This course from the Stanford Center for Health Education (SCHE) provides you with an overview of the health information ecosystem and outlines strategies to navigate it.
You’ll discover how to identify elements of the health information ecosystem and the sources of health news. You’ll also examine the impact of virality on the spread of health information, misinformation, and disinformation; learn how to identify and engage with credible and false information; and unpack ways to craft messages that counter information disorder.
Finally, by exploring practical strategies and communication styles for conducting difficult conversations, you’ll be better prepared to engage with bad news, negotiate changing mindsets, and give and receive feedback.
