Responses suggested that the mothers liked the Web site format best. They paid more attention to information presented on the Web site and understood it better. They were also more likely to say they would go back to the Web site for nutrition information, compared to the video game or pamphlet. "Nutrition literacy" scores were higher for women who viewed the Web site. On follow-up testing two weeks later, mothers assigned to the Web site were no more likely to retain the information than those who saw the other two formats.
and as a web-user, i agree. i can't count the number of times i made google searches instead of consulting a doc. however, one must be careful. you have to choose and scrutinize the websites you land on and be able to discern bogus from scientifically-sound information. there are many websites out there containing dubious information, so watch out!
