New Health Care Infodemiology Brief Now Available from The ABIM Foundation and The Public Good Projects
July 18, 2023
To help clinicians better understand trending health narratives and debunk false claims to which their patients may have been exposed, the Public Good Projects (PGP), with support from the ABIM Foundation, has launched a new resource. The Health Care Infodemiology Brief will examine COVID-19, vaccines, and other topics that are the subjects of most false claims found on social media and online.
Each month PGP will alert health care clinicians to trending high-risk misinformation and provide succinct evidence-based talking points for them to use with patients to discredit medical myths. Shareable social media assets related to key messages as well as supporting research and sources for all listed facts will also be included. Additional topics will be added to the emails as concerning narratives evolve.
The Health Care Infodemiology Brief will be shared with members of clinical organizations who can use the information to guide their conversations with patients.
