The internet offers extensive German-language pediatric health information, but it is poorly organized and difficult to find. Many sites primarily promote private practices rather than offering quality patient education.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Informatics
  • Pediatric Health Communication

Background:

  • Paediatrics has a significant online presence.
  • Patient education quality on pediatric health websites needs evaluation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify available pediatric health information online.
  • To assess the quality of patient education from a consumer viewpoint.

Main Methods:

  • Reviewed German-language pediatric websites found via 'kinderarzt' search.
  • Analyzed the first 200 Google results from November 2002.

Main Results:

  • Identified 40,900 potential pediatric sites.
  • Common content: practice info (71%), general health (52%), vaccinations (30%).
  • Few sites met Health On the Net (HON) standards or cited authorship/updates.

Conclusions:

  • The internet provides vast pediatric health information.
  • Much German-language content is unorganized and hard to access.
  • Many sites focus on self-promotion over patient education.
