When you’re looking for answers to a health question, do you look for information online? Many people do. But using the internet as a source of health information can be risky because not all websites are trustworthy.
When you visit an online health site, ask these quick questions:
-
Who runs or created the site? Can you trust them?
-
What is the site promising or offering? Do its claims seem too good to be true?
-
When was the information written or reviewed? Is it up-to-date?
-
Where does the information come from? Is it based on scientific research?
-
Why does the site exist? Is it selling something?
