Finding Health Information on the Internet
Finding Health Information on Social Media
Finding Health Information on Mobile Health Apps
Choose either a web site, social media post, or mobile app that addresses a health concern. Use the information from the NIH National Center of Complementary and Integrative Health site and evaluate its accuracy and currency. Write a one-two paragraph post, documenting your evaluation. The following questions can be used to structure the paragraph:
How do you know the site/app developers are credible?
Is the information provided accurate?
Is the information reviewed by experts?
How current is the information?
Is the site selling something?
How does the site handle personal information; is the site/app secure?
