List research publication date, date of study, and website’s “Last Modified Date.” |
|
| Funding: Who is funding the site? Is the website operated by a pharmaceutical company or business endorsing a specific product? Is the site trying to sell you something? Does the site include advertisements? Are they clearly labeled, or do they blend with the general information? | |
| Bias/Frame of Reference/Agenda: Does the author appear to have a social or political agenda? Read the disclaimer to learn about the conditions under which the information is made available. The disclaimer can usually be found at the bottom of a site’s homepage or in the “About Us” section. | |
| Website accreditation: The URAC and the Health On the Net Foundation (HON) examine and verify websites for quality. Is one of those seals present? Which? Check the “About Us” section or the bottom of the homepage. | |
| Does the website ask for personal information? If so, how will that information be used and how will your privacy be protected?
