| Core Tip |
With technological advancements, many patients look toward the internet as their primary source of information to learn about their respective medical conditions. The American Medical Association and National Institute of Health strongly recommend that online medical information be written at the 6th to 8th-grade level to aid comprehension by patients of all literacy backgrounds. Readability measures how easy a piece of text is to read. This, in turn, affects how much information people can understand and retain. Our study aims to assess the readability of online information regarding Jones fracture. A total of 93 websites were analyzed for reading assessment. The overall mean average grade level of all websites in the study was 10.95230 ± 2.27862, corresponding to a 10th-grade reading level. In Conclusion, most of the medical information evaluated was at an 11th-grade level, far exceeding AMA and NIH recommendations. |
