Pew Internet data about mobile internet access, social media, and their implications for health in the US, particularly for HIV/STI advocates. Presented to a workshop at the National Library of Medicine on December 10, 2012.
Clinical research shows that tracking symptoms and other indicators is a low-cost, effective health intervention. The Pew Research Center undertook the first national survey to measure U.S. adults' own health tracking habits and found that they vary according to someone's chronic condition and caregiver status.
This document discusses the importance of social media in healthcare based on statistics about technology use in the US and worldwide. It finds that the vast majority of people in the US own cell phones and use the internet, including watching videos and using social media. Many adults live with chronic health conditions and get health information from various sources. The future of health care is moving towards more user-generated content and greater use of mobile technologies, as clinicians and patients both contribute to online information networks.
E-patients and social media are changing how people access health information and support.
1) More people are going online to research health topics, track health data using apps and devices, and find others who share health concerns through social media.
2) This allows for new forms of caregiving like second opinions, monitoring, and peer support that supplement traditional healthcare.
3) However, physicians can still play important roles as trusted guides who assess online information and help patients take action to improve health outcomes.
The Pew Research Center has collected demographic data for users of Facebook, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Twitter, and Instagram. Susannah Fox crowdsourced examples of health-related uses for each, plus YouTube, blogs, Tumblr, Storify, and Slideshare. Fox will present the data at the Families USA event in Washington, DC, on January 25, 2014.

This document discusses how scientists can effectively communicate with the public in a digital world. It notes that most consumers get their nutrition information from media like websites and local TV rather than directly from scientists. This has led to a disparity between what scientists know and what consumers believe. The document recommends that scientists engage socially online to translate their research for lay audiences in a way that addresses people's existing beliefs, in order to influence public health, policy, and continued research support. Scientists should be social when sharing information, challenging views, or when asked, to help the public form opinions based on scientific evidence rather than misinformation.
This document summarizes the evolution of understanding and approaches to addressing malnutrition over the past 50 years. It began with a focus on treating severe protein deficiency and hunger in the 1950s-1960s. In the 1970s, the importance of multisectoral interventions was recognized. However, these had little impact, leading to a more isolated focus on micronutrients and breastfeeding in the 1980s. Understanding continued evolving in the 1990s-2000s to incorporate the political economy of nutrition and promote biofortified crops. High-level political commitment to addressing undernutrition increased significantly from 2010 onward among international organizations and governments. The book explores lessons learned from different contexts and times on improving nutrition.
Evaluate strategies for improving household nutritional diversity in Maliafrica-rising
Poster prepared by C.M. Sobgui, H. Diarra, P. Coulibaly, J.B. Tignegre and A. Tenkouano for the AfrIca RISING West Africa Review and Planning Meeting, Accra, 30 March–1 April 2016
REMARKABLE IMPROVEMENTS IN welfare and human development indicators in Bangladesh—including a notable reduction in the poverty headcount—have accompanied recent economic growth.1 Some aspects of nutrition have been part of this success story. For example, the percentage of underweight children declined by 1.1 percent per year and stunting rates declined by 1.3 percent per year between 1997 and 2007.2 And this trend has continued, with rates of child stunting falling to 36 percent in 2014 (Figure 12.1). Other countries may have experienced shorter, quicker reductions, but the Bangladesh story reflects “one of the fastest prolonged reductions in child underweight and stunting prevalence in recorded history.
Reasons to Improve the School Lunch System AnhLe496
The document discusses challenges with the school lunch program in the US, including very tight budgets that make it difficult to provide nutritious ingredients for $1.30 per student. Around half a million students who rely on the SNAP program to receive food stamps may lose automatic eligibility for free school lunches under recent proposals. Poor nutrition from foods like expired milk, frozen meals and those high in saturated fats can negatively impact students' ability to learn and behave in class. The document also presents alternatives to improve school lunches by using locally grown ingredients, serving meals made from scratch, establishing school gardens, and educating students on nutrition.
The podcast aimed to highlight daily struggles with food insecurity. A pre-survey led to modifications. A post-survey with 5 Likert scale questions quantitatively analyzed the podcast's effectiveness in educating the public and reducing stigma around food insecurity issues. The survey found high positive responses, indicating the podcast successfully increased awareness and decreased stigma.
MORE THAN 660 million people lack access to an improved water source and 2.4 billion people lack access to improved sanitation. Growing awareness of the global challenge we face in improving water, sanitation, and hygiene, widely known as WASH, has gained the problem a prominent place on global nutrition and health agendas. And an expanding body of research points to the great potential of WASH, as a set of interventions, to improve nutrition and health. For example, systematic reviews have shown that improving water quality can reduce the risk of diarrhea by 17 percent; and introducing hand hygiene interventions can reduce gastrointestinal by 31 percent and respiratory illness by 21 percent
VIETNAM HAS MADE dramatic progress in improving nutrition over the past three decades. Following the introduction of Vietnam’s Doi Moi (“renovation”) economic policies in 1986, the country’s economic performance began to improve rapidly. By the 1990s, Vietnam was among the fastest growing economies in the world. From one of the five poorest countries in the world in 1984, Vietnam rose to a rank of 167 out of 206 by 1999. As the country transitioned to a market-oriented economy, rapid economic growth was accompanied by a similarly dramatic decline in the poverty rate, which fell from nearly 75 percent of the population in 1984, to 58 percent in 1993, and down to 37 percent by 1998. Economic growth enabled the country to provide improved health services, which contributed directly to reductions in child malnutrition.
This document summarizes a study analyzing discussions around Australian food security issues on social media. It outlines the research design which collected over 167,000 tweets from 2014 on various food security topics, and an additional 6,688 tweets around a frozen berry contamination event. The analysis identified key topics through natural language processing and charted their diffusion over time. It concludes that Australians engage in "monitory democracy" through social media by raising issues in response to events and making claims based on shared experiences rather than just expertise.
The document discusses the use of social media by pharmaceutical companies. It finds that people are increasingly using the internet as a source for health information and are willing to share health-related content online. While pharmaceutical companies have been cautious about social media engagement due to regulations, the document argues that a dedicated health website or social media presence could help companies connect with patients and provide health information that influences patients' healthcare. It recommends that pharmaceutical companies develop high-quality health websites and leverage people's openness to sharing online to better engage with communities.

