HON is the gold standard site for investigating the reliability of health information found on the Internet.HON does not contain health information of its own but rather evaluates other websites for reliability.HON is not a telehealth site where people can obtain health care consultations.There are computer programs and websites that can determine the reading level of various materials, but HON is not one of them.
