Most existing methods to tackle conspiracy beliefs are ineffective, study finds

QAnon is an American political conspiracy theory and political movement. A three-month educational course on differentiating between scientific and pseudoscientific practices was found to be the most effective method to tackle conspiracy theories.

A new study has found that most existing methods to tackle conspiracy theories are ineffective but, methods focused on critical thinking or having an analytical mindset are more promising.

The study, led by researchers at University College Cork (UCC), is the first comprehensive review of its kind.
