Title
Evaluating Quality of Health Information Sources
Abstract
the Web is an important source for people who are seeking healthcare information. Users, who search for health information online, do so without professional guidance. A major problem faced is the possibility that poor information has detrimental effects on health. In this sense, the main goal of this work is to provide a framework that evaluates health web page designed especially for common users, those that may lack sufficient knowledge to validate health content. In order to achieve this goal, we proposed a new methodology to calculate a Trust rank based on reputation and a set of quality indicators. The proposed methodology has shown effective to evaluate the quality of health information sources.
