    Improving Digital Health Literacy: Influencers, Misinformation & Leveraging Credibility – Dr. Theo Lynn

    New health, nutrition and weight loss trends are popping up daily on social media. Many of these fly-by-night trends are simply that, but a new study focusing on the platform TikTok found that these trends may have more of a hold on people than once thought. To expose the inaccurate information being extracted from TikTok, MyFitnessPal, the #1 nutrition and food tracking app, partnered with Dublin City University on a two-part research project called “Health and Nutrition Inaccuracies on TikTok”.  Part 1 looked at social media influencers and Part 2 looked at Gen Z TikTok users. Study findings ranged from determining that only about 2% of content being classified as accurate to Gen Z users trusting influencers more if they claim to be qualified dietitians. Tune in to this episode to learn about: ·       how and where Americans are getting their health information has changed ·       improving our digital literacy is necessary to make better choices ·       MyFitnessPal’s ‘Nutrition IQ’ surveys’ key themes and concerning statistics ·       the Dublin City University 2-part research study ·       why the study focused on TikTok vs other platforms ·       preliminary findings from the 2-part study ·       what the “2% accuracy” finding really means ·       the positive finding about Gen Z’s trust in registered dietitians over unqualified influencers ·       the importance of licensed professionals helping to champion scientific truth across social media ·       the mere exposure effect, parasocial effect, and rules of persuasion ·       how to identify warning signs when scrolling on social media ·       how RDNs can stay on top of trends and leverage them to create compelling content that is evidence-based ·       a helpful infographic on ‘How to Spot Questionable Nutrition Tips on Social Media’ ·       if it’s ‘safe’ to be on TikTok ·       resources for the public and health professionals Full shownotes, transcript and resources at:  https://soundbitesrd.com/271

    Headlines in Perspective: How to Better Translate Nutrition Research – Karen Collins

    Reading and Translating Research: Skills That Can Be Up-Leveled  More and more, people are inundated with information and surrounded by often-conflicting information, especially when it comes to nutrition in the news. Nutrition research is moving at a rapid pace yet the scientific method of testing and verifying results is important.
