N2 - Purpose In light of highly publicized media coverage on breast implant recalls and Food and Drug Administration hearings on breast implant safety, online searches of these topics have surged. It is thus critical to determine whether such searches are providing meaningful information for those who use them. Patient/laywomen-directed online education materials on breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) must not only be comprehensible but also accurate, actionable, and culturally concordant, especially as more diverse populations turn to the internet for breast implant-related information. This study assessed the overall suitability of BIA-ALCL patient-directed educational text and video-based materials online. Methods This was a cross-sectional, multimetric investigation of online text- and video-based patient-directed educational materials for BIA-ALCL using multiple validated measures. Two reviewers assessed each resource. Kruskal-Wallis and Fisher exact analyses were used as appropriate to compare text- and video-based online resources. Results In total, 30 websites and 15 videos were evaluated, more than half (56%) of which were from academic/physician or governmental/nonprofit sources. Overall, website and video content, as well as quality, varied by source. Academic/physician or governmental/nonprofit sources tended to be more comprehensive and have higher-quality information than commercial/media outlet sources. Median actionability of websites was 38%, well below the threshold of 70% used in the literature to identify actionable resources. The median suitability score for BIA-ALCL websites was 57%, which is considered "adequate"based on published thresholds. The mean overall Cultural Sensitivity Assessment Tool score for websites was 2.4; Cultural Sensitivity Assessment Tool scores higher than 2.5 are generally regarded as culturally sensitive. In general, videos were more understandable than websites. Substantial interrater reliability across the validated tools used in this study was noted using Pearson correlation coefficients. Conclusions Online resources varied in content and quality by source. As BIA-ALCL becomes an increasingly salient topic among both providers and patients, it is important to empower women with accurate information about this implant-associated cancer. Of available resources, providers should refer patients or those seeking more information to websites from governmental/academic organizations (".gov"or ".org"domains) and videos from academic/physician or governmental sources, given that among high-quality resources, these were most clear/comprehensible. Overall, there is a need for improved online content on this topic.
