DESCRIPTION:   'Title: Examining the urgency of gendered health misinformat
 ion online\n   through three case studies\n   When: Saturday\, Aug 13\, 13
 :15 - 14:15 PDT\n   Where: Caesars Forum - Summit 220->236 (Misinformation
  Village) - [1]Map\n\n   SpeakerBio:Jenna Sherman\n   Jenna Sherman\, MPH\
 , is a Program Manager for Meedan’s Digital Health\n   Lab\, an initiati
 ve focused on addressing the urgent challenges around\n   health informati
 on equity online. She has her MPH from the Harvard\n   T.H. Chan School of
  Public Health in Social and Behavioral Sciences\,\n   with a concentratio
 n in Maternal and Child Health and a focus on\n   social epidemiology. Her
  work on gendered health misinformation has\n   been featured in publicati
 ons including Scientific American\, The\n   Washington Post\, and Al Jazee
 ra.\n\n   Description:\n   At Meedan\, we define gendered misinformation a
 s the unintentional\n   spread of false or substandard information that is
  about women\, trans\n   people\, or nonbinary people. This session narrow
 s in on gendered\n   health misinformation\, with a focus on misinformatio
 n surrounding\n   three topics: 1) pregnancy and infant care\, 2) gender-a
 ffirming care\,\n   and 3) abortion.\n\n   Platforms have understandably b
 een focused on COVID-19 misinformation.\n   However\, they continue to fal
 l short on other types of health\n   misinformation\, particularly content
  that most negatively impacts\n   people with marginalized gender identiti
 es.\n\n   Research shows that the vast majority of women\, trans people\, 
 and\n   nonbinary people seeking information about health turn to the\n   
 internet. This makes sense given that these demographics are the most\n   
 marginalized in our healthcare systems. Unfortunately\, research also\n   
 shows that a significant amount of the online content about the health\n  
  of women\, trans people\, and nonbinary people is low quality and that\n 
   most people are not likely to question the validity of posts. As a\n   r
 esult\, misinformation is dangerously impacting health outcomes.\n\n   Thr
 ough a set of three case studies I delve into 1) the pervasiveness\n   of 
 gendered health misinformation online\, 2) misinformation trends on\n   ea
 ch topic\, and 3) what platforms should do to address this urgent\n   prob
 lem.\n\n   '\n\n   1. https://defcon.outel.org/consolidated_page.html#Caes
