Fear of COVID-19 and Prevention Behaviors: Cross-Lagged Panel Analysis

As a mechanism for behavior change, fear appeals have long been used in public health [5] and justified with behavioral theory constructs of perceived risk or perceived severity, such as within the Health Belief Model [6-8]. Results are mixed on the effectiveness [9] and ethics [10] of fear appeals. Significant literature has emerged on the role of fear of COVID-19 [2,11,12], though somewhat less on fear and its association with prevention behavior [3,8].

Visibility of Board-Certified Dermatologists on TikTok

Social media platforms such as Tik Tok are used by medical and nonmedical professionals to share health information. However, health misinformation spreads more quickly than evidence-based information, posing a public health issue [2]. Our study aimed to categorize popular dermatology-related posts and analyze the visibility of board-certified dermatologists (BCD) on Tik Tok. The methods were designed based on a previous study that examined dermatology content on Instagram by Park et al [3].
