How to Counter Public Health Myths and Elevate Science Now

December 5, 2024 · 1:00 PM– ET

Event Format: Webinar
Location: Online
Issues: Health

This conversation explored why purveyors of myths and misrepresentations have gained traction in American culture, and which tested framing strategies can effectively push back.

Topics covered are:

  • the public mindsets that leave people vulnerable to misinformation about fluoride, vaccination, food additives, and more;
  • communications traps that leave voices for public health more vulnerable to politicized attacks and erosion of trust; and
  • the most important framing strategies for dampening disinformation, reducing polarization, rebuilding trust, and elevating science.
