Managing the Health Infodemic: Getting Started

This webinar is Part 5 of the webinar series, Facts or Fakes? Promoting Health Literacy Skills with Your Students

This presentation will define the health infodemic, offer examples, and guide participants in identifying a relevant health infodemic topic among a sub-group of their students and a plan for how to address it.

About the Facts or Fakes webinar series:
Rapidly evolving evidence and changing guidance, as well as rampant and politicized misinformation and disinformation during the COVID-19 pandemic pose challenges for health literacy, including mental health literacy. It is unknown how many students are familiar with these concepts nor how many campus personnel, including college health professionals and mental health providers, are familiar with current techniques and strategies for teaching students about digital health literacy.
