      abstract = {This open access book on infodemic management reviews the  current discussions about this evolving area of public  health from a variety of perspectives. Infodemic management  is an evidence-based practice underpinned by the science of  infodemiology that offers guidance to better manage  pandemic and epidemic risks and more quickly tackle new and  resurgent health threats. Infodemic management has added  much visibility and recognition for the importance of  social-behavioural sciences, health communication,  participatory and human-centered approaches, and digital  health as complementary scientific and practical approaches  that also must be strengthened in public health practice  through a whole-of-society and whole information ecosystem  approach. This volume makes a case that health of the  information ecosystem in the digital age has emerged as the  fourth ecosystem that public health is challenged by, along  with the triad of environment-human-animal health. The book  brings together scientists and practitioners across  disciplines to offer insights on infodemic management. The  tools, methods, analytics, and interventions that they  discuss in the context of acute health events also can be  applied to other public health areas. Topics covered  include: People's Experience of Information Overload and  Its Impact on Infodemic Harms Smart Health! Expanding the  Need for New Literacies To Debunk or Not to Debunk?  Correcting (Mis)information Partnering with Communities for  Effective Management of Health Emergencies Managing  Infodemics in the 21st Century is required reading for  public health practitioners in need of an overview of this  evolving field of practice that has made major scientific  and practical leaps forward since early 2020. Global,  regional, and local health authorities are increasingly  recognizing the need to expand their capacities for  infodemic management in their efforts to better prepare for  future health emergencies. This book is the resource they  need to build toward a mature infodemic management process.  The text also can be used as supplemental reading for  graduate programs and courses in public health.},
