Summary: The study found that the majority of parents of children with cancer experienced conflicting information between social media and oncologists.

Parents believe that physicians' openness to social media discussions, honesty, transparency, humility, and shared decision-making regarding information found on social media can increase their trust in their oncologists.

Summary: Patient, public, consumer, and community (P2C2) engagement in healthcare delivery, research, and policy making is seen as an ethical obligation and increasingly a regulatory requirement globally. The concept of a consucrat, a career consumer who represents a particular group or community, can create issues when they are co-opted by an institution governing body or when institutions only listen to the same voices over time. To avoid these problems, it is important for P2C2 members to stay connected with the people they represent and to take the concept and process of representation seriously.

Summary: The relationship between health and rights is complex, but the American College of Physicians sees health as a human right. Individual doctors and the medical profession have ethical obligations to patients, and society has a responsibility to ensure equitable access to appropriate health care. By recognizing health as a human right and promoting equitable health systems, the United States can better respect and protect the health rights of all individuals.
