I gave a talk to the Philippine national and subnational health promotion officers on why investing in infodemic management contributes to the prevention strategies in health.
I talk about:
- turning focus on questions, concerns and information voids as precursors to misinformation, and this allows us to pe proactive in resilience building
- how infodemic management can provide rapid insights on how to build trust
- consequences of skewed investments and concurrent costs of the infodemic are affecting all countries, but especially low and middle income ones
- how infodemic insights can detect potentially harmful narratives and suggest solutions to mitigate them
- infodemic interventions across levels of society and pressure points
- the need for health authorities to build new partnerships to enable effective infodemic management
- considerations for different operating environments
