Be a Partner in Your Health: How to Find and Evaluate Health Information
We are each in charge of our own health and well-being and having the right information can help us stay healthy and recover when we are not well. The Internet is filled with health information, some trustworthy and evidence-based, and some designed to sell something or to misinform. Each year books are published that make big claims about health topics, some are based on evidence, and some are nothing more than one person鈥檚 opinion. This lecture will provide some tips for how to find and evaluate health information.
