Visibility of Board-Certified Dermatologists on TikTok

Tik Tok is a video-sharing social media platform with over 1.1 billion active users since its launch in 2016 [1]. 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.

Behavioral Analysis of Visitors to a Medical Institution’s Website Using Markov Chain Monte Carlo Methods

Therefore, medical institutions actively using social media are also increasing. However, such actions and study are insufficiently advanced in Japan. Market researchers and social psychologists routinely conduct various consumer behavior analyses based on the AIDMA model to predict factors influencing consumer action and purchase decisions and clarify consumer psychology and internal states [3]. Studies of consumer behavior may be found in areas other than medical institution websites.

Use of Social Media for Cancer Prevention Through Neighborhood Social Cohesion: Protocol for a Feasibility Study

Social cohesion may also impact neighborhood safety [9] or social norms that reduce risky behavior and increase mutual respect, thereby reducing stress [3]. Given the linkages between social cohesion and health outcomes, our study aims to build social cohesion to promote healthy behavior using the social media app Nextdoor. As the prevalence of social media has risen in our society, its use has been studied for health issues such as tobacco use, diet, physical activity, and sexual practices [10].

Digital Health Equity and COVID-19: The Innovation Curve Cannot Reinforce the Social Gradient of Health

Some media commentators [4] have stated that COVID-19 is the “great leveler” because it knows no boundaries and can infect rich and poor, young and old. However, this uncritical perspective misses the systemic factors that impact outcomes of illness and create health inequities between communities and across the life courses of individuals.

Older Adults, the “Social Admission,” and Nonspecific Complaints in the Emergency Department: Protocol for a Scoping Review

Older adults may also present with a combination of acute, chronic, social, or functional issues [17-20]. If diagnostic clarity is lacking or if patients are unable to be safely discharged—but they also do not seemingly require a hospital bed—they are often labelled as a “social admission” [17,19]. Other synonymous labels include “failure to cope/thrive” [13,21]; “community emergencies” [22]; or other colloquial terms based on local hospital policy, culture, or media [19,21].
