Misinformation, or the spread of false information, can affect policy and individual health behaviors. Harm reduction practitioners and researchers have seen their work misrepresented in the media to the detriment of people in their community. Media coverage affects both public opinion and policy, which necessitates that it be informed by the current science and carefully platforms people who can speak to the science. Reporting on Addiction was formed to understand issues with media coverage and the consequences of this uninformed media coverage and propose solutions to these issues. Our "three-legged stool" approach defines this work (academic experts, researchers, community members, and the media) by identifying the problems and guiding our solutions. By working collaboratively with the media to improve their knowledge about addiction science, we aim to reduce misinformation and improve the lives of people with an addiction, in treatment, and during recovery.
错误信息，即虚假信息的传播，会影响政策和个人健康行为。减少伤害的从业者和研究人员发现，他们的工作在媒体上被歪曲，对其所在社区的人们造成了损害。媒体报道会影响公众舆论和政策，因此必须以当前科学为依据，并谨慎选择能够阐述科学观点的人士作为报道对象。“成瘾报道”组织的成立是为了了解媒体报道中存在的问题以及这种缺乏依据的媒体报道所带来的后果，并针对这些问题提出解决方案。我们的“三条腿凳子”方法通过识别问题并指导解决方案来界定这项工作（学术专家、研究人员、社区成员和媒体）。通过与媒体合作，提高他们对成瘾科学的认识，我们旨在减少错误信息，改善成瘾者、正在接受治疗者以及康复者的生活。
