Evaluation Criteria: How Often?

Medical information changes quickly. Its important to know that you are getting the latest in research and treatment options when you are searching for health information.

  • Look at the bottom of the home page and every page! for copyright information and last date updated
    • Treatment and research needs to be current
    • Personal stories do not
  • If there are links to articles, do they include the dates the articles were written?
  • Are there lots of broken links? Thats a sign the web site is not maintained.

Next, if it seems TOO GOOD to be true, it probably is!
