From a resource to usable evidence

Match health information to the right question

A population indicator, clinical recommendation and reimbursement procedure have different purposes. Identify the author, audience and document type before deciding what a health resource implies.

Separate the record, abstract and full text

PubMed helps locate references; its record and the complete article are different objects.

A question to resolve: An abstract reports a result without detailing every inclusion criterion. What is missing?

A record worth keeping

Separate established findings, hypotheses, general guidance and individual decisions in your notes. Bring useful references to a qualified professional for questions about symptoms or treatment.

Identify the purpose of health information

A search may lead to an article, recommendation, product information or administrative procedure. Establish what you need before interpreting the result.

  1. Choose the document

    Distinguish public information, professional guidance and administrative formalities.

  2. Identify the reference

    Keep organisation, title, date and version. For a product, check its exact name and presentation.

  3. Read the scope

    Review covered situations, limitations and linked information. Prepare questions for the professional familiar with your circumstances.

Useful output

An exact reference and question list rather than a conclusion based on an isolated excerpt.

General documentation alone cannot establish a decision appropriate to an individual.

Does a national statistic describe my individual risk?

It describes a population under a particular method. Your age, context and circumstances may differ; do not treat it as a diagnosis.

Does disagreement between pages make one false?

Compare dates, audiences and study conditions. Scope may explain differences; seek qualified advice for care decisions.

Does a national overview confirm local access?

No. Check contact, timing and conditions with the relevant organisation.

Which website for which need?

Four concrete starting points.

These resources answer different questions. Match one to your task, then make the suggested check before relying on its result.

Similar names, different purposes

Choose by the document or action you need.

These comparisons show when two resources in the same subject answer different questions.

Care recommendation or reimbursement right?

The French health authority publishes care guidance and assessments; ameli explains health insurance procedures. Neither replaces individual medical advice or a decision on a personal claim.

Population indicator or personal record?

Santé publique France tracks population trends. Mon espace santé provides access to personal records according to account permissions. A national average cannot determine an individual's situation.

From a category
to the right destination.

The portal gives you context before the external click. Current conditions and sensitive instructions must still be confirmed with the destination publisher.

  1. 01
    Choose a subject

    Start with the category that matches your practical need rather than the name of a platform.

  2. 02
    Read the record

    Use the publisher, description, country and topic tags to understand what the resource covers.

  3. 03
    Check the destination

    Confirm that the external domain matches the publisher and service you intended to reach.

  4. 04
    Verify changing details

    Review current dates, prices, availability, terms and sensitive instructions on the destination website.

Useful scope.
Clear limits.

What is included in the World Web Certified directory?

The directory contains 232 useful starting-point websites across 13 subjects, including public services, health, education, media, culture, search, digital tools, travel, consumer information, science and sport.

Are directory entries certifications or rankings?

No. Inclusion is an editorial orientation choice, not a technical certification, commercial ranking or guarantee covering every page and service on the external website.

Are the individual records available in English?

Yes. Every directory record has an English page with a description, publisher, official destination, a specific use case and practical checks. Use the language menu to open its French counterpart.

How should I verify an important destination?

Check the domain, publisher and purpose described in the record, then confirm current terms, dates and sensitive information on the destination website before acting.

How can I report an error in a record?

Use the Contact page and provide the relevant URL, the inaccurate passage and a supporting source when possible.
