How can children and young people learn to evaluate health information on the internet correctly? And what responsibility do systems such as YouTube or TikTok have? Host Rasmus Cloes discusses this with Kevin Dadaczynski, Professor of Health Education at the University of Potsdam.
Digitalization is changing how we talk about, learn about, and act on health. But in a world full of information, how can we keep track of everything and make the right decisions?
Kevin Dadaczynski has been researching how health literacy develops in digital environments for many years. In conversation with Rasmus, they discuss the opportunities and risks that children and young people in particular experience in this context.
Whether social media, generative AI, or gaming: new technologies create opportunities, but they also harbour dangers. How can we prevent false information from dominating – and instead promote safe digital spaces?
Special attention is paid to the role of schools, teachers, and parents: they can all help young people learn to deal with health information in a reflective manner.
Finally, the discussion turns to new creative approaches – from gamification to social listening – that show how public health research is taking on new forms in the digital age.
