Brief description of study
Join a paid research study on health information on social media!
The research study is being conducted to understand how health information and misinformation is shared and interacted with through Facebook wall posts, Twitter posts, and Google and YouTube searches. We’re interested in learning more about how people use information on social media and what people find the most interesting and useful.
Why is my digital data important for this study?
Online activities can improve our understanding of health and wellbeing. Your participation could help us understand how digital data can be used to tailor public health messaging.
