Description
Hannah Linney, Ken van Someren, and Sinead Keogh lay out a plan to review research on teenagers' skill at judging health information online. Teens form habits that last into adulthood while swimming in digital health claims, some of them false. Their 2026 protocol describes a scoping review across five databases, screening studies of young people's ability to find, judge, and use online health content.
The review will sort what kinds of studies exist, where they were done, and which skills they measured. Screening follows a standard reporting checklist, with a second reviewer checking part of the records. As a protocol, the paper reports no results yet. The finished map should show schools and health services where teen digital health skills are least understood.
