Ever feel like you're swimming against a current of health misinformation? Join us, Katie and Sydney, in the kickoff episode of "Fact Check Your Health" where we set the stage for the series, focusing on how to find reliable health information and determine how credible a source may be. In a world where anyone can be a "health expert", we break down how to critically examine the qualifications of the information you see online.
In this episode, we take you through practical strategies for determining the accuracy of health claims you see on social media and beyond. By going through examples of how to effectively use websites like PubMed and Google Scholar, we hope to empower you to be able to independently verify health information and equip you with the tools to navigate and fact-check health information in a world full of both knowledge and noise.
