This chapter focuses on a few excellent health websites and on techniques for evaluating other health information sites we may find in our explorations. It helps us become comfortable conducting an online health information search, learn to explore and become familiar with several reliable health websites, and understand and apply evaluation techniques to unfamiliar health websites. Genetics home reference contains consumer information about genetic conditions and the genes or chromosomes responsible for those conditions. Household products database contains information about thousands of brand-name household products and their potential health effects. Consumers have access to more medical information than ever before. The Web and its sophisticated search tools have resulted in a greater number of patients accessing Internet health information. The best way to find health information on the Web is to go to the sites we know have reliable, accurate, current, and unbiased information.
