Vaccine myth agreement among 454 parents of 0-5 year olds (in Australia) reduced by posing headlines about 3 childhood vaccination myths as questions (v. control). Not much agreement change detected by just repeating or correcting the myth (v. control).

@m4changeco FYI, there was a recent study that came out that shows the opposite, which is worth checking out. Perhaps there are contexts in which the myth-fact format is effective. https://t.co/6am4TObhAk

More evidence that mythbusting health info doesn't cut it. The days of myth/fact are over. Just lazy and non-evidence based comms otherwise. Hopefully mainstream our media and journalists will stop using this approach too.

Good read on addressing misinformation about childhood vaccination with evidence on the effectiveness of various debunking strategies & how different text-based debunking strategies affect parents’ agreement with vaccination myths and their intention

This research challenges previous studies and says that in fact, it's okay to use the myth/fact format to debunk misinformation. Truth is, I do like that format for conveying info, but avoid it because of research that said it can backfire by reinforcing m
