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).
HEALTH INFORMATION
The information is critical as it may alter the health
conditions 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
and evidence available in the field.
