Finding Trusted Resources

Finding Trusted Resources

We all want to be informed advocates for our children’s health.

As a result, parents often turn to the internet, television, media, celebrities, peers, and experts for information. The trouble is, it can be difficult to decide what information to trust, and from whom. Which sources tell the truth? Which provides reliable, factual, research-based data?

We know that finding resources you can trust can be confusing, and some sources can plant seeds of doubt. We also understand that you are not a statistic. You are a parent looking to make the best choice for your child’s health.

Our website presents up-to-date, well-studied information that will prepare you to make a confident, informed decision about vaccines for your child’s health. We work to address your top concerns and help you get to the facts about childhood vaccinations so you can be confident in your choice to immunize your child.

If you’re looking for more information, these tips below can help you find trusted resources.

Here are some questions to ask about a website. If it is hard to find the answers, this may be a sign the source is not trustworthy.

Who is the author of the website?

Are they knowledgeable about vaccines? Do they have the education and experience to speak on the subject with authority? You can always do a quick Google search on them to learn more, but be wary of those who are not experts in the field of immunology.

When was the website published or updated?

Especially in vaccine research, it is imperative that the information on the website is current and accurate. New vaccine information, findings, and discoveries are constantly being published. Make sure you are reading the most current research and data.

Why did the author create the website?

If the author wrote the website to convince readers of something, it may be biased. You can double check the information against other trustworthy sources to make sure it is accurate. It's never a bad idea to check a second source.

Where was the website published?

You can look for an “about us” tab to learn who is behind the information and what their purpose is. Make sure it is not a source like Wikipedia that lets people publish whatever they want.

Is the information on the website professional and clear?

If it has spelling errors or doesn’t make sense when you read it, the website may not be trustworthy.

Is there a profit or other bias?

Is the website selling or promoting a product? Does the website take a stand on an issue without being clear that they are an advocacy website? Is the information presented in a manipulative or emotional way? Bias is not necessarily bad, but it should be stated clearly and with intent.

Who are the organization’s sponsors, what other websites do they support?

Click around and see what the website is endorsing and linking to as credible sources. Also look for sponsors on the website as these are a strong indicator of what organizations agree with the organization’s mission.

What if I have more questions?

If you are still unsure of a website's credibility, send them a note asking them to send you more information. You can also search for more information about a topic on fact-checking websites like FactCheck.org or Duke University’s Reporters’ Lab.
