The Monitoring Lab is currently providing weekly insights and real-time data dashboards on the four topics below. Select your topic of interest and area of practice to access data and insights tailored to your work.
The insights on these pages are based on the monitoring of publicly available data. While some insights reference specific false claims and conspiracy theories, others are included to indicate gaps in knowledge, concerns, speculation, and other trending narratives related to the topic. Inclusion in reporting is based on reach and velocity of spread and on whether conversations may impact health behaviors and decisions.
Dashboards are currently active across four health topics in the U.S., with additional countries and topics coming later this year.
