To identify such sources, we started by using the principles and definitions developed by a panel of experts convened by the <a class="md md-a" href="http://web.archive.org/web/20230405190928/https://nam.edu/about-the-nam/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">National Academy of Medicine</a> (NAM) in the United States, and reviewed by the American Public Health Association (APHA). As we expand outside of the United States, we are using the work done by the <a class="md md-a" href="http://web.archive.org/web/20230405190928/https://www.who.int/about" rel="noopener" target="_blank">World Health Organization</a> (WHO) outlining guidance on global application of the principles. In the UK, we worked with the National Health Service (NHS) to develop an approach to informing which channels would be eligible for health features that is appropriate for the UK context.</p> <p class="md md-p">NAM is a nonprofit, nongovernmental organization that brings together top experts in health, medicine, and biomedical science to provide unbiased, evidence-based guidance about health and science. The APHA is a professional association of public health practitioners that advocates for public health issues and policies backed by science. The WHO is a specialized agency of the United Nations responsible for international public health. The NHS is the umbrella term for the publicly funded healthcare systems of the UK.</p> <p class="md md-p">The expert panel convened by NAM published foundational principles that can be used to guide identification of potentially credible online health sources in a paper called <a class="md md-a" href="http://web.archive.org/web/20230405190928/https://nam.edu/programs/principles-for-defining-and-verifying-the-authority-of-online-providers-of-health-information/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Identifying Credible Sources of Health Information in Social Media: Principles and Attributes</a>. The WHO and NAM recently convened a meeting of interdisciplinary experts from around the world to review and validate these principles for <a class="md md-a" href="http://web.archive.org/web/20230405190928/https://www.who.int/teams/digital-health-and-innovation/digital-channels/global-principles-for-identifying-credible-sources-of-health-information-on-social-media" rel="noopener" target="_blank">global application</a>. In the UK, the NHS reviewed the principles for the UK context and also created the NHS Standard for Creating Health Content that NHS organizations must self-certify against to be eligible for a health source information panel or to be featured in the health content shelves. The principles for authoritative health sources in these papers include that sources should be science-based, objective, transparent and accountable.</p> <p class="md md-p">As we begin to adopt principles for authoritative health sources, we are starting with organizations with pre-existing, standardized vetting mechanisms such as healthcare organizations, educational institutions, public health departments and government organizations.* Vetting mechanisms include accreditation, academic journal indexing and government accountability rules. We’re exploring ways to broaden eligibility and evaluate inclusion of other health sources, as well as ways to expand these features globally. </p> <p class="md md-p">*Current sources are not exhaustive of these categories, we are continuing work to include sources based on these principles and attributes.</p> <p class="md md-p" md-node-state="empty"><div class="ytr-resources lb-padding-top-s lb-margin-top-m lb-margin-bottom-m"> <div class="ytr-resources-grid"> <div class="ytr-resources-grid__cell ytr-resources-grid__cell--span-2"> <h3 class="lb-margin-bottom-xs"> <span class="lb-font-weight-600 lb-font-subhead"> Resources </span> </h3> <ul> <li class="lb-font-paragraph lb-margin-top-s"> <div class="lb-margin-top-xs lb-font-paragraph ytr-button"> <a class="ytr-link" href="http://web.archive.org/web/20230405190928/https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/9795167?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer nofollow"> Learn more about information on health-related content <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewbox="0 0 24 24" fill="#065fd4"><path d="M0 0h24v24H0z" fill="none"/><path d="M19 19H5V5h7V3H5a2 2 0 00-2 2v14a2 2 0 002 2h14c1.1 0 2-.9 2-2v-7h-2v7zM14 3v2h3.59l-9.83 9.83 1.41 1.41L19 6.41V10h2V3h-7z"/></svg> </a> </div> </li> </ul> </div> </div> </div></p> <p class="md md-p">Note: "<a class="md md-a" href="http://web.archive.org/web/20230405190928/https://cdn.who.int/media/docs/default-source/digital-health-documents/final_global-principles-for-identifying-credible-sources-of-health-information-on-social-media.pdf?sfvrsn=18f47c78_4&download=true" rel="noopener" target="_blank">WHO online consultation meeting to discuss global principles for identifying credible sources of health information on social media</a>" by the <a class="md md-a" href="http://web.archive.org/web/20230405190928/https://www.who.int/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">World Health Organization</a> is licensed under <a class="md md-a" href="http://web.archive.org/web/20230405190928/https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/igo/legalcode" rel="noopener" target="_blank">CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 IGO</a>.</p> </div> <div class="ytr-article__content ytr-js-tabs-content-block lb-hide" id="providing-health-source-context"> <h2 class="md md-h2">Providing health source context</h2> <p class="md md-p">When looking for health information online, it can be difficult to determine the authority or credibility of various sources of information. Context is critical when evaluating information, which is why we provide contextual information panels alongside videos that have been identified as authoritative sources for health information. To identify authoritative health sources, we used principles and definitions developed by a panel of experts convened by the National Academy of Medicine (NAM) and verified by the WHO. In the UK, initially only NHS organizations are currently eligible for the information panels indicating NHS credibility. NHS channels must self-certify against the NHS Standard for Creating Health Content to be eligible for an information panel. Information panels providing health source context can help you better evaluate if a source is an accredited organization or government health source.
