5 tips to evaluate online resources

Are you looking at a site or online resource that isn’t on this list? Here are five quick questions to help you evaluate online health and cancer information.

  1. Who runs or created this site? Can you trust them?
  2. What is the site or app promising or offering? Do its claims seem too good to be true?
  3. When was its information written or reviewed? Is it up to date?
  4. Where does the information come from? Is it based on scientific research?
  5. Why does the site or app exist? Is it selling something?
