确定青少年和青壮年(AYA)如何使用社交媒体分享健康信息，并评估对使用社交媒体获取健康信息和与医疗提供者沟通的态度。一项对12岁或12岁以上的AYA在初级保健青少年和年轻成人诊所就诊的横断面研究。参与者完成了一项关于健康相关社交媒体使用、个人健康以及与医疗团队沟通的匿名调查。在244名患者中，204人入选(参与率为83.6%)。几乎所有人(98%)在前一个月内使用过社交媒体，但只有51.5%的人在这些网络上分享了健康信息。这些参与者分享了情绪(76.2%)、健康(57.1%)和急性疾病(41.9%)。那些自我报告健康状况不佳的人比其他组更有可能分享健康信息。隐私是决定使用哪个平台的最重要因素。只有25%的人认为社交媒体可以为他们提供有用的健康信息。很少有AYA在社交媒体上与他们的医疗团队联系，大多数人不想使用这种方法；发短信是首选。阿亚在社交媒体上保护自己关于健康的隐私。那些自我感觉健康状况不佳的人更有可能分享健康信息，这可能会偏向在线内容，并损害社交媒体研究的概括性。Ayas不认为社交媒体是一种有用的健康信息来源，这可能会限制通过这些平台传递公共健康信息的效用，而且可能不足以在患者和他们的医疗团队之间进行沟通。
To determine how adolescents and young adults (AYAs) use social media to share health information and to assess attitudes towards using social media to obtain health information and communicate with medical providers. A cross-sectional study of AYAs, 12 years or older, attending a primary care adolescent and young adult clinic. Participants completed an anonymous survey about health-related social media use, personal health, and communication with their healthcare team. Of 244 patients approached, 204 enrolled (83.6% participation rate). Almost all (98%) had used social media within the prior month, but only 51.5% had shared health information in these networks. These participants shared about mood (76.2%), wellness (57.1%), and acute medical conditions (41.9%). Those with self-reported poor health were more likely to share health information than other groups. Privacy was the most important factor determining which platform to use. Only 25% thought social media could provide them with useful health information. Few AYAs connected with their healthcare team on social media and most did not want to use this method; texting was preferred. AYAs maintain their privacy on social media regarding their health. Those with self-perceived poor health are more likely to share health information, potentially biasing online content and impairing the generalizability of social media research. AYAs do not view social media as a useful source of health information, which may limit the utility of public health messages through these platforms, and it may not be adequate for communication between patients and their healthcare team.
