Abstract
Abstract This article discusses online patient education materials (PEMs) in the context of type 1 diabetes and the language used to describe the condition. The role of healthcare providers and health information professionals in the delivery of online PEMs is described. Relevant theories regarding the impact of language are discussed. A theoretical framework for understanding and assessing PEMs is presented, along with the introduction of in-progress research on the use of language in online PEMs for adults with type 1 diabetes.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Consumer Health on the Internet is the only professional peer-reviewed journal devoted to locating consumer health information via the Internet. In this journal librarians and health information providers describe programs and services aimed at helping patients and the general public find the health information they need. From the Editor: "Studies have shown that health information is one of the major reasons that people worldwide access the Internet. As the amount of health information on the Web increases exponentially, it becomes critical that librarians-including public and medical librarians-be knowledgeable about what is available online and be able to direct users to reliable, accurate, quality information."
