Please respond briefly to the following prompts: In a sentence or two, describe

Please respond briefly to the following prompts:
In a sentence or two, describe an example from your personal experience or observations when a layperson’s beliefs or practices about something related to health or illness differed from or contradicted the knowledge or recommendations of medical experts.* 
What’s your best guess re: factors that may have contributed to the layperson’s beliefs or practices? A sentence or two is sufficient here, but you can write more if you’d like.
In your opinion, what are some positives and/or negatives of the lay beliefs or practices in the example you describe here? You don’t have to note both positives and negatives here – one or the other is fine. But you can write about both if you’d like. And again, a sentence or two is sufficient here, but you can write more.
*If you can’t think of or aren’t comfortable sharing about anything from your experience or that of people you know, you can certainly draw from examples you saw on social media, news media, etc. (and reflecting on the COVID-19 pandemic might bring some examples to mind!).
