Health information, whether in print or online, should come from a trusted, credible source. Government agencies, hospitals, universities, medical journals and books that provide evidence-based information are sources you can trust. Too often, other sources can provide misleading or incorrect information. If a source makes claims that are too good to be true, remember—they usually are.

There are many websites, books, and magazines that provide health information to the public, but not all of them are trustworthy. Use the resources provided here to safeguard yourself when reviewing sources of health information.
