
sites. Of these websites, a large majority (63.2%) were classified as
biomedical, while the remaining (36.8%) were classified as limited
biopsychosocial. All the websites included some form of biomedical
information on the causes of neck pain, while only seven websites mentioned
psychological factors and one website mentioned social factors. The most
common biomedical causes of neck pain discussed were cervical muscle strain
and radicular pain due to cervical disc prolapse. On the other hand, the
limited biopsychosocial websites highlighted perceived stress, depressed
mood, and job-related mental stress as psychosocial factors contributing to
neck pain. Conclusions This analysis revealed that freely accessible
Japanese online information on the causes of neck pain, as found through
Google, predominantly focuses on the biomedical causes, often neglecting or
insufficiently addressing the psychosocial aspects. This finding underscores
a gap between the available online resources and the comprehensive
understanding promoted by the biopsychosocial model of health. Healthcare
professionals need to be proactive in guiding their patients toward
reliable, well-rounded resources that acknowledge the crucial role of
psychosocial factors in neck pain. Furthermore, developers of online health
information must aim to improve the depth and breadth of psychosocial
factors discussed, promoting a more holistic understanding of neck pain for
the Japanese public.

13. Survey of the quality and origins of websites on penile low-intensity
shockwave therapy in Canada.
Taylor Remondini, Alexandra Millman, Keith Jarvi, Ethan Grober, Yonah
Krakowsky
INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study was to establish the quality of
patient-facing websites advertising low-intensity shockwave therapy (LISWT)
for erectile dysfunction (ED) and Peyronie's disease (PD) patients in Canada.
METHODS: Canadian websites offering LIWST for ED or PD were identified using
online web searches. The characteristics of these websites were reviewed,
along with examining the presence of HONCode certification, assigning a
brief discern score (a tool designed to evaluate health information online)
and readability scores. We also examined the LIWST technology advertised, as
well as benefits of LIWST cited by the websites.
RESULTS: Twenty-five unique websites linked to 46 clinics were identified
and reviewed. Twenty-four percent of websites were run by a urologist. Other
specialties offering LISWT included general practitioners,
anesthesiologists, naturopathic medicine, nurse practitioners,
physiotherapists, and registered massage therapists. Twenty-four percent of
the websites advertised the use of a focused shockwave generator. Forty
percent of the websites had peer-reviewed references. The average brief
discern score was 14 (standard deviation 3.4). There was no association
between the physician- or non-physician-led websites and the use of
peer-reviewed references, readability scores, the number of clinic
locations, or higher brief discern scores.
CONCLUSIONS: LISWT is readily advertised online for ED and PD patients in
Canada; however, only a minority use a focused shockwave generator. There is
a wide diversity of practitioners offering LISWT. Websites offering LISWT
are generally of poor quality and do not provide adequate information for
patients to make educated treatment decisions.

14. YouTube Videos on Nutrition and Dental Caries: Content Analysis.
Memphis Long, Laura E Forbes, Petros Papagerakis, Jessica R L Lieffers
BACKGROUND: Dental caries is the most common health condition worldwide, and
nutrition and dental caries have a strong interconnected relationship. Foods
and eating behaviors can be both harmful (eg, sugar) and healthful (eg, meal
spacing) for dental caries. YouTube is a popular source for the public to
access information. To date, there is no information available on the
nutrition and dental caries content of easily accessible YouTube videos.
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to analyze the content of YouTube videos on
nutrition and dental caries.
METHODS: In total, 6 YouTube searches were conducted using keywords related
to nutrition and dental caries. The first 20 videos were selected from each
search. Video content was scored (17 possible points; higher scores were
associated with more topics covered) by 2 individuals based on the inclusion
of information regarding various foods and eating behaviors that impact
dental caries risk. For each video, information on video characteristics
(ie, view count, length, number of likes, number of dislikes, and video age)
was captured. Videos were divided into 2 groups by view rate (views/day);
differences in scores and types of nutrition messages between groups were
determined using nonparametric statistics.
RESULTS: In total, 42 videos were included. Most videos were posted by or
featured oral health professionals (24/42, 57%). The mean score was 4.9 (SD
3.4) out of 17 points. Videos with >30 views/day (high view rate; 20/42, 48%
videos) had a trend toward a lower score (mean 4.0, SD 3.7) than videos with
≤30 views/day (low view rate; 22/42, 52%; mean 5.8, SD 3.0; P=.06), but this
result was not statistically significant. Sugar was the most consistently
mentioned topic in the videos (31/42, 74%). No other topics were mentioned
in more than 50% of videos. Low-view rate videos were more likely to mention
messaging on acidic foods and beverages (P=.04), water (P=.09), and
frequency of sugar intake (P=.047) than high-view rate videos.
CONCLUSIONS: Overall, the analyzed videos had low scores for nutritional and
dental caries content. This study provides insights into the messaging
available on nutrition and dental caries for the public and guidance on how
to make improvements in this area.

