The top 20 videos on YouTube for search terms Tourette\u2019s, Tourette\u2019s syndrome, Tourette syndrome and tics were selected. The portrayal of Tourette syndrome was assessed as positive, negative, or neutral. Top 10 comments for each video were graded as \u201csympathetic,\u201d \u201cneutral,\u201d or \u201cderogatory.\u201d A total of 14\u2009970 hits were obtained and 41 videos were retained, with an average of 590\u2009113 views (1369 to 13\u2009747\u2009069) and 1761 comments (0 to 35\u2009241). Twenty-two percent of videos retained portrayed Tourette syndrome negatively, 20% were neutral and 59% positive. Negative portrayals were significantly associated with more views (Spearman correlation rho = \u2013.46, P =.003) and comments (Spearman correlation rho = \u2013.47, P = .002). Although excellent examples of Tourette syndrome are available on YouTube, the popularity of negative portrayals may reinforce existing stigma in society.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0883073811432294","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,7,20]],"date-time":"2012-07-20T14:34:20Z","timestamp":1342794860000},"page":"1011-1016","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":34,"title":["Public Perception of Tourette Syndrome on YouTube"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"27","author":[{"given":"Mary Jane Lim","family":"Fat","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, University of Ottawa, Ottawa, ON, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Erick","family":"Sell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, University of Ottawa, Ottawa, ON, Canada"},{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Division of Neurology, Children\u2019s Hospital of Eastern Ontario, Ottawa, ON, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nick","family":"Barrowman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, University of Ottawa, Ottawa, ON, Canada"},{"name":"Clinical Research Unit, Children\u2019s Hospital of Eastern Ontario Research Institute, Ottawa, ON, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Asif","family":"Doja","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, University of Ottawa, Ottawa, ON, Canada"},{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Division of Neurology, Children\u2019s Hospital of Eastern Ontario, Ottawa, ON, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,7,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0883073811432294","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jpsychores.2008.03.006"},{"key":"bibr2-0883073811432294","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1469-8749.2008.03135.x"},{"key":"bibr3-0883073811432294","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1212\/01.WNL.0000086370.10186.7C"},{"key":"bibr4-0883073811432294","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jpsychores.2009.08.003"},{"issue":"3","key":"bibr5-0883073811432294","first-page":"435","volume":"37","author":"Comings DE","year":"1985","journal-title":"Am J Hum Genet"},{"key":"bibr6-0883073811432294","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/hsw\/15.2.107"},{"key":"bibr7-0883073811432294","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archpsyc.1986.01800120066013"},{"key":"bibr8-0883073811432294","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.102.1.14"},{"key":"bibr9-0883073811432294","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.socscimed.2003.10.008"},{"key":"bibr10-0883073811432294","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.87.6.936"},{"key":"bibr11-0883073811432294","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1300\/J019v22n01_02"},{"key":"bibr12-0883073811432294","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.yebeh.2010.02.004"},{"key":"bibr13-0883073811432294","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0883073811402345"},{"key":"bibr14-0883073811432294","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/mds.870090607"},{"key":"bibr15-0883073811432294","volume":"13","author":"Grossman L","year":"2006","journal-title":"Time"},{"key":"bibr16-0883073811432294","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.298.21.2482"}],"container-title":["Journal of Child Neurology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/0883073811432294","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1177\/0883073811432294","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/0883073811432294","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,29]],"date-time":"2026-04-29T20:36:45Z","timestamp":1777495005000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/0883073811432294"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2012,7,20]]},"references-count":16,"journal-issue":{"issue":"8","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2012,8]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1177\/0883073811432294"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/0883073811432294","relation":{},"ISSN":["0883-0738","1708-8283"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0883-0738","type":"print"},{"value":"1708-8283","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2012,7,20]]}}}
