A pandemia e a reformulação de um projeto de extensão sobre educação em saúde bucal: relato de um ano de experiência com mídias sociais / The pandemic and the reformulation of an extension project about oral health education: report of a year of experience with social media

O objetivo deste artigo é relatar a experiência de um ano, do projeto de extensão Sorriso Saudável Futuro Brilhante, do Departamento de Odontologia da Universidade Estadual de Maringá, cujas atividades, antes puramente presenciais, em decorrência da pandemia, foram adaptadas à forma remota. Para evitar a interrupção das atividades de educação e promoção de saúde junto à comunidade e também manter os participantes motivados, foram utilizados os meios eletrônicos. A equipe, composta por 16 acadêmicos coordenados por um docente, dividiu-se em 4 grupos (G1: produção de material digital informativo; G2: arrecadação e repasse de doações para ações externas; G3:gerenciamento da rede social e divulgação das atividades; G4: produção de conteúdo científico). As ações e o conteúdo eram publicados na página do Instagram. Também foram organizados dois eventos dirigidos à comunidade odontológica. A comunicação professor/aluno ficou mais fácil com a criação do grupo de WhatsApp, e o perfil no Instagramalcançou mais de 900 seguidores em um ano, rompendo fronteiras para a divulgação dos conteúdos. Os eventos foram realizados de forma gratuita, online, com palestrantes nacionais e internacionais e participantes de diversos estados brasileiros, obtendo forte repercussão no âmbito acadêmico. Conclui-se que, embora as atividades remotas não substituam as presenciais, o novo formato do projeto se mostrou inovador, dinâmico e proveitoso para todos os envolvidos, além de apresentar baixo custo e grande potencial de abrangência, podendo funcionar de forma independente ou ainda somar-se às atividades presenciais do projeto, em ações futuras, quando a pandemia chegar ao fim (AU).

The objective of this article is reportthe one-year experience of the Sorriso Saudável Futuro Brilhante extension project, from the Department of Dentistry of the State University of Maringá, whose activities, previously purely face-to-face, as a result of the pandemic, were adapted to the remote form. In order to avoid the interruption of education and health promotion activities in the community and also to keep the participants motivated, electronic means were used. The team, composed of 16 academics coordinated by a professor, was divided into 4 groups (G1: production of informative digital material; G2: collection and transfer of donations for external actions; G3: social network management and dissemination of activities; G4: production of scientific content). Actions and content were posted on the Instagram page. Two events aimed at the dental community were also organized. Teacher/student communication became easier with the creation of the WhatsApp group, and the Instagram profilereached more than 900 followers in one year, breaking boundaries for the dissemination of content. The events were held free of charge, online, with national and international speakers and participants from several Brazilian states, with strong repercussions in the academic sphere. It is concluded that, althoughremote activities do not replace face-to-face activities, the new project format proved to be innovative, dynamic and beneficial for all involved, in addition to presenting low cost and great potential for coverage, being able to work independently or even add to face-to-face project activities, in future actions, when the pandemic comes to an end (AU).

Relato de experiência no ensino da Dentística com base em metodologias ativas de ensino-aprendizagem: gamificação e práticas lúdicas / Experience report in teaching Dentistry based on active teaching-learning methodologies: gamification and ludic practices

The aim of this study was to demonstrate a teaching-learning process of a ludic nature and student engagement, in a dental graduation course, at a time when the transition in the teaching of subjects is taking place. The basic cycle will be highlighted by walking through the laboratoryenvironment. Even the clinical care of patients will be considered beyond the level of mere technical training. In higher education, learning fragmented by subjects and areas of specialization prevails, and there is no connection between laboratory and clinical purposes. The application of two tools, with the contribution of Active Methods of Teaching and Learning (AMTL), became a report of successful teaching experience in Dentistry, namely: (1) three-dimensional demonstration of the formation of cavities with accessible materials, based on painting the cavity walls and angles of plaster macromodels with gouache paint, representing intracoronal and partial extracoronal (onlay) preparations; and (2) gamification, by means of projecting the images of puzzle of different types of cavity preparations. The use of resources based on the AMTL has shown promising results, by interconnecting areas of teaching dentistry, seen as dichotomous, theoretical and practical, basic and clinical teaching, as well as promoting the awakening, adherence and development of students' manual skills (AU).

