Instructions:
Choose a subject and identify 3 sources of reliable information available in an online format. You will need to look at journals and other web based sources of information.
The subject that I chose was prostate cancer.  I did a Google search of prostate cancer and found three sources of reliable information in about 5 minutes.  The wedsites are; www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov, www.pcf.org/ and www.mayoclinic.com/health/prostate-cancer/DS00043/. Finding research articles took a little longer than five minutes but not longer than 20 minutes.  Looking for research articles took longer because I had to go into the web sites and try to discern if the information was reliable and relevant.  The following two web sites contain journal articles; prostate.jco.org/ and jnci.oxfordjournals.org/content/early/2011/05/.../jnci.djr151.abstrac.

How difficult was it for you to locate this information?
I found all this information in less than 20 minutes but I have not had the time to go through all this information.
 
How did you determine if the information was reliable and valid?
 The information is reliable because two of the web sites are .gov, meaning that they are from the government, one web site is the Mayo clinic ( a trusted hospital in the U.S.).
If you did not have the health care background that you have would you have been able to locate these sources?
