Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS) Workshop
Abstract:
HINTS is a collaborative research project aimed at exploring and comparing health information trends in China and the United States. The workshop is to better understand how health information is disseminated, made available, and used by the general public. The goal of the research is to pinpoint the critical elements that affect people’s behaviours, preferences, and wants with regard to health information by comparing and contrasting those aspects of one country or between these two countries. The workshop offers practical advice in data analysis and conceptual work, fosters knowledge exchange and the sharing of best practices, and promotes evidence-based strategies for bettering health communication and information dissemination, ultimately enhancing public health outcomes.
