OUR IMPACT

It is difficult to access research, reliable sources, and information

Судалгаа, зөв эх сурвалж, мэдээлэл олох төвөгтэй

It does not convey a professional or academic level of credibility

Мэргэжлийн эсвэл академик түвшний итгэл үнэмшил төрдөггүй

They do not pay attention to their health and have not developed preventive habits

Эрүүл мэнддээ анхаардаггүй, урьдчилан сэргийлэх дадал суугаагүй

They receive misleading cues by avoiding traditional information

Уламжлалт мэдээллээс зайлсхийдэг буруу сэдэл авдаг

The weak knowledge and understanding of the legal and regulatory environment

Хууль эрх зүйн орчны мэдлэг мэдээлэл сул
