Discussing experience with health misinformation

USC_Research_Lead profile image

Have you or a loved one been affected by digital health misinformation? Health misinformation is false or misleading health information or advice that you hear or see online. That could be on the internet, social media, blogs, YouTube, etc.

A research study out of the USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism is recruiting 50 participants for one-on-one Zoom interviews on health misinformation. The 45-minute interview seeks to better understand your experiences with health misinformation and collect any ideas you might have for making the experience of finding or trusting health information better for you, your loved ones or future generations. For example, do you regularly feel unsure whether to trust health information you see online? Have you followed the advice of something you saw online and regretted it or found it very helpful? Perhaps you use digital health information to make health decisions for yourself, your kids or your elderly parents and you have ideas about what would make the experience better or easier for you or others.

Participants are compensated. To be eligible, participants should be adults residing in the United States who are between the ages of 24 and 55 and comfortable reading and writing in English. Interviews will be conducted by the study's Research Lead (a USC researcher and lecturer) and will take place in person in Los Angeles OR on Zoom for participants outside LA or unable to meet in person. Interview dates and times will be coordinated with the participant to best fit their schedule.
