Résumé
YouTube® is a powerful resource for the dissemination of health information to the general public. We assessed the quality, understandability and evidence-based content of YouTube videos discussing hidradenitis suppurativa treatments, categorized by source: dermatologists, other healthcare professionals, or patients. We demonstrated patient videos were the most popular by viewers, but had the worst ratings for quality and understandability of information presented. Moreover, patient videos were the least likely to recommend the evidence-based treatments. Moving forward, there should be a partnership between dermatologists and patient advocates to create engaging, educational online content for patients to take ownership of their own health.
