HSWG - Quality of Health Info. - Policy Paper |
 | | The criteria presented herein were developed by focusing on health information websites intended primarily for the general public, and do not address information on mailing lists, listservs, bulletin boards, chat rooms, etc., where it is easier to post information with greater anonymity. |
 | | To ensure objectivity in the development of the criteria, 18 individuals with diverse backgrounds, including leaders of medical schools, libraries, pharmaceutical associations, government agencies, professional medical associations, and consumer groups, were invited to attend. |
 | | The criteria were categorized as either "Essential," "Important," or "Desirable," and these ratings served as a starting point for further refinement of the criteria at the second Health Summit Meeting. |
