Introduction: Parents often access online resources to educate themselves when a child is diagnosed with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). In order to be fully understood by the average adult American, online health information must be written at an elementary school reading level. It was hypothesized that current available online resources regarding DDH would score poorly on objective measures of readability (syntax reading grade-level), understandability (ability to process key messages), and actionability (providing actions the reader may take). It was additionally hypothesized that the readability, understandability, and actionability would not correlate with search rank. Methods: Patient education materials were identified utilizing two independent online searches of the term “DDH” utilizing a commonly used search ending. From the top 50 search results, websites were included if directed at educating patients/parents regarding DDH. News articles, non-text material (video), research and journal articles, industry websites, and articles not related to DDH were excluded. The readability of included resources was quantified using the Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level Index. The Patient Education Materials Assessment Tool (PEMAT) was used to assess understandability and actionability using a 0-100% scale for both measures of interest. Spearman’s rho was used to examine the association between a website’s average search rank (from first to last) and its readability, understandability, and actionability. Statistical significance was defined as p
