Abstract
Unlabelled: We analyzed Google Trends data on measles-related searches in Canada from January 1 to May 21, 2025; web, news, and YouTube search trends increased significantly across provinces (all P values were <.05), aligning with rising case numbers. Our findings emphasize the importance of timely, targeted risk communication for enhancing public awareness and responses during this outbreak.
