Social Media Use in Pediatric Dermatology
À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ
Social Media Use in Pediatric Dermatology PEDIATRIC DERMATOLOGY Fogel, A. L., Teng, J. M. 2016; 33 (2): E131-E133Abstract
Social media is predicted to become increasingly important in dermatology because of its potential to serve as a platform for public health campaigns, aid in participant recruitment for clinical trials, increase public engagement in health care, and facilitate scientific discourse. No study of social media use in pediatric dermatology has been performed, so we analyzed the use of the seven leading social media platforms in pediatric dermatology, with a focus on patient advocacy groups, professional societies, À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ journals, and À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ institutions. We observed that 89% of patient advocacy groups, 100% of professional societies, 62.5% of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ journals, and 0% of academic pediatric dermatology departments maintained one or more social media accounts. Our observations suggest that all stakeholder groups, and in particular members of the À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ community, have the potential to further their engagement, connections, and communications through social media.
