Description
TikTok videos about HPV vary in quality, Rhoda Etta and co-authors find in a 2024 content analysis. Young users often meet health claims first on short video, and HPV drives cancers that vaccines can prevent. Two hundred videos found under two search terms on one day were scored.
Two raters, working apart, graded each video for coverage of six content areas, from what HPV is to outcomes. View counts, likes, shares, and uploader type were logged. A standard quality tool rated the facts as well. The audit shows what a teen scrolling for HPV facts is likely to absorb, and where creators mislead.
