credibilidad, información para la salud, medios, nuevos medios, pandemiaResumen
En medio de un panorama mediático amplio y diverso, entre los viejos y los nuevos medios, no está muy clara la manera en que las personas se informan sobre temas de la salud y mucho menos se conoce la credibilidad que se atribuye hacia los medios y hacia sus contenidos, por lo que se realizó una investigación cuantitativa de corte exploratorio y descriptivo a 151 habitantes de la Ciudad de México mediante la aplicación de un cuetionario durante la pandemia provocada por la covid-19 (julio-diciembre 2020), encontrándose que las páginas web especializadas son la principal fuente de información y las que poseen una mayor credibilidad en temas de salud; sin embargo, con una muestra tan pequeña, los resultados no son concluyentes y es necesario realizar una investigación más amplia, incluso de corte cualitativo para profundizar más en los elementos que conducen a las personas a buscar y evaluar este tipo de información.
