health or the health of (other people)” (Galvez tan, et al., 2009).
Health information is any concept, step, or advice that various
sources give to aid the health the health status of an individual. The type of
information varies depending on “diseases, sexual health, weight loss/gain, drugs
and alcohol, depression/mental illness, violence, smoking, eating disorders,
acne/skin care, local clinics, and sexual assault” (Payne, et.al., 2005). The
information is critical as it may alter the health condition of a person. Another
important characteristic of health information is that it is continuously and rapidly
changing. Thus, it “should be timely, relevant, culturally appropriate, accessible,
and delivered in a relevant format” (Galvez Tan, et.al., 2009). There is a great need
to update oneself regarding current research evidence available in the field.
