Health misinformation and disinformation: How to avoid it
In the age of viral content and fast and furious social media communication, health disinformation and misinformation are spreading more widely than ever. Why is this the case, and how can we learn to spot inaccurate and even malicious health information? Why do we fall so easily for false health info, and how can we update our mistaken beliefs? These are some of the questions we answer in this episode, with the help of our special guests, Prof. Stephan Lewandowsky, Chair in Cognitive Psychology at the School of Psychological Science, University of Bristol, United Kingdom, and Dr. Jenny Yu, MD, FACS, Chief Health Officer at RVO Health, the parent company of Medical News Today and Healthline.
In Conversation is a Healthline Media original podcast. This episode was produced by Flamingo Media for Medical News Today.
