Abstract. In an era of unprecedented information accessibility, the proliferation of misinformation poses significant<\/p>\n
challenges, particularly for vulnerable populations. This paper presents a comprehensive landscape review of research<\/p>\n
examining the impacts of misinformation on minority youth, a demographic uniquely positioned at the intersection of<\/p>\n
digital nativity and potential marginalization.<\/p>\n
Our review synthesizes findings from diverse disciplines, including communications, public health, psychology,<\/p>\n
and education, published between 2010 and 2023. We analyze how various forms of misinformation, ranging from<\/p>\n
health-related falsehoods to political disinformation, specifically affect minority youth aged 13-25. Key themes explored include the role of social media platforms in misinformation dissemination, the interplay between cultural<\/p>\n
factors and misinformation susceptibility, and the efficacy of existing interventions in fostering digital literacy among<\/p>\n
minority youth.<\/p>\n
Our findings reveal significant gaps in current research, particularly regarding the long-term effects of misinformation exposure on minority youth\u2019s beliefs and behaviors. We also highlight the need for more culturally nuanced<\/p>\n
approaches in studying and addressing misinformation in these communities. The review underscores the importance of understanding how misinformation may exacerbate disparities in health, education, and social outcomes for<\/p>\n
minority youth.<\/p>\n
This paper contributes to the growing literature on misinformation by examining its impact on a critical yet under-<\/p>\n
studied population. Our analysis offers valuable insights for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners developing<\/p>\n
targeted strategies to combat misinformation and promote information literacy among minority youth. We propose a<\/p>\n
research agenda to address identified knowledge gaps and enhance our understanding of this crucial issue.<\/p>\n
