Select a template that fits your topic or audience. Post it as a standalone thread, in a story, or as part of a regular engagement series. Encourage members to comment with 'Fact' or 'Fiction' before revealing the answer later. For deeper engagement, invite members to share their reasoning or related experiences. Always cite a credible source if you provide a definitive answer.
For all platforms, keep statements short for easy reading. Use polls where available to let members vote. In stories or chats, reveal answers interactively. On forums, pin popular Fact or Fiction threads for ongoing participation.
When creating Fact or Fiction posts for your healthcare community, always cross-reference reputable sources such as CDC, WHO, or recent peer-reviewed journals. Avoid outdated or anecdotal information, and, if possible, have a healthcare professional review the facts before posting to maintain clinical accuracy and community trust.
You can address controversial topics if you are prepared to provide clear, referenced answers and moderate discussions closely. Use Fact or Fiction templates to debunk myths—such as 'Vaccines cause autism: Fact or Fiction?'—but monitor responses for the spread of misinformation and redirect users to evidence-based resources when necessary.
Create posts that tackle frequently misunderstood aspects, such as 'Only overweight people get Type 2 diabetes: Fact or Fiction?'. Use concise explanations rooted in medical literature to educate your members, and encourage follow-up questions for deeper engagement on disease management and prevention.
Yes, Fact or Fiction posts can be valuable for mental health awareness but must be crafted carefully—avoid stigmatizing language and focus on destigmatizing common myths, such as 'Depression is just sadness: Fact or Fiction?'. Always include supportive resources and clear guidance on seeking professional help.
Rely on official announcements, clinical trial data, and trusted medical organizations for treatments like telemedicine or new pharmaceuticals. Avoid sensationalism; instead, frame questions like 'Telemedicine is as effective as in-person visits for follow-up care: Fact or Fiction?' and cite your evidence in the discussion.
Segment your Fact or Fiction topics by role-specific scenarios, e.g., 'Nurses can independently prescribe medication: Fact or Fiction?' or 'Allied health professionals play a key role in chronic disease management: Fact or Fiction?'. This ensures relevance, encourages peer-to-peer learning, and acknowledges the diversity of expertise in your community.
