There is no consensus on<br>categorizing types of misinformation and harm. This study aimed to categorize and quantify misinformation and<br>resultant harm from posts on YouTube, Pinterest, and Instagram on pelvic organ prolapse (POP), a prevalent benign<br>condition that impacts quality of life. We conducted a descriptive study of 300 posts presented in these platforms in<br>2019. Using Fisher exact test, we show a significant difference in the distribution of misinformation between social media<br>platforms. Harmful posts were most frequently present on Pinterest, leading to harmful inaction and economic harm.</p&gt;}, number={2}, journal={Société Internationale d’Urologie Journal}, author={Wang, Chaoyang and Kang, Juhye and Gerard, Emily and Loeb, Stacy and Malik, Rena D.}, year={2023}, month={Mar.}, pages={131-135} }
