Communication as prevention and self-education

Science and institutions agree in recognizing that health is not simply the absence of disease, but a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, as stated by the World Health Organization. Building global health is much more than delegating diagnoses and decisions to healthcare professionals. It is possible by recognizing ourselves as the true protagonists of our lives and acting on our daily choices: from educational planning to nutritionLife does not take breaks: in every living being, bodily fun... More and lifestyles, from our relationship with technology to corporate policies.

Scientific communication to address the infodemic

The first step toward global health is awareness, which also stems from knowledge. Today we live in a world where information spreads quickly and often reaches eyes and ears before being verified. Access to information is virtually unlimited, but quantity does not always mean quality. On the contrary, the spread of inaccurate or misleading information has led to the term infodemic: an epidemic of information that, instead of clarifying, creates confusion. The problem is exacerbated by social media, which by their nature favor instant communication, often without filters or fact-checking. In this context, high-quality communication and scientific dissemination capable of truly reaching people are essential elements to provide everyone with the tools to consciously guide their life choices, based on the latest scientific evidence.

The portal: Fondazione Patrizio Paoletti’s new scientific dissemination project

Fondazione Patrizio Paoletti has therefore decided to complement its already extensive range of initiatives with a new large-scale dissemination plan, to invest in the future through scientific and constructive communication, serving individuals, families, and communities, and relying on the extraordinary human ability to continuously improve throughout life. Thus, the Fondazione Patrizio Paoletti portal was created: a pedagogical tool for prevention and self-education, combining science and conscience for an ethical and practical orientation of research. The portal is divided into different thematic areas and offers free content of various types, such as articles, interviews, stories, in-depth analyses, surveys, thematic series, downloadable edukits, and video lessons.
