The Mesothelioma and Asbestos Awareness (www.maacenter.org) was recently accredited by the Health on the Net (HON) foundation as being in compliance with HONcode principles for trustworthy and reliable health information on the web.
The HONcode was created in response to the lack of guaranteed quality health information on the Internet. To combat this, HON developed a code of conduct predicated on eight essential ethical, quality, and accessibility principles. As an independent watchdog organization, HON is able to grant HONcode seal of approval to websites they find to be worthy. All HONcode accredited sites are reviewed by HON staff to ensure compliance with their eight essential principles.
This important designation brings further credibility to the Mesothelioma and Asbestos Awareness Center, which is widely regarded as the web’s leading resource for information concerning mesothelioma and asbestos-related health complications, including advancements in thoracic cancer and clinical oncology.
The Mesothelioma and Asbestos Awareness Center is among the first web resources of its kind to receive this significant accreditation.
We, the editorial staff of the Mesothelioma and Asbestos Awareness Center credit the Health on the Net Foundation as well as the commitment of other HONcode accredited web resources for their dedication to improving the credibility and accuracy of health information on the internet.
