Expanding DISCERN to create a tool for assessing the quality of Web-based health information resources.
Based on criteria for assessing the quality of health information extracted from a review of the literature, we expanded the DISCERN instrument by adding 14 questions. New questions addressed language of the web-based health information resource, level of readability of the resource, and usability of the web page or portal for the resource.
