Quality Health Websites

Basic criteria for selecting accurate and up-to-date websites

All websites are not created equal. Keep in mind that websites need to meet certain criteria for good quality.

Tips to consider for website quality:
  • Look for credentials. Who is responsible for the information posted? 
  • Has the website been certified or accredited or is it just opinion-based?
  • Is the website trying to sell you something?
  • Is the website up to date?
  • Is the content of the website providing the purpose that it says it will provide?
  • How is the content reviewed for accuracy?
  • Is there bias and only one side being represented on the website?
  • Is there a privacy policy?
Credible websites for easy access to health questions
