05/2006 | tm Technisches Messen, Oldenbourg WissenschaftsverlagOBJECTIVES: This article analyzes the efforts of three organizations to provide a standard that guides Internet users to reliable health care sites. METHODS: Comparison of health Internet sites, interviews and document studies. RESULTS: In comparing these approaches, three different constructions of reliability are identified. Conclusions: The resulting possibilities and restrictions of these constructions for users that are searching for health information on the Internet are revealed.
