Evaluating online nutrition information: a scoping review of young adults’ source preferences and criteria for credibility and trustworthiness
To examine factors influencing the trustworthiness and credibility of digital nutrition information sources from the perspective of young adults.
Approach:
Methodology: Conducted a scoping review with a comprehensive search of 5 databases and grey literature up to 12/2024, following PRISMA-ScR guidelines.
Screening Process: Two reviewers performed a two-stage screening process.
Frameworks Used: Coding of trust- and credibility-influencing factors based on the Misinformation Receptivity Framework and the Online Credibility Framework.
Key Findings:
48 papers included, identifying 82 factors influencing trust and credibility.
Most frequently reported factors: clarity of information (n = 14), prior background knowledge (n = 13), and receiver's education (n = 7).
Only 25% of papers included a multi-ethnic sample.
75% of papers did not report participants' ethnicity.
Interpretation:
The literature primarily focuses on the receiver's characteristics while neglecting factors like the author's reputation and usability of digital platforms.
Limitations:
Limited reporting on ethnicity and nationality in studies.
Neglect of medium-, context-, or design-related factors.
Conclusion:
Further research is needed on trust- and credibility-inducing factors, incorporating diverse perspectives and cultural backgrounds.
A matched electronic health record study of more than 876,000 patients with type 2 diabetes found a low absolute incidence but higher relative hazard of documented smell and taste disturbances among patients prescribed glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists.
