When we are concerned about a health issue it's important to turn to a professional for evidence-based help, but research from Susannah Fox (former Chief Technology Officer at US Department of Health and Human Services) shows that about a quarter of people also turn to someone who's been through the same thing, and that group often gets uniquely useful, up-to-date information.
In this whiteboard from 2018, Susanna dives into the why's and how's of Peer to Peer Health advice with the general takeaway: it's not always life-changing, but it's often life-improving -and it can make you feel a lot less alone.
Enjoy!