ODISHA, A STATE of 42 million people in eastern India, is one of the poorest in the country. It has faced many development challenges over the years, including insurgent movements, large pockets of extreme deprivation among scheduled tribe communities, social disparities, and natural disasters, as well as a relatively late fiscal turnaround (in 2004–2005) in comparison with other states. Yet Odisha has made significant progress in reducing child undernutrition—less than India as a whole, but more than many other richer states. How has it achieved this progress?
A Call for Research Exploring Social Media Influences on Mother's Child Feedi...Elizabeth (Lisa) Gardner
This document calls for research on how social media influences mothers' child feeding practices and childhood obesity risk. It suggests that mothers are uniquely important targets for social media interventions aimed at childhood obesity prevention due to their influence on children's eating behaviors and high engagement with social media. The document recommends exploring how mothers currently use social media to learn about child feeding, and the mechanisms through which social media impacts their practices. Understanding mothers' social media behaviors and needs related to child feeding could help develop effective social media interventions for obesity prevention.
OVER THE PAST 25 years, Ethiopia has made remarkable headway in addressing the country’s nutrition situation. Despite ongoing challenges, significant progress has been made toward meeting the United Nations Millennium Development Goals, including halving child mortality, doubling the number of people with access to clean water, and quadrupling primary school enrollment. Ethiopia is also on track to eradicate extreme hunger and poverty. The country was one of the top five performing countries in the 2000s in terms of reducing stunting by reducing its prevalence from 57.4 percent in 2000 to 44.2 percent in 2011, although levels remained high at 40.0 percent in 2014.2 The same 2014 Demographic and Health Survey found that a further 9 percent of children younger than 5 years old experience wasting, and only 4 percent of children meet the standards for a minimal acceptable diet (a World Health Organization [WHO]/UNICEF indicator for complementary feeding).3 Significant regional differences persist, with the highest rates of stunting (52 percent) found in Amhara and the lowest found in Gambela (27 percent) and Addis Ababa (22 percent). Overall, stunting is more prevalent in rural (46 percent) than in urban areas (36 percent).
The Future Thought Leaders panel discussions of 2017 kicked off on April 21st at Oceanside’s Star Theatre. Labor leader Dolores Huerta and Food Democracy Now! founder Dave Murphy were among the distinguished panelists who weighed in on access to affordable and nutritious food at all economic levels.
In 2010, Health Partners launched PowerUp to help reduce childhood obesity through community partnerships and programs promoting healthy eating and active lifestyles. PowerUp aims to positively influence children, families, and communities. It provides resources and messaging around eating fruits and vegetables, limiting screen time, and engaging in active play. Childhood obesity has more than doubled, with both immediate and long term health risks. PowerUp has reached over 20,000 children and families through school and community events. Evaluation shows changes to foods offered and physical activities at schools.

