Abstract

We aimed to assess the content and quality of YouTube videos about endometriosis. Apify was used to retrieve videos, and 138 videos were included. Most videos originated in high-income countries and 50.0% were monetized. Median Patient Education Materials Assessment Tool Actionability and Understandability were 95.0 and 100.0, respectively. The Median Discern score was 67.5. Compared to other sources, Patient Education Materials Assessment Tool Actionability and Discern scores were significantly higher for health care professional videos and for videos created from 2021 onward. There was a significant positive association between the videos' year of appearance and the promotion of endometriosis awareness. In conclusion, endometriosis videos are of high quality, especially when produced by health care professionals, endometriosis awareness promotion has increased over the years.
