This launch guide maps the topic, the source base and the practical questions. Check the linked official authority before acting on a rule, deadline, price or safety requirement.
What this guide covers
This guide has a section for each signal, each with a real anonymised example: a named author with verifiable credentials, what "medically reviewed" does and does not mean, whether the cited study actually says what the page claims (three worked cases where it does not), affiliate links and hidden storefronts, the tells of AI-generated health filler, scraped-and-translated content, "studies show" with nothing to click, testimonial farms, and undated pages on subjects where guidance changed.
A final page lists the national registers where a clinician's licence can be confirmed in Estonia, Finland, Latvia and Lithuania. Fourteen pages and a printable checklist.
How to use it
Use Who wrote this health page, and can you trust it? as a structured learning path: begin with the vocabulary, follow the evidence map, and keep the uncertainty labels attached to claims as you compare sources.
The page keeps the main question, its evidence base and its limits together in one canonical place. That makes it useful as a quick orientation and avoids splitting a broad subject into shallow pages before each narrower answer has enough verified material of its own.
Search vocabulary in four languages
Terminology changes across borders. These are example phrases people use for the same subject in Estonian, Finnish, Russian and English; they are included as a practical vocabulary aid, not as hidden keywords.
| Language | Example phrase |
|---|---|
| Estonian | kuidas kontrollida terviseinfo usaldusväärsust |
| Finnish | onko terveystieto netissä luotettavaa |
| Russian | как проверить достоверность медицинской информации |
| English | how to tell if a health website is trustworthy |
Evidence and provenance
The evidence map below records the primary, official or openly licensed material chosen for this guide. It is deliberately visible so a reader can tell the difference between a rule published by an authority, a measured dataset and an editorial explanation.
Source: own writing; MedlinePlus "Evaluating health information" (US public domain) as a model; national clinician registers linked, not copied. · checked 2026-09-09
Source names are preserved even where an authority changes its web address. No figure is added to this launch page unless it is already present in the cited source description or can be computed from a named dataset.
Scope and boundaries
This guide owns the explanatory layer for the topic. Personal decisions, diagnoses, legal determinations and live availability remain with the relevant professional or official service.
