Evaluation of YouTube™ and TikTok™ Videos as Educational Tools for Cleft Lip and Palate Patients

Posted: January 16, 2025

The analysis found that while YouTube™ offered longer and more comprehensive videos from academic/health organizations for educational purposes, TikTok™ videos, although more frequently accessed, were of lower quality and primarily consisted of individual and personal content. Both platforms exhibited predominantly low-quality videos, indicating that they may not be suitable as educational tools for guiding patients with CLP through their multidisciplinary treatment.