This document provides an overview of free authoritative health websites. It begins by noting that 80% of internet users look online for health information. It then summarizes several Pew Internet reports on trends in online health information seeking. The document proceeds to discuss important criteria for evaluating health websites, such as who runs the site and funds it, the qualifications of authors, the intended audience, timeliness of information, and potential biases. It concludes by recommending several high-quality health websites run by the National Library of Medicine and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that meet strict evaluation criteria. These include MedlinePlus, ToxTown, and clinicaltrials.gov.
U.S. adults living with chronic disease are significantly less likely than healthy adults to have access to the internet (62% vs. 81%). The internet access gap creates an online health information gap. However, lack of internet access, not lack of interest in the topic, is the primary reason for the difference. Once online, having a chronic disease increases the probability that someone will take advantage of social media to share what they know and learn from their peers.

The document discusses the rise of e-patients and how social networks and online health information seeking has changed. It notes three revolutions: 1) the Internet and broadband, 2) wireless connectivity, and 3) social networking. These have empowered patients and made health information more participatory, crowd-sourced, and accessible anywhere via any device. Online searches often affect medical decisions. Social networks provide emotional support and quick remedies while experts are best for accurate diagnoses and treatment information. Most people report being helped rather than harmed by following online health advice.
This document summarizes several studies on health information seeking online:
1) A 2002 study found 80% of online adults look for health information online, amounting to 110 million people. Most (53%) use search engines to find information across sites.
2) A 2006 study found 80% of online Americans search for health information daily, with 66% starting on search engines like Google. Many feel more confident in decisions after searching.
3) A 2005-2007 Europe-wide study found internet health users increased from 44% to 54%. The growth occurred across all countries. The internet will be important for future healthcare.
Millennials are driving trends in mobile health as digital natives who rely on technologies like social media, texting, and apps. Hospitals are using portals, telemedicine, and remote monitoring to engage patients. However, many patients do not use portals due to lack of awareness or complex interfaces. Texting shows promise for improving outcomes through appointment reminders and health messages. Apps and games also motivate patients, especially for conditions like diabetes. Overall, mobile technologies allow more convenient, engaged, and proactive healthcare management.

Health and Technology Megatrends for #SBM2019Susannah Fox
This document discusses health trends related to technology and social media. It provides statistics on social media usage among various demographic groups in the U.S. A large percentage of teens and young adults use platforms like YouTube, Instagram and Snapchat. The document also finds that over 60% of teens and young adults in the U.S. have read about other people's health experiences online, and one-third have successfully connected with health peers online, with 91% finding it helpful. Examples of positive and negative experiences with social media in relation to health are provided from surveys.
This document summarizes a presentation about using social media for public health campaigns. It defines social media and provides examples of how organizations are using popular tools like Facebook and Twitter. It then describes the "Baby and Me" campaign aimed at improving birth outcomes for at-risk groups in Newark. The campaign goals, target audiences, and current status launching online and social media presences are outlined. Resources for learning more about using social media for nonprofits are also listed.
This document discusses Women's Health Queensland Wide's use of social media and information technology to engage with women and promote healthy decision making. It provides an overview of their previous use of IT, a literature review on using social media for health promotion and with different age groups/genders. It outlines Women's Health Queensland Wide's mission and services, defines social media and IT, describes their current use of platforms like Facebook, YouTube and their website, and lessons learned from their social media strategy.
This document presents a group project on addressing the issue of household food insecurity among Aboriginal families in Toronto. It begins with an introduction by Annie Cheng and is followed by sections led by other group members on questions and findings, an action plan by Chen Ouyang, a presentation of their Facebook page by Kelly Li, and a concluding question section. Statistics are provided showing Aboriginal families experience higher rates of food insecurity in Canada compared to non-Aboriginal families. The group's action plan involves visiting local agencies, creating an awareness campaign on Facebook, and engaging stakeholders to address the issue and support programs that provide nutrition to Aboriginal children and families.

