You do not have to look far for answers!

In continuing with my evaluation of websites run by educational institutions, I looked no further than the University of Virginia Health System. I arrived to this site after a preliminary search for "ovarian cancer" using Google. The page I was directed to fell under the category of "gynecological health" and was laid out in a simple question and answer format. The questions start off very basic by defining what ovaries are and then going into more depth about the diseases, its causes, risk factors, prevention measures, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment. In short, the website is thorough yet concise in its overview of ovarian cancer, covering the majority of topics/questions that are frequently posed by patients. I found the layout of the website to be similar to that of an electronic encyclopedia. This page on ovarian cancer contained a diagram of the female reproductive system, as well as links to a glossary, additional online resourcs, and a site index. This website addresses numerous health issues, the popular topics such as breast health, diabetes health, heart health, and more generic health issues specific to gender, among other topics, are easily found at the top of web page, allowing the user to easily navigate from topic to topic. The University of Virginia is a legitimate institution, therefore one can safely trust the information presented on this site. I give this site a rating of 9 for its practical question and answer approach to discussing a health topic and its understanding of patient needs as seen with the website's attentive display of popular health topics.