Use of Facebook as a pedagogical tool foruniversity education: student adherenceand reactions / Uso do Facebook como ferramenta pedagógica para o ensino superior: adesão e reações dos estudantes

This study aimed to analyze Facebook's use as a pedagogical tool for teaching didactics for graduate students in Dentistry. Seventy-two adult students participated in this study. These students attended theoretical classes, developed practical activities by Facebook, and evaluated the course through a questionnaire. Tasks were analyzed concerning the following criteria: time torespond to assignments and whether they have been finished or not. Additionally, post type and students' reactions to posts were also evaluated. Forty-three (59.8%) students have considered Facebook as a good pedagogical resource. Only 5 (22%) students answered that they had some difficulty in responding to the assignments of the course through Facebook. Most students completed their tasks through Facebook. However, in general, most students only fulfilled the assignments close to the deadline. The main reactions of the students were likes and comments. Despite its limitations, Facebook seems to be a great pedagogical resource to be inserted in post-graduate education. In addition, the students still show little participation even being in the virtual environment of Facebook (AU).

O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar a utilização do Facebook como ferramenta pedagógica para o ensino de didática para alunos de graduação em Odontologia. Setenta e dois alunos adultos participaram da pesquisa. Esses alunos participaram de aulas teóricas, desenvolveram atividades práticas no Facebook e avaliaram o curso por meio de um questionário. As tarefas foram analisadas em relação aos seguintes critérios: tempo para responder às atividades e se elas foram realizadas de forma completa ou incompleta. Além disso, os tipos de postagens e as reações dos alunos às postagens também foram avaliados. Quarenta e três (59,8%) alunos consideraram o Facebook um bom recurso pedagógico. Apenas 5 (22%) alunos responderam que tiveram alguma dificuldade em responder às atividades do curso pelo Facebook. A maioria dos alunos concluiu suas tarefas por meio do Facebook. No entanto, em geral, a maioria dos alunos só cumpriu astarefas perto do prazo. As principais reações dos alunos foram curtidas e comentários. Apesar de suas limitações, o Facebook parece ser um grande recurso pedagógico a ser inserido na pós-graduação. Além disso, os alunos ainda se mostram pouco participativos mesmo estando no ambiente virtual do Facebook (AU).

Toward Better Data Dashboards for US Drug Value Assessments.

OBJECTIVES: To explore the use of data dashboards to convey information about a drug's value, and reduce the need to collapse dimensions of value to a single measure. METHODS: Review of the literature on US Drug Value Assessment Frameworks, and discussion of the value of data dashboards to improve the manner in which information on value is displayed. RESULTS: The incremental cost per quality-adjusted life-year ratio is a useful starting point for conversation about a drug's value, but it cannot reflect all of the elements of value about which different audiences care deeply. Data dashboards for drug value assessments can draw from other contexts. Decision makers should be presented with well-designed value dashboards containing various metrics, including conventional cost per quality-adjusted life-year ratios as well as measures of a drug's impact on clinical and patient-centric outcomes, and on budgetary and distributional consequences, to convey a drug's value along different dimensions. CONCLUSIONS: The advent of US drug value frameworks in health care has forced a concomitant effort to develop appropriate information displays. Researchers should formally test different formats and elements.

Evaluation of quality and reliability of YouTube videos on female urinary incontinence.

OBJECTIVES: Women often feel embarrassed about urinary incontinence, hesitate to see a doctor and search the internet to gain information on the disease. The objective of this study was to evaluate the quality of the most viewed YouTube™ pertaining to female urinary incontinence. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Sixty videos that met the inclusion criteria were assessed by two urologists through Quality Criteria for Consumer Health Information (DISCERN), Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) and Video Power Index (VPI) scoring systems. Videos' image type, video uploaders, general content, length, view counts, date of uploading, comment, like and dislike counts were also recorded and analyzed. RESULTS: Forty videos included real and 20 animation images. Nine videos were uploaded directly by physicians, 32 videos by health channels, 14 videos by hospital channels, 2 videos by herbalists and 3 videos by other sources. The mean comment, like and dislike counts of the videos were found as 49.4 ± 172.9, 642.5 ± 2,112.9 and 66.7 ± 192.4. The mean DISCERN score was found as 38.2 ± 11.5, JAMA score as 1.4 ± 0.6 and VPI score as 85.1 ± 12.1. There was no significant difference between physicians and non-physicians and between real and animated videos in terms of DISCERN and JAMA scores (p>0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The quality of the videos on YouTube™ pertaining to female urinary incontinence was at an average level. Healthcare professionals should be encouraged for uploading more accurate quality health related contents. Policy makers should develop policies for supervision of the videos uploaded on the internet.

