Finding Reliable Health and Wellness
Information
In our quest to live healthier lives, it helps to understand how
to find current, reliable, and accurate health and wellness
information on the internet. It is easy for people to mistake
social media opinion, commercials, and propaganda for real
news and information. Unlike similar information found in
newspapers or television broadcasts, information available on the
Internet is not regulated for quality or accuracy; therefore, it is
particularly important for the individual Internet user to evaluate
the resource or information. Keep in mind that almost anyone can
publish anything they wish on the Web. It is often difficult to
determine authorship of Web sources, and even if the author is
listed, he or she may not always represent him or herself honestly,
or he or she may represent opinions as fact. The responsibility is
on the user to evaluate resources effectively. This can be a
challenging task. So how can we find reliable, vetted, health
and wellness information? To answer these questions read all
of chapter 15, watch video 15.2 below and please go to
the University of Georgia website library page
