BackgroundAs representatives of health information communication platforms accessed through mobile phones and mobile terminals, health-related WeChat public accounts (HWPAs) have a large consumer base in the Chinese-speaking world. However, there is still a lack of general understanding of the status quo of HWPAs and the quality of the articles they release. ObjectiveThe aims of this study were to assess the conformity of HWPAs to the Health on the Net Foundation Code of Conduct (HONcode) and to evaluate the suitability of articles disseminated by HWPAs. MethodsThe survey was conducted from April 23 to May 5, 2019. Based on the monthly (March 1-31, 2019) WeChat Index provided by Qingbo Big Data, the top 100 HWPAs were examined to evaluate their HONcode compliance. The first four articles published by each HWPA on the survey dates were selected as samples to evaluate their suitability. All materials were assessed by three raters. The materials were assessed using the HONcode checklist and the Suitability Assessment of Materials (SAM) score sheet. Data analysis was performed with SPSS version 17.0 (SPSS Inc, Chicago, IL, USA) and Excel version 2013 (Microsoft Inc, Washington DC, USA). ResultsA total of 93 HWPAs and 210 of their released articles were included in this study. For six of the eight principles, the 93 HWPAs nearly consistently did not meet the requirements of the HONcode. The HWPAs certified by Tencent Corporation (66/93, 71%) were generally slightly superior to those without such certification (27/93, 29%) in terms of compliance with HONcode principles. The mean SAM score for the 210 articles was 67.72 (SD 10.930), which indicated “adequate” suitability. There was no significant difference between the SAM scores of the articles published by certified and uncertified HWPAs (P=.07), except in the literacy requirements dimension (tdf=97=–2.418, P=.02). ConclusionsThe HWPAs had low HONcode conformity. Although the suitability of health information released by HWPAs was at a moderate level, there were still problems identified, such as difficulty in tracing information sources, excessive implicit advertisements, and irregular usage of charts. In addition, the low approval requirements of HWPAs were not conducive to improvement of their service quality.

Semitransparent solar cells are promising power-generating windows for building integrated photovoltaics, and the color-fidelity is crucially important for their potential application. Herein, to obtain desirable neutral-colored perception while surmounting the single-junction efficiency barrier, a systematic method is introduced to design semitransparent tandem solar cells (ST-TSCs), and CsPbI2Br/PTB7-Th:IEICO-4F-based perovskite/organic tandem solar cells (P/O-TSCs) with outstanding color-fidelity are first reported. Above all, a numerical method, which includes the fluctuation factor of external quantum efficiency (EQEff) within the visible range to select the front-cell and the absorption selectivity factor within the near-infrared spectrum (SNIR) to assess the rear-cell, is established to construct the device structure. Second, the theoretical transmittance fluctuation factor within the visible range (TFFVIS) and absorption selectivity factor (S) are developed to evaluate ST-TSCs' color-fidelity and photovoltaic performance. Finally, a PTB7-Th layer is introduced to passivate the halogen vacancy defects of CsPbI2Br. As a result, the neutral-colored semitransparent P/O-TSCs with a color coordinate of (0.344, 0.349) are achieved, which possess an efficiency of 13.56%, an average visible transmittance of 26.28% and a color rendering index of 96.4. The synergistic effects of the transmittance fluctuation factor and light-absorption selectivity open the path to design and fabricate semitransparent P/O-TSCs with balanced efficiency and good color neutrality.

To evaluate the health information literacy (HIL) level and influencing factors among digital immigrants in rural China and to investigate their obstacles of online health information seeking. Cross-sectional study. Digital immigrants aged 45 to 65 in rural China. Self-assessment questionnaires and a semi-structured interview were developed to measure HIL among 1,132 participants. Nonparametric tests and multiple linear regression were employed to explain the influencing factors. The HIL level of digital immigrants is low. Age, education level, and experience of Internet use impacted their HIL. Digital immigrants primarily accessed the Internet via mobile terminals, but their poor information skills, their lack of HIL education, and the low readability of online health information are major barriers of online health information seeking. Although respondents recognized the positive effects of health-related information on health promotion, their abilities to seek, evaluate, and apply health information were weak. The government should incorporate HIL into the national health literacy promotion program and strengthen legislative supervision of online health information.
