Young people and health: the battle against infomercials

7th edition of Health Prevention Meetings

7th of Meetings Prev Santé

Replay of the 7th of Health Prevention Meetings on fake news in healthcare...

 

Two one-hour round tables brought together renowned experts. They discussed the dangers of misinformation, and presented some remarkable initiatives. 

HPV only affects girls, HIV can be transmitted by a mosquito bite, chloroquine is an effective treatment for Covid... Young people seem particularly vulnerable to this false information, questioning scientifically established facts.

 Faced with this reality, Ramsay Sante Foundation, committed to health prevention for young people, wanted to understand the reasons for this heightened sensitivity, find out where they go to look for information about their health, assess their propensity to check sources, and determine their level of education in critical thinking. The aim was to come up with answers for developing effective prevention.
