The article is from accredited source, Boston University School of Public Health, and the author Jillian McKoy's Linkedln also lists her as being a BU affiliate. The article is in response to a recent study by BU’s School of Public Health that is linked through the article on JAMA, a verifiable peer reviewed medical journal. The article also interviews the study’s lead, Kevin Nguyen and additionally hyperlinks his name to his BU profile. This study is additionally seen on the National Institute of Health, a government website. This claim appears to be credible and supported through the aforementioned study, although it is important to recognize the study only took place in the United States. A more accurate claim would include this aspect.
