Real World Consequences: Mitigating Health Misinformation

Health misinformation has real-world and sometimes tragic consequences. The coronavirus pandemic underscored the importance of knowing which health information resources to trust. This is true not only during a world health crisis but also in the day-to-day need many people have for evidence-based health information to make important personal or family healthcare decisions. When it comes to health information, there is a lot of noise out there but there is also help. This presentation by staff of the Network of the National Library of Medicine defines health misinformation, shares keys to identifying evidence-based health resources; and highlights helpful evidence-based health websites/resources for public libraries.
