LINKS TO ONLINE MEDICAL RESOURCES

Some books, articles, and online information services are reliable, but many are not. You need to distinguish what is helpful from what is harmful. It's important to be aware that many of the online health services were created by companies whose main goal is to make money. Don't be taken in by something that serves as an advertisement!

Next time you log on to your favorite health care Web site, look for the sponsor and the advertisers. Then consider whether the information is in your best interest, or whether it's designed to sell you something. Below are a list of reliable sites where the information is reviewed by competent medical professionals.

Consider any online information unreliable unless you can answer these questions:
  • Who wrote what you are reading? The site should contain the name of a real person.
  • Where does that person work? A university? A Web business? A product/drug manufacturer? Can you easily find that information on the site?
  • Was the information created for the site? If not, is there clear attribution showing where the information originated?
  • Who owns the site, and who pays for it? The source of the money and ownership should be clearly identified.
  • Can you tell when the article itself was posted, whether it has been updated, and when?

    If you can't answer these questions, you may want to look elsewhere for health information. Even if you can answer the questions easily, there's no guarantee that the information is accurate and unbiased. Since so much information is available today, we may not know any more than you on any given medical subject the first time you raise it. If you have questions we will use our resources to get you responsible answers about anything you find on the 'net.
