Abstract
The purpose of this study is to explore the main methods to improve the ability of college students to distinguish between true and false health information by using different educational media. The research adopts the method of experimental research and designs three groups of experiments, namely poster, text and video. Each group conducted two rounds of experiments: pre-test and post-test. 110 college students were recruited to participate in the experiment, and the experimental results were analyzed by means of paired samples t-test, independent samples t-test and ANOVA. It is found that all three educational media have significantly improved college students' ability to identify health information, especially posters, which have the greatest impact on the improvement of health information identification ability. At the same time, factors such as attention to health information and questioning have significantly affected the improvement of college students' ability to identify health information. The research results have theoretical and practical significance on how to carry out health information literacy education for college students and how to improve their health information literacy.
