When deciding which website to use for more information about your current health condition here are some things to consider: the qualifications of the website, who write the website, how is website connected (which a group, organization, government body). To know if a website is trustworthy look at the information at the website, the references of the website, and if the claims to the website are too good to be true. The purpose for most websites is to educate about lifestyle. For example: eat healthily, exercise and rest. A useful website would have information to benefit patients such as how to seek help, daily tips and prevention skills (Moore & Ayers, 2011). Another way to know if a website is reliable is it has logos (HONcode) and certifications at the bottom of the web page. Below are listed reliable websites.
