Quality Criteria: On the Internet medical information is provided for laymen as well as for medical experts. This is frequently used to answer specific medical questions and is likely to exercise a direct influence on health related behaviour. Several authors and institutions set up quality criteria for medical information resources on the Internet to establish a basis for a reliable service to patients and physicians. Existing information resources can be evaluated according to these criteria.
