Key Points

To assess the quality, reliability, and educational value of short-form videos discussing precancerous cervical lesions across four major social video platforms.
Evaluated N=1842 short videos retrieved from TikTok, Bilibili, Kwai, and Xiaohongshu in China.
Scored content using validated evaluation instruments including the Global Quality Score (GQS), JAMA benchmarks, modified DISCERN, PEMAT, and HONcode, while tracking viewer engagement metrics.
TikTok consistently demonstrated the highest scores across all metrics for quality, transparency, and reliability compared to Bilibili, Kwai, and Xiaohongshu.
Videos published by healthcare practitioners, specifically gynecologists, scored higher than content produced by non-medical creators.
User engagement metrics, including likes, comments, and shares, did not consistently align with high informational quality.
