Many people look up health information online before talking to a clinician. Online health information can vary, from sources written by doctors to information shared by anyone who owns a device. In this class, Digital Navigators will teach about how to tell good sources of information from bad ones, including how to spot health fraud scams and bring information you find online to an appointment with your doctor.
This class will be delivered by a DOORS program instructor. To learn more about the DOORS program please go to: https://www.digitalpsych.org/doors-program.html