Effects of pulmonary rehabilitation training based on WeChat App on pulmonary function, adverse mood and quality of life of COVID-19 patients: A protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis.

BACKGROUND: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) as a fatal epidemic has swept across the world, especially in India where the epidemic situation is the most serious. For COVID-19 patients, pulmonary rehabilitation training plays a significant role. However, it is still a controversial issue regarding the efficacy of WeChat APP-based pulmonary rehabilitation training in improving lung function, quality of life and bad mood of COVID-19 patients. To clarify this issue, a meta-analysis was conducted in this present study, so as to provide a basis for rehabilitation guidance of COVID-19 patients. METHODS: We systematically searched PubMed, medRxiv, Web of Science, Scopus, Chinese Science Citation Database, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, Chinese Scientific Journal Database, and Wan-fang databases in May 2021 to identify randomized controlled trials and evaluate the effects of WeChat APP-based pulmonary rehabilitation training for COVID-19. Two researchers independently carried out data extraction. On the other hand, literature quality evaluation on the quality and meta-analysis of the included literature was performed with Revman5.3 software. RESULTS: The results of this meta-analysis will be submitted to a peer-reviewed journal for publication. CONCLUSION: This study will provide reliable evidence-based evidence on the effects of WeChat APP-based pulmonary rehabilitation training on lung function, bad mood, and quality of life in patients with COVID-19. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: Ethical approval was not required for this study. The systematic review will be published in a peer-reviewed journal, presented at conferences, and shared on social media platforms. OSF REGISTRATION NUMBER: DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/MKXCH.

Youtube videos as an information source about urinary incontinence.

AIM: Youtube is one of the most popular video-sharing websites, and people use Youtube as a source of information. Patients with urinary incontinence may seek information about their condition on Youtube. This study aims to assess the videos on Youtube about urinary incontinence and evaluate the information regarding whether patients can understand and/or act accordingly. METHODS: We performed a Youtube search with the keywords of "incontinence," "urinary incontinence," and "overactive bladder" in the English language with the incognito mode on the browser. All links were extracted and recorded in an excel file. Duplicated links were removed, and metadata of the videos were collected. A custom python language script was used to perform this operation. We selected the most viewed 150 videos for the assessment. After removing the non-related videos, 112 of them were included in the study. Two researchers separately evaluated all the videos with the Patients Education Material Assessment Tool (PEMAT, audiovisual version). RESULTS: The total duration of all included (n:112) videos was 12.6 hours, and these videos had been watched 37,332,178 times until the query date. The vast majority of the videos were about information, management, and treatment options (Kegel exercises, surgery modalities) of incontinence, individual experiences of patients with incontinence, commercials about the diapers, and healthcare professionals who wanted to introduce themselves or their services. Mean understandability and actionability scores of the videos were 57.9% and, 44.7% respectively. Our analysis showed that only 12.5% of the videos on Youtube related to incontinence were understandable, as well as actionable, in terms of PEMAT scores. CONCLUSION: According to our study, 87.5% of the videos about incontinence on Youtube.com in the English language were not understandable and actionable for users. Development of high-quality content about incontinence is needed.

Delivering eye health education to deprived communities in India through a social media-based innovation.

In this article, Chandrani Maitra, with her supervisor, Prof. Jennifer Rowley, reports on her PhD research conducted at Manchester Metropolitan University. This research aimed to develop understanding of the benefits of, and the challenges associated with the use of social media to disseminate eye health information in deprived communities in India. Such communities typically have a low level of access to health information, as the result of poor literacy, poverty, lack of women's empowerment, cultural practices, society dynamics, and medical malpractice. This study used an intervention based on the social media platform, WhatsApp, to educate a group of women volunteers so that they were able to contribute to the management of the eye health of their family, friends, and neighbours. Interviews were conducted with deprived community members (DCMs), community healthcare advocates (CHAs) and, healthcare professionals (HCPs). The DCMs reported a number of benefits associated with their participation in the eye health intervention. CHAs and HCPs agreed that an extended roll out of the intervention had potential to deliver benefits, but expressed concerns that some of the ongoing social challenges facing deprived communities might act as barriers to progress.

