Health Unit 2 Portfolio Reflection

I used to think that subscriptions and likes affected the credibility of the influencer. Before deciding to trust the video, I mostly only searched for similar tactics or products. Although many searches come along with it, it might be because it might be just a viral folk remedy. Additionally, I took interest in it although it wasn’t a thing I needed.

But after the unit about evaluating health media, I learned that these do not relate to the credibility and by using the CRAAP test, you can check the currency, relevance, authority, accuracy, and the purpose of the influencer’s video.

When evaluating a influencer health video, you first need to look if the information is outdated or not. Next, we check if it is appropriate for yourself and look for citations or credentials. When looking for the relevant sources we also need to look out for red flags like ‘never’, ‘always’, etc. Last, we look for the purpose of the video to see if you really need it. An activity that stood out to me was the activity on evaluating health-related media and looking for unreliable words or phrases and credentials.
