Most adults who use social media perceive some (46%) or a lot (36%) of false or misleading health information on social media, but nearly one-fifth reported either none or a little (18%). More than two-thirds of participants reported that they were unable to assess social media information as true or false (67%). Our study identified certain population groups that might be a focus of future intervention work, such as participants who use social media to make decisions. The perception by social media users that false and misleading health information on social media is highly prevalent may lend greater urgency to mitigate the spread of false or misleading health information that harms public health.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/haschl\/qxad050","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,25]],"date-time":"2023-09-25T14:13:06Z","timestamp":1695651186000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":30,"title":["Social media users\u2019 perceptions about health mis- and disinformation on social media"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"1","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1266-9436","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jim P","family":"Stimpson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Peter O\u2019Donnell Jr. School of Public Health, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center , Dallas, TX 75390 , United States"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6861-6993","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alexander N","family":"Ortega","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Thompson School of Social Work and Public Health, University of Hawai\u02bbi at M\u0101noa , Honolulu, HI 96822 , United States"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,26]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"2023101208184062900_qxad050-B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"98","DOI":"10.1177\/00027162221084709","article-title":"Defining and measuring scientific misinformation","volume":"700","author":"Southwell","year":"2022","journal-title":"Ann Am Acad Political Social Sci"},{"key":"2023101208184062900_qxad050-B2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"115398","DOI":"10.1016\/j.socscimed.2022.115398","article-title":"Why do people believe health misinformation and who is at risk?
