Résumé
L’objectif de cet article est d’investiguer de manière systématique la qualité des sites internet francophones traitant de la dépendance à l’alcool. Les auteurs ont examiné les 20 premières pages identifiées par trois moteurs de recherche généraux avec deux mots clés. Au total, 45 sites pertinents ont été évalués. Les auteurs concluent que la qualité globale des sites est relativement pauvre, spécialement pour la description des traitements possibles, et largement variable. La qualité de contenu n’est pas corrélée avec les autres aspects évalués tels que l’interactivité, l’esthétisme ou le dévoilement de l’identité des auteurs ou de leur source.
Abstract
The objective of this article is to systematically assess the quality of web-based information in French language on the alcohol dependence. The authors analysed, using a standardised pro forma, the 20 most highly ranked pages identified by 3 common internet search engines using 2 keywords. Results show that a total of 45 sites were analysed. The authors conclude that the overall quality of the sites was relatively poor, especially for the description of possible treatments, however with a wide variability. Content quality was not correlated with other aspects of quality such as interactivity, aesthetic or accountability.
