Two Steps for Moving Forward
I. FDA Consumer PanelCreate an FDA consumer panel to better understand the relationship between social media channels and health literacy, demographics, and chronic conditions.
II. Socialize the solutionSolicit innovation from associations, industry, and consumers on how to provide credible and transparent information in the social space. Challenges and grants can focus on ways to fix specific issues around these situations.
