People who get most of their news from social media rather than traditional news sites are more likely to harbor misconceptions about COVID-19, according to a new Canadian study. The study also found that people who are exposed to those misconceptions on social media are less likely to comply with important public health recommendations regarding the coronavirus pandemic, such as physical distancing. These differences in the attitudes and behaviors of people who get their news from social media versus traditional media held even after the study took into account such factors as scientific literacy and socio-economic differences. The findings are troubling. “There is a real danger that without concerted efforts to reduce the amount of misinformation shared on social media, the large-scale social efforts required to combat COVID-19 will be undermined,” the study’s authors write. How the study was done For the study, a team of researchers from McGill University in Montreal collected

Wearing face masks reduces the number of times that people touch their faces — particularly their eyes, nose and mouth — in public, a behavioral change that may help prevent the transmission of COVID-19, according to a study published Wednesday in JAMA Network Open. In countries where mandatory mask-wearing policies were implemented early in the pandemic and where compliance with those policies has been high, the reduction in face-touching has been particularly dramatic. People in China, for example, put their hands to their faces four times less often, and people in South Korea do it six times less often since mask-wearing became mandatory, the study reports. These findings support those of another, smaller study published online earlier this month. That study found that health care workers in the United States touched their faces four times less often when wearing face masks than when not wearing them. Health officials believe facial coverings can play an important role in limit

Fewer people are fracturing their hips in the United States and other high-income countries than three decades ago, and the reason has more to do with improved lifestyles, especially reduced smoking and less heavy drinking, than with new drug treatments, according to a study published this week in the JAMA Internal Medicine . “Promoting a healthy lifestyle over the past 30 years is a key reason that we are seeing less hip fractures each year,” said Dr. Timothy Bhattacharyya , the study’s senior author and a researcher at the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS), in an interview with Healio.com reporter Erin Michael. The study also underscores the message that “reducing smoking and heavy drinking, especially among young people, improves their bone health and lowers the risk of a disabling hip fracture,” he added. The chances of breaking a hip increase as you age. In the United States, about 300,000 people aged 65 and older are hospitalized f

Parents in the United States are significantly less likely to use spanking to discipline their children than their peers of 25 years ago, according to a University of Minnesota study published Monday in JAMA Pediatrics. The study reports that the proportion of parents with children aged 2 to 12 years old who say they spank their child dropped from 50 percent in 1993 to 35 percent in 2017. Fathers and mothers are both spanking less. The share of men who say they use spanking as punishment fell from 52 percent to 36 percent during the study period, while the share of women dropped from 48 percent to 35 percent. Spanking is also considerably less common among parents with a child aged 2 to 4 years old — the group that previous research has shown are most likely to use it. In 1993, 60 percent of parents with preschoolers said they spanked their child. By 2017, that figure had decreased to 39 percent. The study’s findings are based on national data collected from the Monitoring the Futu
