    CRITERIA FOR EVALUATING HEALTH

    INFORMATION, PRODUCTS, AND SERVICES.


    Criteria for evaluating health information,
    products, and services.
    Interactivity

    Disclosure

    Credibility

    Content
    CREDIBILITY

     tells about the source and


    recency of the information.
     In considering the credibility
    of the source, ask yourself
    whether the particular source
    you are reading is likely to be
    fair, objective and lacking in
    hidden motives.
      If the publisher's or author's
    contact information is listed in
    the form of a mailing address
    or phone number, this also can
    add to the legitimacy of the
    information.
    An important clue to the identity of
    the publisher can be found in the Web
    address:
    .edu — A Web address that ends in
    ".edu" is published by an
    organization that is associated with
    an educational institution such as a
    university.
    .gov — An ending of ".gov"
    signifies that the web page belongs
    to a governmental organization.
    .org — An address ending in ".org"
    belongs to a nonprofit.
    .com — An ending of ".com"
    belongs to a for-profit company.
    CONTENT

     tells about the accuracy, disclaimer,


    and competencies of information.
     When assessing the accuracy, try to
    determine whether the information is
    supported by evidence from scientific
    studies, other data or expert opinion.
     If you receive information from a
    secondary source such as an Internet
    site or a newspaper article, keep in
    mind that you are relying on another
    person's interpretation of the data.
    To summarize, when assessing
    accuracy, consider the following:
    Is the information based on
    scientific evidence?
    Is the information supported by
    facts?
    Is the original source listed?
    Do other sources back up the
    information?
    Is the information current?
    DISCLOSURE

    purpose and caveat of the information.


    It’s supposed to state whatever purpose or whatever
    things it intends to achieve.
    A caveat is a warning. When someone adds a caveat to
    something they’re telling you to beware — maybe what
    they’re telling you comes with certain conditions or
    maybe there’s something dangerous lurking.
    INTERACTIVITY

    tells about the feedback


    mechanism and means of
    information exchange
    between the source and the
    consumer.
    Reviews of the products
    and services.
    WAYS TO RELIABLE SOURCE OF
    HEALTH INFO:

    • consult professionals such as physician, scientists, health or science


    teachers, government health agency such as DOH and BFAD, and
    Educational Institutions.
