新冠肺炎已经对全球数十亿人的健康行为产生了负面影响，改变了他们以前的健康和生活方式趋势。在本文中，我们比较了新冠肺炎大流行前后与饮食、体力活动、物质使用和吸烟相关的心理社会语言标记物。我们利用流行的社交媒体平台Reddit分析了2019年1月6日至2021年1月5日期间发布的100万条帖子，这些帖子来自22个不同的社区(即次级社区)，属于四个更广泛的群体-饮食、体育活动、物质使用和吸烟。我们发现，在新冠肺炎大流行之前，帖子涉及分享关于度假、国际旅行、工作、家庭、非法物质消费、蒸发和酒精的信息，而在大流行期间，帖子包含与隔离、戒断症状、焦虑、尝试戒烟、渴望、减肥和身体健康相关的情感内容。流行话题分析显示，大流行与关于营养、身体健康以及背包和骑自行车等户外活动的讨论有关，这表明在大流行期间，用户的重点转向了他们的身体健康。从2020年3月23日那一周开始，当几项居家政策颁布后，用户写了更多关于应对压力和焦虑、酒精滥用和滥用，以及在人们被社会孤立后从烈酒转向啤酒/葡萄酒等减少伤害的策略。此外，与使用苯二氮卓类药物(安定、Xanax、氯硝西潘)、性激素(KrATOM、苯尼布特)和阿片类药物有关的帖子在2020年3月23日左右达到顶峰，随后下降。值得注意的是，与观察到的普遍下降不同，与海洛因替代品(如芬太尼)有关的帖子数量在新冠肺炎大流行期间有所增加。在2020年3月下旬之后，关于戒烟的帖子越来越多，而关于渴望吸烟的帖子急剧下降。这项研究强调了在Reddit等平台上研究社交媒体讨论的重要性，这些平台是人类经验的丰富生态来源，为有针对性的消息传递和缓解战略提供见解，并进一步补充正在进行的传统主要数据收集方法。
COVID-19 has adversely impacted the health behaviors of billions of people across the globe, modifying their former trends in health and lifestyle. In this paper, we compare the psychosocial language markers associated with diet, physical activity, substance use, and smoking before and after the onset of COVID-19 pandemic. We leverage the popular social media platform Reddit to analyze 1 million posts between January 6, 2019, to January 5, 2021, from 22 different communities (i.e., subreddits) that belong to four broader groups—diet, physical activity, substance use, and smoking. We identified that before the COVID-19 pandemic, posts involved sharing information about vacation, international travel, work, family, consumption of illicit substances, vaping, and alcohol, whereas during the pandemic, posts contained emotional content associated with quarantine, withdrawal symptoms, anxiety, attempts to quit smoking, cravings, weight loss, and physical fitness. Prevalent topic analysis showed that the pandemic was associated with discussions about nutrition, physical fitness, and outdoor activities such as backpacking and biking, suggesting users’ focus shifted toward their physical health during the pandemic. Starting from the week of March 23, 2020, when several stay-at-home policies were enacted, users wrote more about coping with stress and anxiety, alcohol misuse and abuse, and harm-reduction strategies like switching from hard liquor to beer/wine after people were socially isolated. In addition, posts related to use of substances such as benzodiazepines (valium, xanax, clonazepam), nootropics (kratom, phenibut), and opioids peaked around March 23, 2020, followed by a decline. Of note, unlike the general decline observed, the volume of posts related to alternatives to heroin (e.g., fentanyl) increased during the COVID-19 pandemic. Posts about quitting smoking gained momentum after late March 2020, and there was a sharp decline in posts about craving to smoke. This study highlights the significance of studying social media discussions on platforms like Reddit which are a rich ecological source of human experiences and provide insights to inform targeted messaging and mitigation strategies, and further complement ongoing traditional primary data collection methods.
