How evidence-based is the information on the internet about nausea and vomiting of pregnancy?
The Internet has become an important source of information about pregnancy and about health related concerns in general. This study assessed the quality of information available on the Internet for the common problem of nausea and vomiting of pregnancy (NVP). ⋯ Overall, the majority of information available online is accurate; however, the web pages demonstrated poor accountability and targeted an audience with a higher reading ability than the general population. Consideration of these findings would help create easy to navigate, credible web pages containing information to help women make informed decisions during pregnancy.
