In the Netherlands, as a reason for stimulating what they refer to as e-Health, the Government ran a study among patients of various types and found that an overwhelming majority Google the diagnosis given them by their doctors.
Yes, I was going to mention that in response to Lane's proposed wording.
It's probably somewhat misleading (from the typical web reader's point of view) to say:
"Wikipedia has become the single most popular source of health information in the world"
Even if Wikipedia is highest in page views, I feel search engines should be mentioned to provide a realistic picture.
E.g.
"Search engines increasingly lead people to Wikipedia, which is one of the factors in making Wikipedia the single highest traffic source of health information in the world."
Exact wording is up to you, but think it's worth a mention.
Speaking just for myself, not on behalf of the Foundation.
