The Internet, regardless of whether or not it is reliable, is considered the main source of health information. However, the lay-user does not know which sources offer good quality information. The main objective of the present study, therefore, was to evaluate the quality of Spanish health-related webpages, and to determine whether the webpage source influences this quality. To this end, 36 webpages were selected through the PageRank® system. The webpages from all the Regional Health Services of Spain (19 sites) were also included. The quality evaluation, which was carried out by applying the Andalusian Health Quality Agency Test, indicated that the quality information offered by Spanish webpages is very low, since no site reached the maximum score. In addition, several important aspects, including those related with personal data management and the updating of information, were not considered by most of the evaluated pages. In summary, this work shows that quality of the health information webpages in Spain is generally low, and draws particular attention to certain responsibilities, that are not met by most evaluated webpages, including sites from the Regional Health Services.
互联网，无论其是否可靠，都被认为是主要的健康信息来源。然而，一般用户并不知道哪些来源提供高质量的信息。因此，本研究的主要目的是评估西班牙语健康相关网页的质量，并确定网页来源是否会影响其质量。为此，通过 PageRank®系统选择了 36 个网页。此外，还包括来自西班牙所有地区卫生服务机构的网页（19 个网站）。通过应用安达卢西亚卫生质量机构测试进行的质量评估表明，西班牙网页提供的质量信息非常低，因为没有一个网站达到最高分。此外，大多数评估网页并未考虑到一些重要方面，包括与个人数据管理和信息更新相关的方面。总之，这项工作表明，西班牙的健康信息网页的质量普遍较低，并特别注意到某些责任，而大多数评估网页，包括地区卫生服务机构的网站，都没有履行这些责任。
