Cross-sectional analysis evaluates online resources for atopic dermatitis, highlighting poor readability and quality.
Our study evaluates the readability, quality, and timeliness of online educational content on atopic dermatitis (AD), a prevalent chronic skin condition that significantly impacts patients’ quality of life. Our results reveal that none of the 93 evaluated websites met the 6th-grade reading level recommended by the American Medical Association, with an average readability score at the 11th-grade level. These findings underscore the need for improved online health resources to better serve patients and caregivers navigating AD management.
