aJAMA comparisons denote raw percentages comparing the relative contribution by affiliation type within each JAMA benchmark.

bHON comparison denotes column contribution by affiliation type across levels of HON scores.

cHigh-quality WBHI denotes a WBHI resource that satisfied at least 3 of the JAMA benchmarks, had a HON score >75, and had an overall DISCERN score ≥3; otherwise, a resource was labeled as low-quality.
