Health
Online Health Sites Rated
To help people gauge the credibility of Web sites devoted to health, Consumer Reports WebWatch and the Health Improvement Institute each rated the twenty most-trafficked health sites in nine categories: identity, advertising and sponsorship disclosure, corrections and currency, ease of use, privacy, coverage, design, accessibility, and contents. Each site's score was then published in Consumer Health WebWatch; those sites deemed "excellent" include WebMD, the National Institutes of Health, MayoClinic.com, MedicineNet.com, KidsHealth, and MedScape. More sites will be rated in the future.
