Principal Findings
We found that the median quality score was significantly lower in the web group than in the EVInews group. Additionally, the variability of median quality scores in the web group was significantly larger and less participants completed the search task fully compared to the EVInews group. Web-based sources often did not meet standard quality requirements. The time needed for the search task completion did not reveal any considerable differences between the 2 groups. The data suggest that community pharmacists struggled to find web-based high-quality, evidence-based information sources for self-medication under everyday practice conditions.
