About the Journal

Help consumers use electronic resources to find the health information they need!

The Journal of Consumer Health on the Internet is the only professional peer-reviewed journal devoted to locating consumer health information via the Internet. In this newly renamed journal (formerly Health Care on the Internet), librarians and health information providers describe programs and services aimed at helping patients and the general public find the health information they need.

From the Editor: “Studies have shown that health information is one of the major reasons that people worldwide access the Internet. As the amount of health information on the Web increases exponentially, it becomes critical that librarians—including public and medical librarians—be knowledgeable about what is available online and be able to direct users to reliable, accurate, quality information.” To that end, this valuable journal has been refocused on consumer health information programs and services—provided by librarians and health care institutions—that help guide consumers to quality health care information.

Topics addressed by the journal include:

evaluation and selection of Web-based consumer health resources
descriptions of consumer health information programs relying on Web-based resources
training consumers to find health information on the Web
criteria for evaluating quality consumer health sites
alternative and complementary health sites

Columns in the Journal of Consumer Health on the Internet include:

HealthSitings, edited by Susan Murray
Consumer Health Searcher, edited by Lynda M. Baker
Alternative and Complementary Therapies, edited by Esther Y. Dell and Suzanne M. Shultz
JCHI Select Sites, edited by Nancy R. Glassman
Book Reviews, edited by Gail Y. Hendler

The Journal of Consumer Health on the Internet is an essential resource for libraries, persons, and institutions whose responsibilities include making health information available to the general public.
