The increased spread of misinformation has hampered public health practice, contributing to the erosion of public trust in science, in addition to threatening both individual and community health and well-being. To effectively mitigate the harms caused by misinformation, multidisciplinary social and behavioral science is needed. NCI Program Director Dr. Chou will provide an overview of existing research on health misinformation that is relevant to cancer prevention and control, identify promising approaches and collaborative opportunities to understand and adapt to the evolving social and communication landscape, and discuss the NIH’s interests in supporting cutting-edge health communication science for diverse populations.
