New in JMIR: Defining Misinformation and Related Terms in Health-Related Literature: Scoping Review https://t.co/wE0qrutToy

Conclusion: Additional research is needed to reach a consensus around clear and operational definitions of misinformation and related terms in order to more effectively study how misinformation affects health policies and research. 🧵8/8

Conclusion: Health practitioners need to exert caution before labeling a piece of information as misinformation or any other related term and only do so after ascertaining accurateness and sometimes intentionality. 🧵7/8

Discussion: The definitions of misinformation and related terms in the health literature are only 1 part of the extant literature. Within this literature, definitions were inconstanct and variabe and included concepts like “intentional” which are difficult to operationalize 🧵6/8

Results: "False/inaccurate/incorrect" was in 15/20 definitions of misinformation, 13/19 for disinformation, 5/10 for fake news, 6/24 for infodemic, and 0/2 for malinformation. Infodemic -> 19/24 as “information overload” and malinformation -> “accurate", "wrong context"🧵 5/8

Results: 41 systematic reviews were eligible, out of which 32 (78%) addressed public health emergencies (including COVID-19) and contained 75 definitions: 20 for misinformation, 19 for disinformation, 10 for fake news, 24 for infodemic, and 2 for malinformation. 🧵4/8

Methods: We searched Ovid MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane, and Epistemonikos for articles published within the last 5 years. We included systematic reviews about misinformation with at least 1 reported definition. We then analyzed and mapped the content. 🧵 3/8

Background: Misinformation poses a serious challenge to clinical and policy decision-making in the health field, which was amplified by the COVID-19 pandemic. Adequately defining misinformation protects from mislabeling any false information as such. 🧵 2/8

What is misinformation? How does it differ from disinformation, fake news, infodemic, malinformation? We answer that question in a scoping review of health literature. 🧵1/8 @Reem_Hoteit @twpiggott @Reem_A_Mustafa @Elie__Akl @TarekHarbMD @olazein3 @jmelki
