They can also be drawn upon for rapid, survey-based insights into various health topics. Social media has also been utilised by medical professionals for the purposes of sharing scholarly works, international collaboration, and engaging in policy debates. One benefit of using social media platforms to gain insight into health is that they have the ability to capture unfiltered public opinion in large volumes, avoiding the potential biases introduced by surveys or interviews. Social media platforms can also be utilised to pilot surveys, for instance, though the use of Twitter polls. Social media data have also been drawn upon in medical emergencies and crisis situations as a public health surveillance tool. A number of software and online tools also exist, developed specifically to aide public health research utilising social media data. In recent years, ethical issues regarding the retrieval and analysis of data have also arisen.Social Media and Public HealthPublic health & preventive medicinebicsscsocial mediadisordered eating behavioursbody imagefemaleuniversity studentstelemedicinecarbon dioxideair pollutantsvehicle emissionsprimary caremachine learningteleconsultationremote consultationclassificationpublic healthshort videosocial networkTAMcost analysishealth technology assessmentprovider-to-provider telemedicinetelehealtheconomic analysisquestionnaires and surveysvalidation studieshealth personnelelectronic nicotine delivery systemssmokingtwitterpoor doctor-patient relationshiphealthcare consultationmobile contextcomputer-mediated communicationpoint-of-care systemsultrasonographytraffic-related pollutionprimary health careacceptability of health caresurveys and questionnaireshealth communicationSpanish official medical collegesstakeholdersTwittersystemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)network analysistopic modelingtext analysisonline mediavaccinationsocial marketingstrokeprehospital emergency caretrainingstroke codelarge vessel occlusionprehospital scaleshearing losslatent topicLDAsocial Q&ampApublic voicepublic health emergencypolicy evolutionproduct innovationcooperative governanceCOVID-19coronavirusmaskstransmissionPublic health & preventive medicineAhmed Wasimedt1085885Vidal-Alaball JosepedtAhmed WasimothVidal-Alaball JosepothBOOK9910557790503321Social Media and Public Health: Opportunities and Challenges3037164UNINA
