How -to evaluate
health information
In
a high-tech world
"I can‘t understand what you are
saying," the female voice said.
I was listening to music as I drove
in unfamiliar territory. I thought a
radio announcer was commenting to
a guest.
“1 can't understand what you are
saying," the voice said again.
“I'm not saying anything," I
replied automatically, slightly star-
tled.
Was my phone talking to me? My
phone has a voice—activated system.
I reached over and noted it was
turned off and in my purse.
My heart beat a little faster. I was—
n't sure where I was, and some lady
was talking to me from an unknown
location in my vehicle.
On the third time I heard the
voice, I figured out my portable GPS
system was getting signals from the
radio.
I knew my new GPS unit could.
tell me where to turn or to "turn
around when possible" when I failed
to follow directions. However, I was-
n't expecting it to have a conversa-
tion with me.
On that day, my GPS directed me
down a gravel road when paved
roads were nearby.
I didn’t always trust it, but I
needed the advice.
When I turned off the radio, the
GPS stopped making comments and
just told me where to turn.
Sometimes, I miss paper maps,
including the process of folding them
back together.
We are surrounded by technology
of all kinds. With my phone and
portable GPS navigation unit, I prob-
ably had more technology in my ve-
hicle than astronauts had on the
original voyage to the moon.
Technology plays a key role in
moving information around society,
and most of us get our information in
several ways. Where are you reading
this column? Some of you might be
reading an email, others might read
it in the newspaper, while others
might find it on a website or shared
through social media.
, , Many people use textmessaging
to communicate with friends and
family, and they might use email at
work and social media such as Face-
book, Twitter, Instagram or Snapchat
to communicate with family and
friends.
About two out of three people get
news on social media, but people are
skeptical of what they read, accord—
ing to the Pew Research Center.
Facebook, YouTube and Twitter are
the most commonly used social
media sites.
However, according to the 2018
Jullo Garden-Robinson
Food 3. Nutrition Specialist
Pew report, 57% expect the news on
social media to be mainly inaccurate.
We put up with some false infor—
mation because we like convenience.
Even though some information com—
ing at us is wrong or misleading, we
like the quick access.
With so much information avail-
able, we need some tools to help us
decide its accuracy. California State
University at Chico provided an
easy—to—remember acronym.
Their tool is called the "CRAAP
Test," and you can pronounce it how-
ever you'd like. Remember this tool
as you decide what information you
can and cannot trust.
1) "Currency" refers to the timeli-
ness of the information. When was it
created or posted? Has it been re-
vised or updated?
2) "Relevance" is the importance
of the information. Who is the audi-
ence? Is it written at the right level?
Have you looked for other sources of
information?
3) "Authority" means the source
of the information. Who is the au-
thor? What are the author's creden-
tials? Is the author qualified to write
on the topic? Is a publisher or edito-
rial board listed? Is the information
posted on a website with .com in its
web address? The last three letters at
the end of a website URL can give us
a clue to accuracy. Usually .com
refers to a commercial site, which
might be trying to sell you some-
thing. A .gov site is a government
site, while a .edu site usually indi—
cates an educational site, often a uni-
versity.
4) "Accuracy" refers to the truth-
fulness of the content. Was the infor—
mation reviewed or refereed, or is it
a personal opinion? Is it written well
in terms of grammar or spelling?
5) "Purpose" means the reason the
information exists. Is it trying to sell
. you something, entertain you, teach
you or persuade you? Is the informa-
tion objective?
As you interact with information
from a variety of sources look for re-
liability and trustworthiness, espe-
cially if you are seeking information
that could affect your health. .

“If you paint your kitchen cabinets,
be sure that you label each door and
drawer exactly where it goes. It can
be really hard to figure it out, and the
holes might not line up perfectly. Also,
save hardware in baggies to keep it all
together.”—R.U. in Montana
- To create a fun cake stand, glue a
10-inch terra cotta saucer to the bot-
tom of a 4-inch terra cotta flowerpot.
Paint and seal the whole thing. When
you flip it over, the bottom of the sau-
cer becomes the cake plate. So neat!
“To clean the outsides of our win—
dows, we mixed vinegar and hot water
and added a couple drops of dish soap.
Then I used a microfiber cloth to scrub
the window and its surrounding cas—
ing. We rinsed them with the hose and
used the squeegee I keep in my car
to get the water drops off. They look
great! " —— Y.D. in Arkansas
Wash your reusable shopping bags
from time to time, either in the wash-
ing machine on the delicate cycle or
hand wash in the sink. Hang to dry.
- How much money should you
have in an emergency cash fund?
Experts say that at a minimum, you
should have three months’ worth of
necessary expenses (home payment,
utilities, food and gas, minimum debt
payments, etc.) in an accessible form.
This means you can’t count the value
of assets or stocks you own, nor any
retirement funds. This sounds hard
because it is, but it could make the dif—
ference between success or failure in
an emergency.
0 “I purchase a big pack of bottled
water at my discount club. I keep it in
the trunk, and it seems there are always
opportunities for a bottle. I keep a few
in a lunch tote, which actually keeps
them cool in the hot car, even without
an ice pack.”-—C.L. in Maryland