17. Hysteroscopy in the new media: quality and reliability analysis of
hysteroscopy procedures on YouTube™.
Alessandro Libretti, Salvatore Giovanni Vitale, Stefania Saponara,
Christian Corsini, Carmen Imma Aquino, Federica Savasta, Eleonora Tizzoni,
Libera Troìa, Daniela Surico, Stefano Angioni, Valentino Remorgida
BACKGROUND: Hysteroscopy plays a crucial role in diagnosing and managing
various intrauterine pathologies. However, its execution can be influenced
by patients' perception and understanding, which are often shaped by digital
resources such as YouTubeTM. Given its popularity and accessibility,
YouTubeTM has the potential to greatly influence patients' knowledge and
expectations about this procedure, highlighting the need for accurate and
reliable information.
PURPOSE: This study aims to assess the reliability and quality of
hysteroscopy information available to patients on YouTubeTM. Understanding
the nature of information patients' access can help address their fears and
potential misunderstandings about the procedure, consequently reducing the
likelihood of suspension or postponement due to anxiety.
METHODS: A comprehensive analysis of YouTubeTM was conducted, simulating the
search process of a patient seeking information about hysteroscopy. The
study evaluated the reliability and quality of 90 out of the first 100
hysteroscopy-related videos on YouTubeTM, scored by four gynecologists-two
experienced hysteroscopists and two trainees. The videos were assessed for
reliability and quality using the mDISCERN and Global Quality Scale (GQS)
scores.
RESULTS: The average mDISCERN and GQS scores for the evaluated videos were
below the optimal three points, highlighting the lack of fluency,
comprehensiveness, and reliability of the available information. Notably,
while videos produced by experts, including doctors and professional
channels, had higher scores, they still fell short of the minimum score of
3. These videos also were not considered more suitable for either patients
or trainees. Videos that were assessed as reliable (mDISCERN ≥ 3) were
observed to be longer and were more frequently produced by doctors. These
videos were suggested more to trainees rather than patients. Similarly,
videos deemed as fluent and comprehensive (GQS ≥ 3) were longer and were
more often recommended to patients.
CONCLUSIONS: While YouTubeTM is a widely used source of medical information,
the quality and reliability of hysteroscopy videos on the platform are poor.
The strategic use of selected, high-quality hysteroscopy videos can enhance
procedure success and alleviate patient fears. However, the unsupervised
discovery of information by patients could potentially lead to procedure
failure or an elevated level of stress due to misleading or incorrect
information.

18. Ketogenic diet: Assessing YouTube video information using quality,
reliability, and text analytics methods.
Avinash Rana, Monika Arora
OBJECTIVE: Patients and the general audience refer social media platforms,
such as YouTube, to learn and apply contemporary dietary methods. It is
difficult for users to analyze the correctness and quality of information
available on open platforms. Using scientific evaluation, this study
assessed the quality, reliability, and content of YouTube videos on
ketogenic diet (KD).
METHODS: Three experienced medical practitioners reviewed and evaluated 95
videos. The quality and reliability of the videos were assessed using the
quality criteria for consumer health information and the global quality
scale (GQS). Topic modeling and sentiment analysis were employed to
determine the dominant themes and polarity of the information.
RESULTS: Three types of publishers (doctors, educational institutions, and
influencers) were identified for the study. The mean length of videos posted
by doctors was high at 42.24 min. The reliability and quality scores ranging
from 0 (low) to 5 (high) had an average of 3.08 ± 1.14 and 3.18 ± 1.18,
respectively, for sampled videos. One-way analysis of variance reveals
significant differences in DISCERN and GQS scores among doctors, educational
institutions, and influencers. Topic discovery identified four themes: keto
versus glucose, diabetes, KD food, and major chronic diseases. Sentiment
analysis reveals positive content polarity, some content shared by doctors
had a neutral sentiment.
CONCLUSION: Content creators should augment the content by citing medical
information and terminology. Viewers relied more on doctors for information
related to KD. The aesthetic quality is high for all types of publishers.
Publishers could focus on the discovered themes to create more content.
Publishers should produce high-quality videos by improving esthetics (to
increase engagement), and reliable medical information (to increase impact).

