Abstract
High school and graduate students were discovered using Google and Wikipedia for health information. The Morehouse School of Medicine (MSM) Library developed a plan (UnHID) to instruct students and faculty regarding the use of National Library of Medicine databases as resources for trusted consumer health information and how to evaluate Web sites. Attendees were pretested and posttested to assess what resources they would use. MedlinePlus received the highest use after the workshops and was most often cited for future school and personal use. Household Products, AIDSInfo, and Clinical Trials were frequently noted for future use. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
