Abstract

Information disorder is problematic in health because it can limit effective treatment options and preventive measures. Interviews were conducted to understand the current policies and practices better. The qualitative analysis resulted in three broad thematic areas, with 115 codes and 12 code groups. Since Sri Lanka is a low- to middle-income country, optimising available resources is crucial; alternative cost-free tools and freely accessible international standards and guidelines can be customised to meet the country's needs.
