Media and digital literacy are key to disrupting disinformation. --clapping back/arguing just helps to amplify bad faith accounts & false material --don't share "funny" disinfo to dunk on it; some will still believe it --BLOCK, REPORT, and tell others to do same *without* sharing disinfo content

*New research* from our group - did more people start #opioid agonist #treatment following voluntary or mandatory prescription drug monitoring program #PDMP implementation? We didn't find any change probably for a whole range of reasons, including potentially the lack of access to these treatments.
