A Public Health Call to Arms: The Long Build to FDA’s Misinformation Guidance
Health Member Joanne Hawana was quoted in a Medical Marketing and Media article examining the need for regulatory guidance to combat the proliferation of online health misinformation.
The article says: “Hawana believes the FDA’s update was probably ‘more politically than functionally driven,’ especially since combating misinformation has been a big plank of agency commissioner Dr. Robert Califf’s post-pandemic agenda. “There were political pressures to make this a priority guidance document, rather than the industry saying, ‘We really need more guidance,’” she said.”
