COVID-19 Misinformation
Many survey participants said they experienced fear and misinformation about the pandemic.
Sources of Information
Social media, radio, and in-person events are the main ways we share and receive information. Our results show that misinformation occurs in all forms of communication. But, misinformation was less likely to be shared face-to-face.
Barriers to Access
Did you have difficulty getting healthcare during the pandemic? You’re not alone.
We have reviewed all your responses, and we have heard your voices! We are working to share these results with community leaders, government officials, and healthcare workers to help:
• Make it easier to find health resources
• Share information in Spanish from trusted sources
• Create a strong network of support for our Hispanic-Latino community