Optimizing the use of twitter for research dissemination: The "Three Facts and a Story" randomized-controlled trial.

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Published research promoted on twitter reaches more readers. Tweets with graphics are more engaging than those without. However, data are limited regarding how to optimize multimedia tweets for engagement. METHODS: The "Three facts and a Story" trial is a randomized-controlled trial comparing a tweet featuring a graphical abstract to paired tweets featuring the personal motivations behind the research and a summary of the findings. Fifty-four studies published by the Journal of Hepatology were randomized at the time of online publication. The primary endpoint was assessed at 28-days from online publication with a primary outcome of full-text downloads from the website. Secondary outcomes included page views and twitter engagement including impressions, likes, and retweets. RESULTS: Overall, 31 studies received standard tweets and 23 received story tweets. Five studies were randomized to story tweets but crossed over to standard tweets for lack of author participation. Most papers tweeted were original articles (94% standard, 91% story) and clinical topics (55% standard, 61% story). Story tweets were associated with a significant increase in the number of full text downloads, 51 (34-71) vs. 25 (13-41), p = 0.002. There was also a non-significant increase in the number of page views. Story tweets generated an average of >1,000 more impressions than standard tweets (5,388 vs. 4,280, p = 0.002). Story tweets were associated with a similar number of retweets, and a non-significant increase in the number of likes. CONCLUSION: Tweets featuring the authors and their motivations may increase engagement with published research.

An Observational Study in Manipur State, India on Preventive Behavior Influenced by Social Media During the COVID-19 Pandemic Mediated by Cyberchondria and Information Overload.

OBJECTIVES: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is a public health emergency posing unprecedented challenges for health authorities. Social media may serve as an effective platform to disseminate health-related information. This study aimed to assess the extent of social media use, its impact on preventive behavior, and negative health effects such as cyberchondria and information overload. METHODS: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted between June 10, 2020 and August 9, 2020 among people visiting the outpatient department of the authors' institution, and participants were also recruited during field visits for an awareness drive. Questions were developed on preventive behavior, and the Short Cyberchondria Scale and instruments dealing with information overload and perceived vulnerability were used. RESULTS: The study recruited 767 participants with a mean age of about 45 years. Most of the participants (>90%) engaged in preventive behaviors, which were influenced by the extent of information received through social media platforms (ß=3.297; p<0.001) and awareness of infection when a family member tested positive (ß=29.082; p<0.001) or a neighbor tested positive (ß=27.964; p<0.001). The majority (63.0%) of individuals often searched for COVID-19 related news on social media platforms. The mean±standard deviation scores for cyberchondria and information overload were 9.09±4.05 and 8.69±2.56, respectively. Significant and moderately strong correlations were found between cyberchondria, information overload, and perceived vulnerability to COVID-19. CONCLUSIONS: This study provides evidence that the use of social media as an information- seeking platform altered preventive behavior. However, excessive and misleading information resulted in cyberchondria and information overload.

Electronic Cigarette Users' Perspective on the COVID-19 Pandemic: Observational Study Using Twitter Data.

BACKGROUND: Previous studies have shown that electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) users might be more vulnerable to COVID-19 infection and could develop more severe symptoms if they contract the disease owing to their impaired immune responses to viral infections. Social media platforms such as Twitter have been widely used by individuals worldwide to express their responses to the current COVID-19 pandemic. OBJECTIVE: In this study, we aimed to examine the longitudinal changes in the attitudes of Twitter users who used e-cigarettes toward the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as compare differences in attitudes between e-cigarette users and nonusers based on Twitter data. METHODS: The study dataset containing COVID-19-related Twitter posts (tweets) posted between March 5 and April 3, 2020, was collected using a Twitter streaming application programming interface with COVID-19-related keywords. Twitter users were classified into two groups: Ecig group, including users who did not have commercial accounts but posted e-cigarette-related tweets between May 2019 and August 2019, and non-Ecig group, including users who did not post any e-cigarette-related tweets. Sentiment analysis was performed to compare sentiment scores towards the COVID-19 pandemic between both groups and determine whether the sentiment expressed was positive, negative, or neutral. Topic modeling was performed to compare the main topics discussed between the groups. RESULTS: The US COVID-19 dataset consisted of 4,500,248 COVID-19-related tweets collected from 187,399 unique Twitter users in the Ecig group and 11,479,773 COVID-19-related tweets collected from 2,511,659 unique Twitter users in the non-Ecig group. Sentiment analysis showed that Ecig group users had more negative sentiment scores than non-Ecig group users. Results from topic modeling indicated that Ecig group users had more concerns about deaths due to COVID-19, whereas non-Ecig group users cared more about the government's responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings show that Twitter users who tweeted about e-cigarettes had more concerns about the COVID-19 pandemic. These findings can inform public health practitioners to use social media platforms such as Twitter for timely monitoring of public responses to the COVID-19 pandemic and educating and encouraging current e-cigarette users to quit vaping to minimize the risks associated with COVID-19.

