Social media in health--what are the safety concerns for health consumers? Luis Fernandez Luque
Social media in health--what are the safety concerns for health consumers? by Lau AY, Gabarron E, Fernandez-Luque L, Armayones M. HIM J. 2012;41(2):30-5. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23705132
Abstract: Recent literature has discussed the unintended consequences of clinical information technologies (IT) on patient safety, yet there has been little discussion about the safety concerns in the area of consumer health IT. This paper
presents a range of safety concerns for consumers in social media, with a case study on YouTube. We conducted a scan of abstracts on ‘quality criteria’ related to YouTube. Five areas regarding the safety of YouTube for consumers were identified: (a) harmful health material targeted at consumers (such as inappropriate marketing of tobacco or direct-to-consumer drug advertising); (b) public display of unhealthy behaviour (such as people displaying self-injury behaviours or hurting others); (c) tainted public health messages (i.e. the rise of negative voices against public health messages); (d) psychological impact from accessing inappropriate, offensive or biased social media content; and (e) using social media to distort policy and research funding agendas. The examples presented should contribute to a better understanding about how to promote a safe consumption and production of social
media for consumers, and an evidence-based approach to designing social media interventions for health. The
potential harm associated with the use of unsafe social media content on the Internet is a major concern. More empirical and theoretical studies are needed to examine how social media influences consumer health decisions, behaviours and outcomes, and devise ways to deter the dissemination of harmful influences in social media.

Understanding Public Perceptions of Immunisation Using Social Media - Project...UN Global Pulse
This project examined how analysis of social media data could be used to understand public perceptions on immunisation. In collaboration with the Ministry of Development Planning (Bappenas), the Ministry of Health, UNICEF and World Health Organisation (WHO) in Indonesia, Pulse Lab Jakarta filtered tweets for relevant conversations about vaccines and immunisation. Findings included identification of perception trends including concerns around religious issues, disease outbreaks, side effects and the launch of a new vaccine. The results built on Global Pulse’s previous explorations in this field, confirming that real-time information derived from social media conversations could complement existing knowledge of public opinion and lead to faster and more effective response to misinformation, since rumours often spread through social networks.

Misinformation and Social Media

FULL TEXT
The Annenberg Public Policy Center issued the following news release:
People who rely on social media for information were more likely to be misinformed about vaccines than those
who rely on traditional media, according to a study of vaccine knowledge and media use by researchers at the
Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University of Pennsylvania.
The study, based on nationally representative surveys of nearly 2,500 U.S. adults, found that up to 20% of
respondents were at least somewhat misinformed about vaccines. Such a high level of misinformation is
"worrying" because misinformation undermines vaccination rates, and high vaccination rates are required to
maintain community immunity, the researchers said.
The study of vaccine misinformation, published in the Harvard Kennedy School Misinformation Review, was
conducted in the spring and fall of 2019, when the United States experienced its largest measles outbreak in a
quarter century. Between the two survey periods, 19% of the respondents' levels of vaccine misinformation
changed in a substantive way - and within that group, almost two-thirds (64%) were more misinformed in the fall
than in the spring.
Media consumption patterns helped to explain the change in misinformation levels, the researchers found. Those
respondents who reported increased exposure to information about measles and the MMR (measles, mumps, and
rubella) vaccine on social media were more likely to grow more misinformed about vaccines. By contrast, those
people who reported an increased exposure to news accounts about those topics in traditional media were more
likely to grow less misinformed about vaccines.
"People who received their information from traditional media were less likely to endorse common anti-vaccination
claims," said lead author Dominik Stecula, a postdoctoral fellow in the science of science communication program
at the Annenberg Public Policy Center (APPC). He co-authored the study with Ozan Kuru, another APPC
postdoctoral fellow, and APPC Director Kathleen Hall Jamieson.
The result is consistent with research suggesting that social media contain a fair amount of misinformation about
vaccination while traditional media are more likely to reflect the scientific consensus on its benefits and safety,
according to the Annenberg researchers.
'Worrying' levels of vaccine misinformation
The researchers found that:
* 18% of respondents mistakenly say that it is very or somewhat accurate to state that vaccines cause autism;
* 15% mistakenly agree that it is very or somewhat accurate to state that vaccines are full of toxins;
* 20% wrongly report that it is very or somewhat accurate to state that it makes no difference whether parents
choose to delay or spread out vac.

Potential of social media as a tool to combat foodborne illnessMarcella Zanellato
Abstract
The use of social media platforms, such as Facebook and Twitter, has been increasing
substantially in recent years and has affected the way that people access information online.
Social media rely on high levels of interaction and user-generated context shared through
established and evolving social networks. Health information providers must know how to
successfully participate through social media in order to meet the needs of these online
audiences. This article reviews the current research on the use of social media for public health
communication and suggests potential frameworks for developing social media strategies. The
extension to food safety risk communication is explored, considering the potential of social
media as a tool to combat foodborne illness.
Evidence
is summarised here regarding the (anti-)vaccination
information on the Internet, and its influence on risk
perceptions and on vaccination intentions and behaviour
in relation to the encoded information.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of predicting sleep quality (ie, poor or adequate sleep efficiency) given the physical activity wearable data during awake time. In this study, we focused on predicting good or poor sleep efficiency as an indicator of sleep quality. Deep learning methods can predict the quality of sleep based on actigraphy data from awake periods. These predictive models can be an important tool for sleep research and to improve eHealth solutions for sleep.
Online Diabetes: Inferring Community Structure in Healthcare Forums. Luis Fernandez Luque
Inferring community structure in healthcare forums. An empirical study by Chomutare T, Arsand E, Fernandez-Luque L, Lauritzen J, Hartvigsen G. Methods Inf Med. 2013;52(2):160-7. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23392282
Abstract
BACKGROUND:
Detecting community structures in complex networks is a problem interesting to several domains. In healthcare, discovering communities may enhance the quality of web offerings for people with chronic diseases. Understanding the social dynamics and community attachments is key to predicting and influencing interaction and information flow to the right patients.
OBJECTIVES:
The goal of the study is to empirically assess the extent to which we can infer meaningful community structures from implicit networks of peer interaction in online healthcare forums.
METHODS:
We used datasets from five online diabetes forums to design networks based on peer-interactions. A quality function based on user interaction similarity was used to assess the quality of the discovered communities to complement existing homophily measures.
RESULTS:
Results show that we can infer meaningful communities by observing forum interactions. Closely similar users tended to co-appear in the top communities, suggesting the discovered communities are intuitive. The number of years since diagnosis was a significant factor for cohesiveness in some diabetes communities.
CONCLUSION:
Network analysis is a tool that can be useful in studying implicit networks that form in healthcare forums. Current analysis informs further work on predicting and influencing interaction, information flow and user interests that could be useful for personalizing medical social media.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

● Remember consider comments, reviews, etc. And
specially what is used by your demographic
