: The Internet was mentioned as a way to gather information. As health care information consumers, what do we need to be aware of in surfing the web for health care information?
I think it is most important to be aware of what the article is about; who is sponsering the article and what is the main purpose of the article. Is it to sell something or to discuss something or to change a lifestyle? Like everything in life, you are never quite sure of what you are reading is correct, so you need to verify it.
