Abstract :Aims: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the quality of the information provided by the top 100 videos when searching for \"speech and language disorders\" on YouTube™. Methods: The results of the YouTube™ search were examined using the keyword "speech and language disorders”. The search was limited to the first 100 videos. Modified DISCERN, Global Quality Score (GQS), Video Information and Quality Index (VIQI), and the Journal of American Medical Association (JAMA) criteria were used for the evaluation of the videos. The Kruskal-Wallis H Test, Mann-Whitney U, and Spearman\'s RHO correlation were used for statistical analyses. The significance level was taken as p<0.05. Results: A total of 83 videos were taken for evaluation and 38 (41%) of these videos were uploaded by Hospital/University staff, 23 (27.7%) of them were from Others, 15 (18.1%) of them were from Specialists and 11 (13.3%) of them were uploaded by laypersons. The average DISCERN, VIQI, and GQS scores were 3.1 and the JAMA score was 2.0. Conclusion: We think that it is important for experts and academic institutions to upload high-quality, accurate, and precise videos that meet the expectations of society and include the experiences of the patients and their relatives.Keywords : Language disorders, speech disorders, internet, information source