Information behaviour of the millennial generation: a scoping review of medical residents and their use of social media.

BACKGROUND: Medical residents can offer ideas for new information services, as most of them are 'digital natives', although reviews of the use of social media in health care settings do not provide data on their information behaviour. OBJECTIVE: A scoping review aimed at providing a research map for the information behaviour of medical residents and their use of social media, listing the aspects of the information behaviour studied and the theories and methods used. METHODS: A search was carried out in pubmed, embase, cinahl and lisa in April of 2018, with the results limited to the period from 2010 onwards. RESULTS: Thirty-nine relevant articles from 38 different studies were identified. The presence and use of social media was the most researched aspect, followed by information sharing, the relationships established and, finally, the search for and use of information. These aspects are researched mainly from the point of view of doctor-patient interactions. Only one study incorporated a theory of its design. Surveys were the most frequently used method. CONCLUSION: Research does not delve into medical residents' information behaviour on social media, despite the residents themselves using these media (in the context of everyday life, at least). More research is required.

Good practices in harnessing social media for scholarly discourse, knowledge translation, and education.

INTRODUCTION: There still remains a gap between those who conduct science and those who engage in educating others about health sciences through various forms of social media. Few empirical studies have sought to define useful practices for engaging in social media for academic use in the health professions. Given the increasing importance of these platforms, we sought to define good practices and potential pitfalls with help of those respected for their work in this new field. METHODS: We conducted a qualitative study, guided by constructivist grounded theory principles, of 17 emerging experts in the field of academic social media. We engaged in a snowball sampling technique and conducted a series of semi-structured interviews. The analytic team consisted of a diverse group of researchers with a range of experience in social media. RESULTS: Understanding the strengths of various platforms was deemed to be of critical importance across all the participants. Key to building online engagement were the following: 1) Culture-building strategies; 2) Tailoring the message; 3) Responsiveness; and 4) Heeding rules of online engagement. Several points of caution were noted within our participants' interviews. These were grouped into caveat emptor and the need for critical appraisal, and common pitfalls when broadcasting one's self. DISCUSSION: Our participants were able to share a number of key practices that are central to developing and sharing educational content via social media. The findings from the study may guide future practitioners seeking to enter the space. These good practices support professionals for effective engagement and knowledge translation without being harmed.

How Health Care Workers Wield Influence Through Twitter Hashtags: Retrospective Cross-sectional Study of the Gun Violence and COVID-19 Public Health Crises.

