Use of the Virtual Environment as a Strategy for Disseminating Information during the COVID-19 Pandemic.

The virtual environment has democratized information and research in the health area, especially during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. This study analyzed the boosting strategies of social networks and identified the most accessed posts from a previously developed and validated information portal aimed at people with disabilities. This quantitative, cross-sectional, descriptive, exploratory study used Google Analytics® to collect data on origins and access numbers; boost data were obtained from the Facebook® and Instagram® networks themselves, after the end of each boost.

Development, validation and international certification of a health portal for people with disabilities.

Objectives: to develop, validate with specialists and internationally certify a virtual health portal, the D+Informação.

Methods: a quantitative methodological study. Twenty-two expert judges validated the Portal in the health and computer science areas using the Content Validity Index and the Gwet test.
