We will consider Wikipedia as a communication channel for distributing health information. The lecture will cover the quality and popularity of Wikipedia's health content, how it competes for attention with other similar sources of information, and how anyone may influence the content in Wikipedia. Participants in this project will reflect on the quality of a Wikipedia article of their choice, contribute health information to it, and note what response the Wikipedia community makes to their contribution.

Lane Rasberry, Wikipedian-in-residence at Consumer Reports, is presenting. Consumer Reports is a nonprofit organization which, among other projects, seeks to increase access to the health information which informs health care decisions.
