Description

Dr. Leticia Bode, Associate Professor at Georgetown University, discusses her research on social media and health misinformation correction. We break down several experiments that test the effectiveness of digital misinformation correction in the context of the Zika virus. We also talk about what the findings might mean for public health organizations' social media strategy in times of crisis. Towards the end, we also look at some of Dr. Bode's ongoing research investigating the coronavirus conversation on Twitter. The studies we discuss in this episode are:See Something, Say Something: Correction of Global Health Misinformation on Social MediaI Do Not Believe You: How Providing a Source Corrects Health Misperceptions on Social MediaA First Look at COVID-19 Information and Misinformation Sharing on Twitter
