Development and effectiveness evaluation of an interactive e-learning environment to enhance digital health literacy in cancer patients: study protocol for a randomized controlled... by Lukas Lange-Drenth, Hellena Willemer, Mirjam Banse, Anke Ernst, Anne Daubmann, Anja Holz, Christiane Bleich, Susanne Weg-Remers, Holger Schulz

“…However, the quality of online information varies widely and is often inaccurate or does not provide all the details patients need to make informed decisions. Additionally, patients’ often limited ability to find and evaluate cancer-related online information can lead to misinformation.ObjectiveAn interactive e-learning environment to promote digital health literacy will be developed and evaluated for effectiveness.Primary hypothesisCancer patients who use the e-learning environment (IG1.1–IG1.3) or the content of the environment as a non-interactive PDF file (IG2) will show greater improvement in their digital health literacy from baseline to 8 weeks after baseline compared to patients who receive no such intervention, but are referred to a standard information brochure.MethodsThe hypothesis will be tested in a stratified randomized controlled superiority trial with five parallel groups and the primary endpoint of digital health literacy. …”
