Join us tomorrow as Center Director Dr. Cynthia Baur co-moderates a panel titled "Health Misinformation: Causes and Consequences for Public Health Research and Action" as part of the Public Health Research at Maryland program.

This panel examines why and how public misinformation is affecting hotly-debated public health issues, such as COVID-19 mitigation, vaccination rates and e-cigarette and medical marijuana use. The panel will also consider tools and methods to identify misinformation for a wide range of public health topics. Panelists will discuss causes of misinformation, how misinformation has affected public policies, programs and opinions, and actions to counter misinformation and provide accurate information.
