The current study differs from previous studies by focusing on the topic of health, comparing the evaluations of users against experts. Three groups of participants \u2013 librarians, nurses, and users of Yahoo! Answers \u2013 were invited to assess the quality of health answers posted in Yahoo! Answers. Forty participants from each group reviewed a total of 400 health answers, rating them with a 5\u2010points Likert scale according to 10 evaluation criteria: accuracy, <jats:italic>completeness, relevance, objectivity, source credibility, readability, politeness, confidence, knowledge<\/jats:italic>, and <jats:italic>efforts<\/jats:italic>. Findings indicated that there was no significant difference of the quality ratings between librarians and nurses. There was, however, significant difference between those two expert groups (librarians and nurses) and users. Librarians and nurses rated the quality of answers lower on most of the evaluation criteria than users. This research will help librarians and nurses better understand how laypeople, such as their patrons and patients, evaluate online health information in social contexts, leading to the offering of better health information services to these audiences.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/meet.14504901075","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,1,24]],"date-time":"2013-01-24T10:49:23Z","timestamp":1359024563000},"page":"1-6","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Quality of health answers in social Q&amp;A"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"49","author":[{"given":"Sanghee","family":"Oh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Yong Jeong","family":"Yi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Adam","family":"Worrall","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,1,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","unstructured":"Ambre J.
