Quality, reliability and popularity assessment of Turkish YouTube videos on human papillomavirus and its vaccine: content analysis
Currently, YouTube has become a frequently utilized platform for sharing health information.

Promoting longer-duration, current and evidence-based videos prepared by healthcare professionals that cite reliable sources may contribute to the improvement of digital health literacy in the general population.