This document discusses the current impact of social media on healthcare social work. It notes that most adults are online and use the internet to find health information. Social media allows for peer-to-peer health connections as people share their health experiences and connect with others dealing with similar conditions. However, privacy is a major concern, especially with the rise of photo and video sharing social networks. The document examines how social workers can navigate these new trends, such as being aware of privacy issues and refraining from befriending patients on social media. It also explores how social media enables patient advocacy and education.
Higher rates of childhood obesity exist among black and Hispanic children compared to white children. Obesity rates are 25.8% for Hispanic children and 22.0% for black children, versus 14.1% for white children. This difference may be due to socioeconomic factors, as minority and lower-income communities often have less access to healthy foods and opportunities for physical activity. Possible solutions include maintaining nutrition assistance programs, increasing healthy food access in underserved areas, and raising nutritional standards in schools.
This document discusses Goal 2 of the UN Sustainable Development Goals, which is to end hunger by 2030. It provides statistics on the current state of global hunger, including that nearly 690 million people are undernourished and 2 billion lack regular access to sufficient nutritious food. The document also discusses how hunger disproportionately impacts children and regions in Asia and Africa. It explores ways individuals can get involved locally to address hunger through volunteering, donations, and use of social media applications like ShareTheMeal.
An estimated 5.3 million Americans had Alzheimer's disease in 2015, and this number is projected to rise to 16 million by 2050 without a cure. Older African Americans have twice the risk of Alzheimer's as older whites, and Hispanics have one and a half times the risk. Healthy lifestyle habits like a nutritious diet, daily exercise, and sufficient deep sleep can help prevent memory disorders. However, many Americans have unhealthy eating patterns with too many added sugars, saturated fats, and too few nutrients. Additionally, one third of adults do not get enough sleep.
The document discusses using social media technologies to help manage obesity at the national and regional level. It aims to explain why obesity is considered a disease, understand social media in healthcare, discuss how social media can help with obesity management, and explore trends in technology ownership and apps that track health data. Several studies on using apps and social networks to track exercise, food intake, and combine gamification are summarized.

Lee Rainie, director of Internet, Science and Technology research at the Pew Research Center, discussed his group’s latest findings about the role of libraries and librarians on April 3 at Innovative Users Group conference. The latest work shows that many people struggle to find the most trustworthy information and they express a clear hope that librarians can help them. He explored recent research about how people are becoming “lifelong learners” and that library services are an element of how they hope to stay relevant in their jobs, as well as find ways to enrich their lives. He drew on Pew Research Center studies about the information and media sources people use and how they decide what to trust.
The survey found that many Americans see libraries as important community institutions that provide educational resources and promote learning. While library usage has remained steady, people are increasingly using library digital resources. The survey also identified different segments of the population based on their orientation to and trust in information sources. Most see libraries as helping to find trustworthy information and see them coordinating more closely with schools. There is strong support for libraries offering digital skills programs and early literacy programs.
The document summarizes four digital technology revolutions that have impacted politics and media:
1) The Internet revolution increased internet usage from 1% in 2000 to over 90% today, skewing younger, more educated, and urban.
2) The mobile revolution increased cell phone ownership, especially smartphones, from 29% in 2011 to over 95% in 2016.
3) The social media revolution grew major platforms from 5-15% usage in 2012 to 67-79% in 2016.
4) These changes networked people, information, the public square, and the political ecosystem, making it easier for individuals and groups to organize but also increasing ideological and affective polarization between parties.

The Indian government has been working over the past few years to include elements of ITS in the transport sector. This standard ensures the optimal operation of the current transport infrastructure. It also increases the efficiency, safety, comfort, and quality of the system. That is why the government created the AIS-140 standard. Compliance with this standard means all vehicles used for public transit must have panic buttons and vehicle tracking modules installed. Nevertheless, in future in the standard protocol of AIS-140 you can expect fare collection and CCTV capabilities.
