The COVID-Associated Misinformation on Messaging Apps (CAROM) Study is a global study that aims to specifically explore COVID-19 related misinformation disseminated across the South Asian Diaspora via WhatsApp. The goal of the research team is to look for possible links between social media related misinformation and South Asian health disparities.
