dc.description.abstractHealth misinformation on social media devastates physical and mental health, invalidates health gains, and potentially costs lives. Deep learning methods have been deployed to predict the spread of misinformation, but they lack the interpretability due to their blackbox nature. To remedy this gap, this study proposes a novel interpretable deep learning, Generative Adversarial Network based Piecewise Wide and Attention Deep Learning (GAN-PiWAD), to predict health misinformation transmission in social media. GAN-PiWAD captures the interactions among multi-modal data, offers unbiased estimation of the total effect of each feature, and models the dynamic total effect of each feature. Interpretation of GAN-PiWAD indicates video description, negative video content, and channel credibility are key features that drive viral transmission of misinformation. This study contributes to IS with a novel interpretable deep learning that is generalizable to understand human decisions. We provide direct implications to design interventions to identify misinformation, control transmissions, and manage infodemics.
