Health Information Online
and Social Media

Health information moves quickly online, especially through social media. Some content can be useful, while other information may be incomplete, misleading, or not appropriate for your individual health needs.

In this video segment, Dr. Erika Arceneaux shares guidance on how to approach health information online, what to consider when evaluating medical content on social media, and when to bring questions to your provider.

Learn How to Evaluate Health Information with Dr. Arceneaux

Finding reliable health information can feel overwhelming. We encourage patients to use trusted, evidence-based resources to learn about women’s health, pregnancy, and gynecologic care. With so much content available online and through social media, it is not always easy to know what is accurate, current, or relevant to your individual needs.

The organizations listed below are trusted sources of medically reviewed information and can serve as a helpful starting point as you learn more about your health. While they are not a substitute for personalized medical advice, they can help you better understand your health, prepare for conversations with your provider, and feel more confident asking questions about your care.
