What is criteria for evaluating health information?Show answer
Reliable information can be judged against several criteria. Source asks who produced it and whether they have relevant expertise, such as a government health body or a peer-reviewed study. Purpose asks why it was produced, because information designed to sell a product is less trustworthy than information designed to inform. Evidence asks whether claims are supported by research rather than testimonials or opinion.
