Information on infantile colic on the World Wide Web
Introduction:
The purpose of this study was to explore and describe the type and quality of information on infantile colic that a parent might access on the World Wide Web.
Methods:
Two checklists were used to evaluate the quality indicators of 24 Web sites and the colic-specific content.
Results:
Fifteen health information Web sites met more of the quality parameters than the nine commercial sites. Eight Web sites included information about colic and infant abuse, with six being health information sites.
Discussion:
The colic-specific content on 24 Web sites reflected current issues and controversies; however, the completeness of the information in light of current evidence varied among the Web sites. Strategies to avoid complications of parental stress or infant abuse were not commonly found on the Web sites. Pediatric professionals must guide parents to reliable colic resources that also include emotional support and understanding of infant crying. A best evidence guideline for the United States would eliminate confusion and uncertainty about which colic therapies are safe and effective for parents and professionals.
