The spread of misinformation : a multivariate analysis of the relationship between individual characteristics and fact-checking behaviours of Canadians / by Howard Bilodeau and Aisha Khalid.: CS222-00001/2024-3E-PDF
"In 2023, over two in five Canadians (43%) thought it was becoming harder to distinguish between true and false news or information, compared with three years prior. This follows the finding that, in 2022, almost three-quarters of Canadians (73%) reported having seen content online that they suspected to be false or inaccurate in the past 12 months. In this paper, multivariate analyses were conducted to examine the role of demographic and socioeconomic characteristics in the likelihood of fact-checking news or information and sharing unverified online information, behaviours thought to be associated with the spread of misinformation"--Abstract, page 3.
