5 Steps To Find the Right Health Information For You On the Internet

A number of recent studies have reviewed this activity and three factors stand out:

People trust doctors to deliver high quality health information, and information from the internet discussed with doctors, who are the "health information experts" often leads to changes in treatment.

For a quick simple search there is nothing wrong with doing rapid searches at www.google.com or www.yahoo.com ,and review the results from at least the first two or three pages.

The second quick and dirty approach to undertake routinely is to go to a couple of quality information sites as your first stop beyond the search engines.

I recommend www.wikipedia.com the amazing open source encyclopedia with great breadth and depth, but which still has a level of inaccuracy, and www.medlineplus.gov which is a Government run site and is, in my opinion, the best overall consumer health site on the Internet.

The two main professional databases are: "Medline" at the NIH and "Psycinfo" ( at the American Psychological Association
