Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that schizophrenia affects roughly 1 in 300 people worldwide, according to the World Health Organization?

Yes. Two peer-reviewed items explicitly attribute to the World Health Organization the figure of about 24 million people, or roughly 1 in 300, living with schizophrenia, matching the claim; a clinic page repeats the 1 in 300 figure without the WHO attribution, while two other papers cite about 21 million instead.
