Study 3: We tested a brief intervention inspired by the toolbox from @anaskozyreva.bsky.social: 🔸 A combination of warnings and accuracy prompts. 👉 Result: This approach reduced conspiracy beliefs about chemotherapy and affected the intention to use conventional treatments. 7/10

Results from Study 1: The scandal unrelated to chemotherapy failed to increase mistrust toward these treatments. ❓ Was it due to a lack of coherence between the article and chemotherapy? ❓ Or the article’s lack of credibility? The next studies provided some answers. 4/10
