In this episode, host Dr. Christina Madison interviews Jessica Steier, DrPH, PMP, CEO of Vital Statistics Consulting, and the founder and CEO of Unbiased Science, on her journey in public health and entrepreneurship. In a period of misinformation and disinformation, both Madison and Steier discuss the importance of creating informed, evidence-based decisions within health care. Key Takeaways: Data-Based and Evidence-Informed Decisions: Using her podcast, Unbiased Science, Dr. Jessica Steier explains that she doesn't intend to tell people what scientific opinions to have. Instead, she encourages listeners to use data and factual information to create their own evidence-based decisions to avoid falling for misinformation and disinformation. Misinformation Versus Disinformation: Dr. Steier explains that the difference in these terms revolves around intent. Misinformation refers to the unintentional spreading of inaccurate information, whereas disinformation is the intentional spread of false information. Dr. Steier also highlights a study conducted by the Center for Countering Digital Hate which found 12 people were responsible for the bulk of disinformation surrounding vaccines. The Benefits of Social Media: Although social media has been harmful in spreading misinformation and disinformation, Dr. Steier and Dr. Christina Madison discuss how it has been beneficial in emphasizing previously underdiscussed topics. As an example, they note the pain that women experience during IUD insertion, and how the mass discussion of that topic has encouraged health care practices to begin offering solutions and additional education.

Experts Include:  Patricia Mars, MD, owner and medical director of Venus By Mars Cosmetic Surgery and La Paloma Surgery Center; Donna H. Ryan, MD, Professor Emerita at Pennington Biomedical Research Center; and Christina Madison, PharmD, FCCP, AAHIVP, the Public Health Pharmacist. Key Takeaways 1.

Social media promotion of weight loss journeys using GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic by influencers increased public interest, but also risked unsafe practices without medical oversight. 3. While celebrity disclosure of personal experiences can boost awareness of obesity as a medical condition, it's important for endorsements to encourage safe and supervised use of pharmaceutical therapies. 4. Compounded versions of medications like semaglutide lack proper quality control and approval, posing potential dangers. 5. Pharmacists play a key role in educating patients on appropriate and regulated use of emerging weight loss therapies. References 1. Han SH, Safeek R, Ockerman K, et al.

The podcast discussed the impact and effectiveness of celebrity endorsements in the pharmaceutical industry. It covered how health care professionals are working to address misinformation through community outreach and multicomponent interventions. Regulation differences between prescription drugs, OTC medications, and dietary supplements were highlighted by Christina Madison, PharmD, FCCP, AAHIVP, the Public Health Pharmacist. Celebrity endorsements were said to potentially contribute to misinformation if claims aren't verified. While endorsements can raise awareness, medical experts cautioned that popularity doesn't equal scientific merit, said Alfred L'Altrelli, PharmD, CFMC, MBA, the senior director of pharmacy at UPMC Presbyterian-Shadyside. An interesting finding showed music videos being used as health education sources in Africa discussed by Andrew Mcnab, MD, professor at the Faculty of Medicine at the University of British Columbia. While endorsements can begin conversations, pharmacists were identified as the trusted medical sources. They were urged to educate patients, especially on less regulated OTC products and supplements. The podcast emphasized pharmacists' important roles as gatekeepers and advocates for providing accurate health information and guidance to patients, Troy Trygstad, PharmD, PhD, MBA, the executive director of CPESN USA, said.

Key Takeaways 1. Multicomponent interventions like addressing specific populations, increasing knowledge, and engaging community leaders can effectively address vaccine misinformation. 2. It's important to differentiate between unintentional misinformation and intentional disinformation. 3. OTC supplements and vitamins are less regulated than prescription drugs and claims may not be evidence-based. 4. Celebrity endorsements can raise awareness, but claims should be verified, and patients need guidance from medical professionals. 5. Personal endorsements from celebrities affected by conditions may be more effective than endorsements unrelated to health. 6. Different media types impact message effectiveness. TV is broad but social media allows targeted messaging. 7. Music videos using repetition and visuals can be an effective health promotion tool. 8. Pharmacists serve as trusted medical sources and should educate patients, especially on OTC products. References 1. Peters MDJ. Addressing vaccine hesitancy and resistance for COVID-19 vaccines.
