Caregiver tips: Questions
1. What is the purpose of the website, and who owns or sponsors it? 2. Who wrote the information? Who reviewed it? 3. When was the information written and updated? 4. Is your privacy protected? Does the website clearly state a privacy policy? 5. How can I protect my health information? 6.Does the website offer quick and easy solutions to your health problems? Does it promise miracle cures? 7. Answers can sometimes be found in a website's "About us, or "F.A.Q" (Frequently asked questions) sections.
