作者：
Highlights：
• Strategies to improve consumers' ability to evaluate online information are needed.
• Recommendations about established criteria positively affect credibility evaluation.
• Adding warnings against non-established criteria does not improve evaluation.
• Recommendations only work for high health literate consumers.
• Future research should find viable ways to reach low health literate consumers.
