New framework assesses health influencer credibility by analyzing discourse networks

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have introduced GRID, a novel framework designed to assess the credibility of health influencer content by analyzing it within the context of the broader discourse. GRID models videos as argumentation graphs, connecting claims to their central messages and linking related claims across different videos. The framework grounds these claims in scientific evidence and infers credibility across the entire network. Evaluations using 569 influencer videos demonstrated that considering the surrounding discourse significantly improves content validation, revealing differences in argumentative strategies and moral framing between high- and low-credibility content.
