Evaluating Health Websites

For your health’s sake, please evaluate health information on the web with great care. Check the validity of information from one site by comparing it with other sites. Non-profit organizations with a mission to share information, universities, and professional health organizations often have quality websites. Commercial websites which advertise products and any site asking for your personal information should be read with great care.

 

Remember the ABC’s of evaluation:

The Health on the Web resources have been evaluated and represent some of the best available in online health information.
