Apparently credible websites may be inaccurate
Apparently credible websites may not necessarily provide higher levels
of accurate health information. Of 121 websites that provided
information on five common health topics, three credibility features
source, currency, and evidence hierarchyhave only slight or
at best moderate correlation with accuracy of information. Kunst and
colleagues (p 581) suggest that apparently credible websites may not
necessarily provide higher levels of accurate health
information.
