While this is a convenient and fast method to collect information\, online sources may contain incorrect infor mation that has the potential to cause harm\, especially if people believe what they read without further research or professional medical advice.\n The goal of this research is to address the misinformation problem in two of the most commonly used online services: search engines and social media platforms. We examined how people use these platforms to search for and s hare health information. To achieve this\, we designed controlled laborato ry user studies and employed large-scale social media data analysis tools. The solutions proposed can be used to build systems that better support p eoples' health-related decisions.\n DTSTART:20200224T173000Z DTEND:20200224T183000Z LOCATION:Peel 3661\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 1X1\, 3661 rue Peel SUMMARY:SIS Seminar Series - Amira Ghenai URL:/sis/channels/event/sis-seminar-series-amira-ghena i-320688 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
