Trusted voices: Confronting health misinformation in marginalized communities

Health misinformation is a growing challenge, as social media has become a primary source of information for many people, and influential voices are casting doubt on established medical practices.

Trusted health sources are becoming harder to find, especially in communities of color where access to care is already limited and systemic barriers persist.
