Mapping the quality of Norwegian health information –Does it facilitate informed choices?

Norwegian web-based health information is not of sufficient quality to facilitate informed health choices made by citizens. These findings apply across a wide range of public health domains relating to infants, children, and youth. In the absence of appropriate health information of acceptable quality, estimates of the public's level of health literacy may need reconsideration. Further research is needed to appraise the quality of information in other health domains and countries.
