Summary, etc. Background: Critical evaluation of online health information has always been central to consumer health informatics. However,<br/>with the emergence of new Web media platforms and the ubiquity of social media, the issue has taken on a new dimension and<br/>urgency. At the same time, many established existing information quality evaluation guidelines address information characteristics<br/>other than the content (eg, authority and currency), target information creators rather than users as their main audience, or do not<br/>address information presented via novel Web technologies.<br/>Objective: The aim of this formative study was to (1) develop a methodological approach for analyzing health-related Web<br/>pages and (2) apply it to a set of relevant Web pages.<br/>Methods: This qualitative study analyzed 25 type 2 diabetes pages, which were derived from the results of a Google search<br/>with the keywords “diabetes,” “reversal,” and “natural.” The coding scheme, developed via a combination of theory- and data-driven<br/>approaches, includes 5 categories from existing guidelines (resource type, information authority, validity of background information<br/>sources, objectivity, and currency) and 7 novel categories (treatment or reversal method, promises and certainty, criticisms of<br/>establishment, emotional appeal, vocabulary, rhetoric and presentation, and use of science in argumentation). The coding involves<br/>both categorical judgment and in-depth narrative characterization. On establishing satisfactory level of agreement on the narrative<br/>coding, the team coded the complete dataset of 25 pages.<br/>Results: The results set included “traditional” static pages, videos, and digitized versions of printed newspapers or magazine<br/>articles. Treatments proposed by the pages included a mixture of conventional evidence-based treatments (eg, healthy balanced<br/>diet exercise) and unconventional treatments (eg, dietary supplements, optimizing gut flora). Most pages either promised or<br/>strongly implied high likelihood of complete recovery. Pages varied greatly with respect to the authors’ stated background and<br/>credentials as well as the information sources they referenced or mentioned. The majority included criticisms of the traditional<br/>health care establishment. Many sold commercial products ranging from dietary supplements to books. The pages frequently<br/>used colloquial language. A significant number included emotional personal anecdotes, made positive mentions of the word cure,<br/>and included references to nature as a positive healing force. Most pages presented some biological explanations of their proposed<br/>treatments. Some of the explanations involved the level of complexity well beyond the level of an educated layperson.<br/>Conclusions: Both traditional and data-driven categories of codes used in this work yielded insights about the resources and<br/>highlighted challenges faced by their users. This exploratory study underscores the challenges of consumer health information<br/>seeking and the importance of developing support tools that would help users seek, evaluate, and analyze information in the<br/>changing digital ecosystem.<br/>
