 Lesson Reliable and Unreliable
Health Information,
Product, and Services
Consumer health education is the process of assisting you to acquire the
correct information and understanding so that you will be able to make wise decision
about certain health item.

Remember things

Can you recall your lesson on health in grade 9 quarter 1? Your previous lesson
reminds you to be aware of the importance of having a healthy community. Community
health problems are common nowadays specially in this time of pandemic. It is important to
know the basic needs for safety. Now, let us find out how we can be educated in consumer
health. Are you ready? Let’s go!

What’s New
Directions: Read the situation and answer the guide questions.
Ryujin once went to a local market to buy ingredients for TLE subject. Upon passing by
some stalls, she was invited for free orientation on the latest product of a company. The
company was selling slimming tea/coffee and juices that can help you lose weight in just one
week. The teenager was easily attracted, which made her buy two boxes slimming tea and
another one box of slimming coffee for herself and her mother. She spent ₱500.00 for the
items.

After a month of regularly drinking the slimming products, the teenager and her
mother experienced severe digestive problem wherein they cannot flush out waste without
drinking the slimming products. Ryujin also gained 2 kilograms due to excessive eating while
relying on the products. Now, the teenager is guilty because of her action’s results.

1. What is the problem of the teenager?

2. What rights protect Ryujin in this situation?

3. What would you ask yourself before buying a product to avoid same
experience?

4. As a Grade 10 student, how can you help the Ryujin?

What is it?

Reliable and unreliable sources of health information and products

It is generally accepted that if an individual needs to get more reliable sources of health
information, he or she would have to approach somebody who is involved in modern western
medicine and stay away from faith healers who are considered as the unreliable alternative.

Reliable sources:
 Doctors- Doctors are professionals that are approved by the government to treat the
population. There are experts in different areas of the human body and as long as a
health problem is caught early, they can generally fix it.
  Health workers and nurses- Health workers and nurses in public clinics are a great help
because even though they aren’t doctors, they've usually spent a lot of time with one,
well, enough to help you out with minor health problems.
 Reputable internet sites - If research doesn’t bore you, you'll find plenty of reliable
internet sites that may give you some hints about certain diseases.
They will provide you with information about the following:

1. the name of the disease symptoms

2. level of risk
3. Idea when and how to see the doctor.

Unreliable sources:
 Faith healers and witch doctors- Faith healers and witch doctors are trusted by many of
those in rural areas; it is part of the culture. Some patients even believe in healers even
more than doctors because of many testimonials from relatives and other people. They
are able to help using plants from around the area, but only on minor problems. It
becomes dangerous when a few claims to heal cancer with oil and boiled leaves.
 Blogs and unreliable internet sites- Today anybody with a computer can write a blog and
create a site, this is fine when it is about recipes, traveling, hobbies and other leisurely
pursuits. It is another matter when somebody who thinks he or she knows with
certainty, the cure and prescribes it on an internet site. There is a high percentage that
many will listen and follow, considering today’s price of going to the doctor. This may
become a later problem for the reader whether he or she is the patient or not.

Evaluation of Health Information on the Web

There are six broad criteria for evaluation of health information you find on the web.
They are: Credibility, Content, Disclosure, Links, Design and Interactivity. Each of the criteria
is described in more depth in the boxes below. These criteria were originally defined in
Policy Paper: Assessing the quality of health information on the internet published in 1998.
Variations on the criteria have been used widely ever since.

1. Credibility
Credibility involves consideration of information source, currency, relevancy and editorial
review process.

Source: The source of health information is one of the most important criteria to determine
its quality and credibility.

Does the site display the name/logo of the institution or organization responsible for the
information?

Does the site display the authors name if relevant?

Can you find the qualifications/credentials of the author?

Personal or financial connections that present a real or potential source of bias should be
disclosed.

Disclosure of sponsorship and motivation of information provider, i.e. is the site advertising
a product or service?

Currency:

The date of which the original information is based should be displayed.

The date of posting on the web should also be displayed.

Relevance:

Does the content of the site correspond to the information it claims to offer?

Review process:

Does the site have a "seal of approval" from an individual or group commonly perceived as
credible?

Sites should state if the information provided has been subject to review and if so describe
the individuals and process involved.

2. Content

Content should be accurate and complete, with an appropriate disclaimer provided.

Accuracy:

The site should identify the data that underlies the conclusions presented.
Clinical or scientific evidence should be clearly stated.

The framework of the study should be described so the layperson can understand.

Users must be aware that testimonials are not evidence.

Disclaimer:

A website should have a disclaimer describing the limitations, purpose, scope, authority and
currency of the information.

Sources of information should be disclosed.

A disclaimer should emphasize that the content is information, not medical advice. Readers
should consult a health professional before making any health decisions.

Completeness:

Does the information appear to be complete?

Is the presentation of information balanced? Users should be wary of a one-sided view.

Negative results and a statement of information not known should be included.

3. Disclosure

Disclosure requires that a site inform users about any collection of data about them while at
the site, and how that data will be used.

A website should clearly state the purpose of the site.

Users should be informed of any collection, use or dissemination of information associated

with using the site.

Users should be informed who is collecting what and who owns the data collected.

4. Links

Links should be included so that users can verify content on the site and they should lead
users to other reliable sources of information.

Especially critical to the quality of a site are its external links that will lead readers to other
authoritative sources.
Links should be included to other appropriate sites so users can read further on a topic.

Content of originating site is more credible if it provides links to high-quality sites

5. Design

Design does not affect the quality of the content however it can have significant effects on
the delivery and use of the information.

Is the site logically organized for easy navigation?

Is the site focused on the purpose and target audience?

Does the information reflect the reading level of the user?

6. Interactivity

Interactivity does not affect the quality of the content however it is important to provide
contact information and feedback options on the site

A good website should include a feedback mechanism for users to offer comments,
corrections and raise questions.

A website should be accountable to the users.
