Evaluation
Online Misinformation Harms Questionnaire
Last Updated: January 26, 2024
The online misinformation harm questionnaire, available for download below is meant to help you or your organization make assessments of the potential or relevant urgency of a specific piece of content according to certain dimensions of magnitude. Here are some guidelines and notes:
- Once familiarity is gained, the questionnaire should take less than 10 minutes to complete. If a quicker assessment is needed, focus first on answering the “Key Questions” highlighted in within each section.
- Answer by marking a “1” under either Y (Yes), N (No), or NA (Not Applicable/Don’t Know).
- “Not applicable/Don’t Know” answers can be subtracted from "Total Yes” answers to gain a relative magnitude of urgency across different pieces of content. But in the end, it’s up to you and your organization to determine how to best weigh the answers.
- Feel free to answer “Not applicable/Don’t Know” for a question if, after reflection, you cannot say.
