(1)背景资料：目前的研究利用社交媒体与ED青少年联系，以确定人群的特定特征，并收集对移动健康干预的反馈。(2)方法：我们从社交媒体上招募了两个阶段的ED青少年：（1）发现组，（2）测试组。探索组（n = 14）参与者从Facebook/Instagram招募，并被要求审查应用程序长达一周，并提供定性反馈。在整合了Discovery Group的反馈后，我们改进了社交媒体推广方法，与30名患有ED的青少年建立了联系，以试用这款移动的应用程序。从社交媒体上的各种平台招募的参与者都很成功，测试组的大多数注册参与者来自Snapchat（60%），很大一部分参与者属于性别和性少数群体（63%）。(3)结果如下：除了艾德症状外，两组参与者的抑郁（100%发现，90%测试）和/或焦虑症状（100%发现，93%测试）发生率极高，并指出这可能是应用程序参与的障碍。(4)结论：使用社交媒体招募患有ED的青少年是可行的，并且可以与使用传统招募方法可能更难以接触的群体建立联系。在发现组中，对支持艾德康复的应用程序的接受度和兴趣都很高，两组的特征都表明需要在其他心理健康领域提供支持。未来的研究应该评估这些工具在青少年中的初步疗效，以确定这些干预措施对艾德症状和其他心理健康结果的影响。
(1) Background: The current study leveraged social media to connect with teens with EDs to identify population specific characteristics and to gather feedback on an mHealth intervention. (2) Methods: We recruited teens with EDs from social media in two phases: (1) Discovery Group, (2) Testing Group. The Discovery Group (n = 14) participants were recruited from Facebook/Instagram and were asked to review the app for up to one week and provide qualitative feedback. After incorporating feedback from the Discovery Group, we refined our social media outreach methods to connect with 30 teens with EDs to pilot this mobile app. Recruitment from a variety of platforms on social media was successful, with the majority of enrolled participants in the Testing Group coming from Snapchat (60%) and a large percentage of participants belonging to gender and sexual minority groups (63%). (3) Results: Participants from both groups experienced extremely high rates of depression (100% Discovery, 90% Testing) and/or anxiety symptoms (100% Discovery, 93% Testing) in addition to ED symptoms, and noted this as a possible barrier to app engagement. (4) Conclusion: Use of social media for recruitment of teens with EDs is feasible and may connect with groups who may be more difficult to reach using traditional recruitment methods. Among the Discovery Group there was high acceptability of and interest in an app to support ED recovery, and characteristics of both groups demonstrated need for support in other mental health domains. Future studies should evaluate the preliminary efficacy of such tools among teens to determine the effects of such interventions on ED symptoms and other mental health outcomes.
