Workshop 1-Scrutinizer Challenge (sponsored by the TPHA Epidemiology Section)

3/18/2019 9:00 AM - 11:00 AM

Abstract

It can be difficult to distinguish between truth, fiction, half-truths, and misinformation as we watch the news, read headlines, and scroll through various social media feeds. Fortunately, epidemiologists have the tools needed to serve as a practical resource for colleagues, partners, and communities in these situations. The Scrutinizer Challenge is an opportunity for individual epi section members to tackle at least one headline or news story a month that is relevant to public health. The goal is for all of us to understand how we can serve as a practical resource by doing the research needed to examine data sources and implications of news stories. This process can help us deliver consistent and reliable messages to share with colleagues, partners, and communities. It also provides an opportunity for the epi section to consolidate resources and develop working relationships between practice and academia.. Attendees will be assigned a headline or research study to analyze in groups. Scrutinizer end products include a list of sources and a short explanation about how each source truly contributes to the news story/its implications as well as one of the following: 1) an actionable summary that could be shared with colleagues or 2) a summary that could be shared with a local partner/the general public. Scrutinizer end products will be presented at the end of the session.

Participants will:

·         Scrutinize a headline or research study results  in order to assess whether public health implications are being presented accurately

·         Develop skills to serve as a practical resource for colleagues, partners, and communities when it comes to interpreting popular news headlines or research study results
