PY - 2018 DA - 2018/10/19 TI - The QUEST for quality online health information: validation of a short quantitative tool JO - BMC Medical Informatics and Decision Making SP - 87 VL - 18 IS - 1 AB - Online health information is unregulated and can be of highly variable quality. There is currently no singular quantitative tool that has undergone a validation process, can be used for a broad range of health information, and strikes a balance between ease of use, concision and comprehensiveness. To address this gap, we developed the QUality Evaluation Scoring Tool (QUEST). Here we report on the analysis of the reliability and validity of the QUEST in assessing the quality of online health information.
