Fact-checking to tackle infodemics and misinformation, with a focus on HPV vaccines

Overview

This research aims to develop and evaluate a suite of feasible interventions based on artificial intelligence (AI) technologies – such as fact-checking extensions, real-time dashboards, and chatbots – that improve the ability to debunk misinformation, boost self-efficacy in the vaccination decision-making process, and increase the acceptance of the HPV vaccine in Japan, Korea and China.

The real-time dashboard could help to track misinformation regarding HPV and vaccines, and all the project interventions could be implemented across major social media platforms to facilitate HPV vaccine adoption.

A further goal of this study is to identify the underlying causes of vaccine hesitancy and potential entry points for interventions by conducting in-depth interviews with HPV vaccine stakeholders.

Methodology

The research uses a suite of mixed-methods data collection and analysis as well as artificial intelligence (AI) technologies.
