We break down how to differentiate between reliable health information and the misleading content that floods social media and the internet.

Dr. Voorhees, a researcher in interpersonal health communication, shares her expertise on how people talk about illness, the impact of chronic illness identity, and the dangers of false health claims. She provides practical tools to help you think critically about health-related content, question sources effectively, and avoid falling for deceptive marketing tactics.
