Abstract

In 2025, US measles cases reached the highest levels since 2000, coinciding with persistent vaccine hesitancy and mixed media messaging. This study analyzed 100 Google News reports from June 2025. Nonmainstream outlets published more credentialed content (31.6% vs 11.6%, P = .02), yet fewer than 25% cited research. Most reports were informational (94%) and pro-vaccination (72%), though 28% presented mixed messaging. Findings highlight gaps in evidence-based reporting and opportunities for improved health communication.

2025年美国麻疹爆发期间b谷歌新闻报道分析

2025年，美国麻疹病例达到2000年以来的最高水平，与持续的疫苗犹豫和混合的媒体信息相吻合。这项研究分析了2025年6月以来的100亿篇新闻报道。非主流媒体发表了更多可信的内容（31.6%对11.6%,p=0.02），但引用研究的不到25%。大多数报告是信息性的（94%）和支持接种疫苗的（72%），尽管28%的报告传达了混合信息。调查结果强调了在循证报告方面的差距和改善卫生沟通的机会。
