Therefore, an imperative need for public health nowadays is to timely identify and mitigate (when advisable) wrong health-related information in the social networks. The paper describes health-related misinformation and its consequences, highlights select research lines about health-related misinformation, and discusses the need for collaborative, multi-agency and interdisciplinary work to face health-related misinformation.
