The Nature Medicine Commission on Quality Health Information for All 

About

The Nature Medicine Commission on Quality Health Information for All will confront the major health communication challenges of today’s highly charged political and digital environment. The Commission will identify and disseminate scientifically sound recommendations to increase equity in health information, promote health literacy, mitigate the impact of health mis- and disinformation, rebuild trust in science and public health authorities, and measurably increase access to high-quality health information that individuals, families, and communities need to live healthier and more productive lives in the post-pandemic world.

Our Work

Nature Medicine, part if the Nature Portfolio of journals, is supporting a Nature Medicine Commission on Quality Health Information for All. The new Commission will bring together global experts on health communication to develop and advance an 18-24 month strategic research program that will lead to concrete recommendations for the development, dissemination and protection of health information in diverse global contexts. Commission outputs will include a clear and actionable roadmap to improve health literacy, limit the impact of health mis- and dis-information  and facilitate equitable access to quality health information, including how it relates to AI, social media, and future technological innovations. The Commission’s recommendations will provide practical, robust policy guidance to help stakeholders, including industry leaders, governments and international agencies, identify effective, measurable ways to address the challenges of providing trustworthy health information nationally and globally in the current environment.
