In the past few years, parents of children seen in my clinic are frequently conducting online searches relating to medical questions. How reliable are online resources in pediatrics and what guidance can I provide parents when searching online about their children's health?
The use of the Internet to gather medical information has increased dramatically over the past decade, including in the field of pediatrics. The enormous amount of information is confusing to parents and providers alike, and general search engines have not done enough to distinguish reliable from biased information. Physicians can develop websites with reliable content, advise parents on how to identify reliable sources of information, and give examples of websites to review child health-related topics.
在过去几年里，来我诊所就诊孩子的家长经常在网上搜索与医学问题相关的内容。儿科领域的在线资源有多可靠？当家长在网上搜索孩子的健康问题时，我能给他们提供什么指导？
在过去十年里，利用互联网收集医学信息的情况大幅增加，儿科领域也是如此。海量信息让家长和医疗服务提供者都感到困惑，普通搜索引擎在区分可靠信息和有偏见信息方面做得还不够。医生可以创建包含可靠内容的网站，就如何识别可靠信息来源向家长提供建议，并给出一些可用于查阅儿童健康相关主题的网站示例。
