Fifty national organizations, including the AHA, today launched the Coalition for Trust in Health & Science to combat misinformation and help Americans make science-based health decisions for themselves, their families and communities.
 
“The United States is experiencing a tidal wave of misinformation and disinformation, which has real-world health impacts, such as preventable misery and deaths, and is escalating already dangerously high levels of mistrust and distrust in healthcare, public health and science,” said Reed Tuckson, M.D., who convened the coalition as chair and co-founder of the Black Coalition Against COVID. “Addressing this infodemic is fundamental to the values of the Coalition’s members and, together, we can and will make a positive impact on the health of individuals and the nation.”
 
The American Organization for Nursing Leadership also supports this effort.
