Abstract

OBJECTIVES: Lyme disease is the most common tick-borne disease. People seek health information on Lyme disease from YouTube

METHODS: Most viewed English YouTube

RESULTS: Within the sample, 40 videos were consumer-generated, 31 were internet-based news, 16 were professional, and 13 were TV news. Compared with consumer-generated videos, TV news videos were more likely to mention celebrities (odds ratio [OR], 10.57; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.13-52.58), prevention of Lyme disease through wearing protective clothing (OR, 5.63; 95% CI, 1.23-25.76), and spraying insecticides (OR, 7.71; 95% CI, 1.52-39.05).

CONCLUSION: A majority of the most popular Lyme disease-related YouTube
