Unvalidated tools to rate web health information are proliferating
Many incompletely developed rating instruments intended to assess the
quality of health information on websites continue to appear and most
stop functioning soon after their release. Gagliardi and Jadad (p 569)
found that in the past four years, 98 tools have been used to rate the
quality of health information on the internet. All were apparently
unvalidated. Strategies to evaluate the quality of health information
on the internet are flourishing but it is not clear they are necessary
or sustainable.
