Abstract

This study was conducted to examine whether online information regarding male infertility on Swedish fertility clinics’ websites was readable, suitable, and of appropriate quality. A cross-sectional design was used to evaluate 22 fertility clinics’ websites focusing on male infertility by using the Suitability Assessment of Materials (SAM), and the DISCERN instrument. Results showed that information focusing on male infertility was scanty but had an “adequate” readability and was easy to comprehend. The conclusion was that the information on the websites must be reliable, so that men can base their choices concerning their fertility issues on reliable facts. It is important that health care professionals develop high quality sources of information regarding male infertility.
