Assessing Online Material Related to Scoliosis: What Do Patients Want to Know?
Scoliosis is a relatively common condition and a popular topic among Google users. However, only 4% of online resources provided by Google were written at an appropriate reading level. The lack of patient-friendly resources related to scoliosis is concerning, particularly given that this patient population has been shown to search for information online at twice the rate of others. This data provides a framework for healthcare professionals to begin addressing common questions related to scoliosis in a patient-centred manner.
