As consumers and patients increasingly use social media as a health care tool and resource, a survey by Harvard University, Brigham and Women's Hospital and CVS Caremark (NYSE: CVS) researchers demonstrates that there is great variability in the standards used to ensure sites effectively provide information and answers to important health-related questions.
When people with diabetes are picking a place to connect to other patients online, they have a lot of choices to make -- including whether there's a doctor available to answer questions, and who reviews the website's content, researchers reported today.
There's also the question of who funds each diabetes discussion site, and what companies are allowed to advertise on them.
A new study of 15 of those social networking sites found that many have different approaches to both funding issues and involvement of site administrators and doctors.
