A Quick Guide to Public Health Misinformation

On March 11, 2025, the public health community reflected on the 5th anniversary of the World Health Organization declaring COVID-19 a pandemic. In response to the ongoing challenges of misinformation, the Public Health Communications Collaborative (PHCC) released a quick guide to help communicators address false narratives.

This resource, created in partnership with the Infodemiology Training Program, equips public health professionals with tools to deliver accurate, clear, and accessible information. PHCC, established in 2020, continues to grow with new partners and topics, fostering collaboration to rebuild trust and advocate for an equitable, effective public health system where everyone can access the information they need for informed decision-making.
