MP05-11 PELVIC ORGAN PROLAPSE ON YOUTUBE: EVALUATION OF CONSUMER INFORMATION

The social media platform YouTube has more than 1.5 billion users and is frequently used for patient/physician education [1]. Over 33 million women worldwide are impacted by pelvic organ prolapse (POP) [2], a condition which is poorly understood by patients, even those with high rates of health literacy. Nearly 80% of pelvic floor patients report seeking health-related knowledge on social media platforms, such as YouTube [3]. No studies to date have examined the quality of YouTube videos on POP using validated criteria. Our objective was to evaluate the quality, understandability, and actionability or the ability for consumers to act after viewing, of POP videos on YouTube.
