SO…

• What do we believe?• How many pages of search results do

we go through?

Page 5: 8 health information and consumers - qmed

USING INTERNET RESOURCES

Requires a very structured approach

Page 6: 8 health information and consumers - qmed

STRUCTURED APPROACH

Learn:

• “About” resources

• How to search correctly and/or consult librarians / specialists

• How to understand research results and consult health professionals 

• Accept limitations of research results and methods and make correct personal decisions

ABOUT RESOURCES

First – Authenticity• Who is responsible for the website / resource?• Is it updated regularly / is the information current?• Purpose of the site - is there scope for bias?• Site organization – is it easy to find what you need
