- How to Evaluate Online Health Information: A Practical Five-Step Check
Health information is easy to find, but its quality varies widely. In this concise educational episode, Bartek Lawa explains five practical checks you can apply before relying on an online health claim: identify who created it, check when it was published or reviewed, trace key claims to credible evidence, compare them with independent sources, and look for a balanced discussion of benefits, risks, and limitations.
The checklist is designed to support health literacy and help listeners prepare better questions for qualified healthcare professionals. It does not provide individual medical advice and does not replace diagnosis or treatment.
