Debunk, Inform, Avoid?

International Public Policy Observatory (IPPO)

When might debunking be effective in communications aimed at countering vaccine-related misinformation?

This event will launch our rapid review of evidence for when debunking is likely to be an effective way of responding to misinformation about vaccines. The demand for this work came from initial discussions with public health communicators and policymakers, who wanted to better understand how research evidence can be used to inform communications strategies aimed at tackling vaccine-related misinformation in digital and physical environments. Our discussion will be chaired by Matthew Flinders, Director of the Sir Bernard Crick Centre for the Public Understanding of Politics at the University of Sheffield, with contributions from Abigail Emery, Head of the Cabinet Office Behavioural Science Team, and Jeremy Williams, IPPO, who is currently leading our parallel work focused on how policymakers can best learn from social sciences research to inform their handling of mpox.T﻿here will be an opportunity to hear from the report&#x27;s authors and join an open discussion on the review&#x27;s implications for policy, practice, and further research.
