However, little is known about how the search engines operate or the consistency of the results that are returned over time. This study presents the results of analyses of searches from 2009, 2010, and 2011 for information on autism. We found that over time, consumers are likely to have different search experiences yielding different results, and we urge consumers to use caution when using the World Wide Web to obtain information on autism.

HALPERN, Auteur ; Timothy B. STEINHOFF, Auteur ; Nicole LETSINGER, Auteur ; Adam J. NAPLES, Auteur ; Fred R. VOLKMAR, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : p.1263-1274 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Autism spectrum disorder  Website  World Wide Web  Online  Internet Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The World Wide Web is a common method for obtaining information on autism spectrum disorders, however, there are no guidelines for finding websites with high quality. We conducted two studies examining the characteristics and/or quality of autism websites in 2009 and 2010. We found websites with a .gov top-level domain had a statistically significant association with high quality websites and websites offering a product or service and websites promoting a non-evidence-based practice had a statistically significant association with poor quality websites. Based on our work we concluded that online information should not replace the information consumers obtain from professionals. Further implications for practice, overview of study limitations and future directions are provided.
