Web-Based Content on Diet and Nutrition Written in Japanese: Infodemiology Study Based on Google Trends and Google Search

Consequently, consumers (especially those with low media literacy and critical evaluation skills) are inundated with web-based information that they cannot adequately scrutinize [16,17]. In the internet age, Google Search is a common tool for discovering web-based information [18], whereas Google Trends is widely used to analyze web-based search behavior and search queries in the field of big data analytics in health care and public health research [19].

Creatively Adapting Touch-Based Practices to the Web Format During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Systematic Review

They all explore various methods used by practitioners to recreate a sense of touch and connection on the web. The themes serve as a way to categorize these methods, although some could be combined or interlinked with one another. For instance, an arts therapy group used different objects in participants’ homes while simultaneously connecting through the Whats App web-based platform. They shared their creative outcomes as part of a web-based Whats App web-gallery.

Prepandemic Antivaccination Websites' COVID-19 Vaccine Behavior: Content Analysis of Archived Websites

Prepandemic Antivaccination Websites' COVID-19 Vaccine Behavior: Content Analysis of Archived Websites

The importance of capturing and preserving these resources goes beyond saving the content only for historical value and research, as preserving web content also supports current technology by “assessing the trustworthiness of statements, detecting web spam, improving web information retrieval, [and] forecasting events” [11]. Without appropriate systems, this web content will be lost and the outcome will be not only a gap in our understanding of the past but also an inability to synthesize our present.

Young People’s Trust in Cocreated Web-Based Resources to Promote Mental Health Literacy: Focus Group Study

Young People’s Trust in Cocreated Web-Based Resources to Promote Mental Health Literacy: Focus Group Study

Web-based mental health resources have great advantages, such as accessibility, cost-effectiveness, instantaneity, and anonymity [8,9]. They can attract especially young people because such resources are favorably perceived by them and are effective for them [10,11]. According to a recent systematic review of studies from various countries, many young people have had experience in using web-based mental health resources and are prepared to use them [12].

The Role of Information Boxes in Search Engine Results for Symptom Searches: Analysis of Archival Data

The Role of Information Boxes in Search Engine Results for Symptom Searches: Analysis of Archival Data

A random subsample of 50 ads and 50 web results were independently coded by a second coder for type of information—the most subjective of the codes. User engagement with the elements on the page was measured as the time spent on each of the page elements (eg, ads, info box, itemized web results, and standard web results) and whether itemized web results and standard web results were clicked. Times were measured by monitoring whether the mouse pointer of the user was hovering over an element [10].

Pilot Project for a Web-Based Dynamic Nomogram to Predict Survival 1 Year After Hip Fracture Surgery: Retrospective Observational Study

Pilot Project for a Web-Based Dynamic Nomogram to Predict Survival 1 Year After Hip Fracture Surgery: Retrospective Observational Study

Apps based on the R package (RStudio v 1.3.1093; R Foundation for Statistical Computing), such as Shiny, can be used to translate statistical models into easy-to-understand, web-based interactive nomograms that readily demonstrate differences between low-risk and high-risk patients. One example is the Dyn Nom package [7] in R that predisplays the results of statistical models as a dynamic nomogram and readily allows individual prediction with 95% CI.

Unit Response and Costs in Web Versus Face-To-Face Data Collection: Comparison of Two Cross-sectional Health Surveys

Unit Response and Costs in Web Versus Face-To-Face Data Collection: Comparison of Two Cross-sectional Health Surveys

High internet penetration rates and widespread adaptation of the general public to the internet have encouraged experimentation with online HISs in developed countries to exploit the advantages of the web mode. Sending emails is the most cost-effective recruitment strategy for web surveys [5]. Even when using postal mail instead of email invitations, however, a web survey may have a considerable cost advantage over an F2 F survey [6].
