What does reliable information look like?     In our latest research brief, we asked fertility patients across the UK how they research add-ons.     We discovered that patients often rely on multiple sources of information including search engines (87.8%), clinic websites (75.4%) social networks (53.1%).     However, their trust in these sources varies significantly.     While most respondents deemed fertility clinic website reliable, only a quarter (26.3%) considered social networks as a reliable source of info.    Discover all the findings here https://lnkd.in/ebFBrSNd
