Few adults check for source of online health information
Healthcare Strategist Trend Watch, November 10, 2006
According to a survey released by the Washington, DC-based Pew Internet Project, just 15% of 113 million American adults who search the Internet for information on health topics always check the source and date of the information they find to assess its quality. Three-quarters of health seekers said they check the source and date "only sometimes," "hardly ever" or "never." This translates to about 85 million Americans gathering health advice online without examining the quality indicators of the information they find.
