Digital Health Information: Media Coverage of Cancer and Its Impact on Patients

Online information about cancer is everywhere, but not all information is accurate or reliable and it can be difficult to determine what can be beneficial.

  3. Demonstrate how media coverage affects patient understanding of cancer and medical decision-making.