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: YouTube has become a digital visual library in
almost all fields of life, including medicine. Healthcare professionals and
students frequently use YouTube to gain new skills and knowledge; however,
the content of these videos has not been scientifically evaluated.
Therefore, this study aimed to determine the descriptive adequacy and
quality of YouTube videos on lumbar spine manipulation techniques (LSMTs)
prepared by different healthcare professionals.
METHODS: The first 50 most relevant videos retrieved on searching YouTube
for the keyword 'lumbar spinal manipulation techniques' were included in the
study. The video metrics (total duration, number of views, time since
upload, number of comments, number of likes, and number of dislikes) that
could be accessed from video descriptions were recorded. However the videos
were scored according to manipulation definition criteria proposed by the
American Academy of Orthopedic Manual Physical Therapists (AAOMPT
manipulation description score - AAOMPT-MDS) and benchmark criteria for
quality of digital content by the Journal of American Medical Association's
(JAMA). The video metrics, AAOMPT-MDS and JAMA scores of the videos prepared
by medical doctors, chiropractors, osteopaths, and physiotherapists were
compared.
RESULTS: Video metrics of groups were similar. The mean AAOMPT-MDS of the
videos was 2.40 ± 1.57 out of 6.00 (higher score was better), and the mean
JAMA score was 2.14 ± 1.05 out of 4.00 (higher score was better). Videos
created by all professional groups had statistically comparable AAOMPT-MDS
and JAMA scores (p > 0.05).
CONCLUSION: Although YouTube videos on LSMTs offer valuable information for
professionals and students, creators should follow the proposed
recommendations when producing these videos to ensure quality content and
systematic presentation.

20. The Benefit of YouTube Videos as a Source of Information on Tinnitus
for Patients.
Satvinder Singh Bakshi, Vinoth Kumar Kalidoss, Seepana Ramesh, Soumyajit Das
Introduction Tinnitus is one of the most common otological complaints
encountered. Patients often use the internet, especially YouTube videos, as
a source of information regarding their health condition. There is a need to
analyze the standard and quality of information in these videos so that the
patients receive correct information. Objective The purpose of the present
study was to evaluate the reliability and utility of YouTube videos on
tinnitus. Methods The first 100 videos on YouTube using the search terms
tinnitus and ringing in the ear were identified. Three subject experts
assessed the reliability using the modified five-point DISCERN score and
utility using a usefulness score. Various indices like view ratio, like
ratio, video power index, and interaction index were also calculated.
Results Out of the 100 videos selected, 34 were excluded; collectively the
remaining 66 videos were viewed 12,797,730 times. The most common upload
sources were hospital/physician (39%), paramedic health care providers
(19%), and alternative medicine (19%). The discern score was the highest in
hospital/physician group (mean 19.3) and lowest in patient experience group
(mean 13.4). A negative correlation was observed between the number of views
(correlation coefficient -0.214), number of likes (correlation coefficient
-0.242), number of comments (correlation coefficient -0.242), and the
usefulness score. Conclusion Although there are multiple videos on YouTube
regarding tinnitus, the overall educational content and reliability of the
videos are poor. Video popularity is not associated with usefulness.
Healthcare providers should counsel patients regarding videos on YouTube and
try to create more comprehensive videos.

21. Health-promoting behavior among undergraduate students in the
COVID-19 era: Its association with problematic use of social media,
social isolation, and online health information-seeking behavior.
Chaeyoung Lee, Yujeong Choi, Kyounghae Kim, Yein Lim, Haeun Im, Se Jin Hong
OBJECTIVE: To examine the association between problematic use of social
media, online health information-seeking, social isolation, and
health-promoting behaviors among Korean undergraduate students.
METHODS: In total, 178 undergraduate students participated in this study. A
multiple linear regression analysis was performed.
RESULTS: Predictors of health-promoting behaviors included overall time
spent on social media, problematic social media use, social isolation, and
online information-seeking, explaining 33.5 % of the variance in
health-promoting behaviors.
CONCLUSION: Prolonged social media use and social isolation negatively
affected undergraduate students' health-promoting behaviors, while online
information-seeking positively affected them. Nurses should assist young
adults in improving health-promoting behaviors by preventing problematic
social media uses, reducing social isolation, and strengthening their online
health information-seeking ability.

22. Topics of questions and community interaction in social Q&A during
the COVID-19 pandemic.
Hengyi Fu, Sanghee Oh
BACKGROUND: Considering social distancing requirements and isolation during
the COVID-19 pandemic and the widespread health mis/disinformation on social
media, filling the pandemic-related information gap is critical.
OBJECTIVES: This study explored COVID-19-related question topics, topic
correlation, evolving trends, and community interactions by leveraging data
from a health question-answering (Q&A) community (public and health
professionals) over a 2-year period.
METHODS: A total of 828 questions were collected and manually reviewed from
a health Q&A and classified into 2492 codes. Question topic correlations,
trends, and community interactions were generated using different
statistical techniques.
RESULTS: Thirty-seven topics were identified, and strong topic correlations
were observed between the cognitive layer and other layers. These topics
changed as the pandemic developed. Community interaction analyses revealed
topics that were popular but received comparatively fewer responses.
DISCUSSION: The findings could illuminate the dynamic changes in people's
interests and concerns related to COVID-19 and their experiences of
exchanging information in social Q&A communities.
CONCLUSION: This study examined the practical significance of understanding
topics of interest during a pandemic. The findings can inform the design of
social health Q&A platforms that could reduce the risks of misinformation
and disinformation.
