Abstract

Patients may not know where to look when researching a health issue. This may lead them to resources that are not supported by research and may become an issue for their own health. Some websites may be filled with medical jargon, which can potentially exacerbate anxiety about a particular condition or cause concern for unrelated health issues. A handout compiling a list of resources would be helpful to providers and beneficial to patients.
