Many
consumers today get their health information from the internet, TV, and
magazines. It is also true that most of the published materials are
also availed online at some point. While the resources are great, some
offer information that is good and up to date while others do not.
Things have become very convenient these days and there are many health
magazines that have become available online today.
If you are
using the web, then you should find out more about who exactly is
running that site. You should always base your focus on the quality. You
should be skeptical. When you read things and they sound as if they are
too good to be true, most probably they are. You should always seek
information that is based on research, is unbiased, and is current
especially when it has to do with health.
There are some steps that can be followed to ensure that you achieve just that.
Consider the source
You
should only use the sources that are responsible and recognized. Find
out whether the information is from an individual, a commercial
institution, a health system, a professional organization, a non-profit
organization, or even the federal government. This can make a very big
difference in the kind of material that you end up reading. A website
should also display the contact information because lack of information
is usually a bad sign.
Quality
Websites are not
created the same. There are those that have an editorial board, meaning
that information is first reviewed before it is published. You can find
the information on the mission statement or the about us page. Sometimes
the website could also have a section where information about the
health writes is given or the authors. Sometimes, even though the
magazine is not published by health professionals, there could be links
to resources from people who actually are authorities in that area.
These are some of the things that will guarantee that you actually end
up with the best information.
Cyber-skepticism
Sometimes
some of the things written seem to be out of this world. Beware of
magazines that give cures for different illness and call them
breakthroughs or sites that give secret ingredients. Also, be careful
with a site that uses sensational writing where so many exclamation
marks are used and so on. The best health magazine should use simple
language.
Evidence
You should look for the evidence
behind claims made. Be reliant on medical research rather than opinion.
Look for references or author information. Testimonials and case
histories should have contact information. Anonymous testimonials should
never be relied on.
Timeliness
This is the other
thing that you definitely need to check. Consider how current the
information given is. Look at the dates on the documents. Latest
treatments should always be very current.
Biased information
You
should always be very aware of any kind of bias. Find out the main
purpose of the site and if it is supported by commercial advertising.
Always make sure that you protect your privacy too. Make sure the
magazine has a privacy policy in place.
