This study identified the criteria that are valued among Internet users when rating and accessing health information on the World Wide Web. Participants (N = 578) successfully completed a Web-based survey by ranking 12 criteria for evaluating health information. Then, by applying those same evaluation criteria, rated the quality of three preselected health-related websites and indicated their preference for one of the three sites. Six criteria including content, design and aesthetics, currency of information and contact addresses were significant predictors for selecting high-quality health information on the Internet. However, compared to their perceived importance, participants' perceptions about quality health information on the Internet were not consistent when selecting quality websites. This study identified the implications for evaluation criteria among Internet users, health professionals and website developers.
本研究确定了网民在评价和访问万维网上的健康信息时看重的标准。578 名参与者成功地完成了一项基于网络的调查，他们对 12 项评价健康信息的标准进行了排名。然后，他们根据相同的评价标准，对三个预先选定的与健康相关的网站的质量进行了评价，并表示对三个网站中的一个的偏好。内容、设计和美观、信息的时效性和联系地址等 6 项标准是选择互联网上高质量健康信息的重要预测指标。然而，与他们的感知重要性相比，参与者在选择高质量网站时，对互联网上高质量健康信息的看法并不一致。本研究确定了互联网用户、健康专业人员和网站开发人员在评价标准方面的意义。
