Web evaluation techniques are just beginning to be developed. Although there have been attempts to evaluate the World Wide Web sites, these show varying degrees of comprehensiveness. It is especially important to evaluate health-related sites, as any errors or inaccuracies in the information disseminated may result in potentially harmful and serious consequences. |
