As misinformation is one of the top risks facing the world today, it is vital to ensure that young people have the confidence and skills to recognize fake news. Therefore, we used co-creation to develop an intervention (called 'Project Real') and tested its efficacy in a proof-of-concept study. One hundred and twenty-six pupils aged 11-13 completed questionnaires before and after the intervention that measured confidence and ability to recognize fake news and the number of checks they would make before sharing news. Twenty-seven pupils and three teachers participated in follow-up discussions to evaluate Project Real. Quantitative data indicated that Project Real increased participants' confidence in recognizing fake news and the number of checks they intended to make before sharing news. However, there was no change in their ability to recognize fake news. Qualitative data indicated that participants felt that they had improved their skills and confidence in recognizing fake news, supporting the quantitative data.
由于虚假信息是当今世界面临的主要风险之一，因此确保年轻人有信心和技能来识别假新闻至关重要。因此，我们采用共同创造的方法来开发一项干预措施（称为“项目真实”），并在概念验证研究中测试其效果。126 名 11-13 岁的学生在干预前后完成了测量信心和识别假新闻能力以及分享新闻前检查次数的问卷。27 名学生和 3 名教师参与了后续讨论，以评估“项目真实”。定量数据表明，“项目真实”提高了参与者识别假新闻的信心以及他们打算在分享新闻前进行检查的次数。但是，他们识别假新闻的能力没有变化。定性数据表明，参与者认为他们已经提高了识别假新闻的技能和信心，这支持了定量数据。
