We live in an era where information—and misinformation—travels faster than ever particularly as it relates to nutrition and healthy lifestyles. This webinar introduces novel research on how people process information and form beliefs and explores practical tools to promote understanding without confrontation. Participants will learn when to use corrections, when to take alternative approaches, and how “bypassing” strategies can foster constructive dialogue across differing views. 

Organized by ASN's Nutrition Translation RIS
