| مستخلص: | Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate websites providing information on treatment for depression to the public, and to evaluate changes in the quality of website information over time. Methods: Websites (N = 25) addressing depression treatment were identified through the use of the Google search engine and by suggestions from healthcare professionals. Each website was evaluated based on the extent to which it addressed content areas deemed important by the public identified in previous research, overall quality as determined by the DISCERN, and reading level. Results: Overall, the quality of depression websites varied greatly. The majority of websites did not adequately answer the public's questions about treatment options, and presented higher quality information in the area of pharmacological treatments as compared to other treatment options. An average reading level of 10.0 was found across websites. Upon re-evaluation, only 14 of 25 websites added new content, and the majority of websites did not improve in their overall website quality (as measured by the DISCERN). Conclusion and Practice Implications: Websites could be improved by addressing important questions that consumers have concerning depression, as well as by creating higher quality content in the areas of psychological, neurotherapeutic, and alternative treatments.
