As of 2023, over 100 million Americans have made medication and supplement purchases via social media applications with little information on their efficacy or the regulation of medication information. Healthcare decisions, once held only in the privacy of a medical office or hospital setting, are now being shared and explored by a larger audience who seek testimonials and shared experience ahead of medical recommendation. This session seeks to explore how social media influences medication requests and the risks associated with counterfeit drugs, as well as how non-person-centered language and inconsistent use of persons' identities can harm quality of care. Strategies for promoting person-centered language in healthcare, fostering equity, reducing misinformation, and insights into how to address these challenges will be explored through panel discussions and audience polling.
