Your gateway to health
information!
|
Is this a good Web site? |
Here are some good sites! |
|
Does the information seem current? Does it tell me when it was written? Does the
information sound possible, or does it sound too good to be true? Is there
evidence to support the information?
Is the author identified? Is
the author with a hospital or government agency that I know? Is the
site just trying to sell me something?
Do they care about their product or me? Does the
site want personal information like address, phone, or credit card
numbers? Is it invading my privacy? Have I
spoken to my doctor about this? My
doctor can help me use this information. |
