Abstract:

This study analyzed the quality of information published on the internet about 4 benzodiazepines widely used in Brazil: alprazolam, bromazepam, clonazepam and diazepam. This choice is justified by the fact that these drugs be widely used, can generate chemical dependency and the internet is an important source of information about them. We analyzed 20 sites for each drug. More than half (56.3%) of the sites were classified as disabled or very disabled. The most frequent problems were the absence of a description of the person responsible for the site (60%), incomplete information (62.5%), absence of the contact for additional information (45%) and of the last update date (82%). The results reinforce the concern about the quality of health information published on the Internet, already pointed out in the literature, and the need to adopt minimum quality criteria for this information.
