One of the challenges today is to face fake news (false information) in health due to its potential impact on people's lives. This article contributes to a new application of social impact in social media (SISM) methodology. This study focuses on the social impact of the research to identify what type of health information is false and what type of information is evidence of the social impact shared in social media. The analysis of social media includes Reddit, Facebook, and Twitter. This analysis contributes to identifying how interactions in these forms of social media depend on the type of information shared. The results indicate that messages focused on fake health information are mostly aggressive, those based on evidence of social impact are respectful and transformative, and finally, deliberation contexts promoted in social media overcome false information about health. These results contribute to advancing knowledge in overcoming fake health-related news shared in social media.
当今面临的挑战之一是要应对健康领域的假新闻（虚假信息），因为其可能对人们的生活产生影响。本文为社交媒体中的社会影响力（SISM）方法的新应用做出了贡献。本研究侧重于研究的社会影响，以确定哪种类型的健康信息是虚假的，哪种信息是社交媒体中共享的社会影响的证据。对社交媒体的分析包括 Reddit、Facebook 和 Twitter。该分析有助于确定这些形式的社交媒体中的交互如何取决于所共享信息的类型。结果表明，关注虚假健康信息的信息大多是攻击性的，基于社会影响证据的信息是尊重和变革性的，最后，在社交媒体中促进的审议环境可以克服有关健康的虚假信息。这些结果有助于增进在社交媒体中克服与健康相关的假新闻的知识。