BACKGROUND: Twitter has emerged as a novel way for physicians to share ideas and advocate for policy change. #ThisIsOurLane (firearm injury) and #GetUsPPE (COVID-19) are examples of nationwide health care-led Twitter campaigns that went viral. Health care-initiated Twitter hashtags regarding major public health topics have gained national attention, but their content has not been systematically examined. OBJECTIVE: We hypothesized that Twitter discourse on two epidemics (firearm injury and COVID-19) would differ between tweets with health care-initiated hashtags (#ThisIsOurLane and #GetUsPPE) versus those with non-health care-initiated hashtags (#GunViolence and #COVID19). METHODS: Using natural language processing, we compared content, affect, and authorship of a random 1% of tweets using #ThisIsOurLane (Nov 2018-Oct 2019) and #GetUsPPE (March-May 2020), compared to #GunViolence and #COVID19 tweets, respectively. We extracted the relative frequency of single words and phrases and created two sets of features: (1) an open-vocabulary feature set to create 50 data-driven-determined word clusters to evaluate the content of tweets; and (2) a closed-vocabulary feature for psycholinguistic categorization among case and comparator tweets. In accordance with conventional linguistic analysis, we used a P<.001, after adjusting for multiple comparisons using the Bonferroni correction, to identify potentially meaningful correlations between language features and outcomes. RESULTS: In total, 67% (n=4828) of #ThisIsOurLane tweets and 36.6% (n=7907) of #GetUsPPE tweets were authored by health care professionals, compared to 16% (n=1152) of #GunViolence and 9.8% (n=2117) of #COVID19 tweets. Tweets using #ThisIsOurLane and #GetUsPPE were more likely to contain health care-specific language; more language denoting positive emotions, affiliation, and group identity; and more action-oriented content compared to tweets with #GunViolence or #COVID19, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Tweets with health care-led hashtags expressed more positivity and more action-oriented language than the comparison hashtags. As social media is increasingly used for news discourse, public education, and grassroots organizing, the public health community can take advantage of social media's broad reach to amplify truthful, actionable messages around public health issues.

The nurse influencer: A concept synthesis and analysis.

AIM: The purpose of this paper is to provide a clear definition of the concept of a nurse influencer. BACKGROUND: While the nursing profession is known for caring, advocacy, and trustworthiness, the nurse influencer is an emerging concept in health care. Clarification of this concept is essential to understand the necessary characteristics and potential opportunities for the nurse influencer. METHODS: Walker and Avant's method of concept synthesis and analysis was used. RESULTS: With time, self-efficacy, and a measurable intention, a nurse can become a nurse influencer. A nurse influencer is a nurse who has a platform to affect change through demonstrating integrity, a dedication to learning, and excellent communication of ideas and information. In addition to creating change, the nurse influencer may also disseminate knowledge and generate empowerment for themselves and others. CONCLUSION: This concept analysis, the first focusing on the nurse influencer, provides an explanation of this concept and a concept map of the nurse influencer's attributes and contributions.

O distanciamento social em tempos de Covid-19: uma análise de seus rebatimentos em torno da violência doméstica / Social distancing in times of Covid-19: an analysis of its effects on domestic violence / El distanciamiento social en tiempos de Covid-19: un análisis de sus implicaciones alrededor de la violencia doméstica

O objetivo do presente artigo foi analisar os rebatimentos do distanciamento social em tempos de Covid-19 em torno da violência doméstica. Trata-se de um estudo documental com abordagem qualitativa feito por meio do conteúdo de notícias disponíveis em quatro jornais on-line de circulação nacional. Foram incluídas notícias publicadas entre 20 de março e 25 de abril de 2020 com as temáticas distanciamento social e violência doméstica, analisadas pelo software Interface de R pourles Analyses Multidimensionnelles de Textes et de Questionnaires (Iramuteq) associado à análise de conteúdo de Bardin. A análise lexicográfica e de conteúdo do corpus textual de 102 notícias produziu quatro categorias temáticas com foco na rede de proteção, ambiente doméstico, elevação dos casos de violência doméstica e contexto de pandemia como potencializador do fenômeno. O distanciamento social decorrente da pandemia de Covid-19 potencializou as situações de violência doméstica, demonstrando necessidade de medidas de intervenção e fortalecimento da rede de proteção.

This study analyzed the effects of social distancing in times of Covid-19 on domestic violence. We conducted a documentary study of news content in four online national newspapers. The study included news published between 20 March and 25 April 2020 addressing social distancing and domestic violence. A content analysis was conducted using the software IRAMUTEQ adopting the approach proposed by Bardin. The lexicographic and content analysis of the corpus of 102 news items produced four thematic categories: protection networks, the home environment, the increase in cases of domestic violence, and the pandemic as a driver of the phenomenon. Social distancing imposed during the Covid-19 pandemic exacerbated domestic violence, demonstrating the need for interventions and the strengthening of the protection network. (AU)

Statin Use for Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease Prevention Among Sexual Minority Adults.

Background Sexual minority, or lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB), individuals are at increased risk for cardiovascular disease attributable to elevated rates of health risk factors. However, although there is clear evidence that statin use can prevent cardiovscular disease in certain adult populations, no studies have examined how statins are being used among the LGB population. This study aimed to examine the prevalence and predictors of statin use among LGB and non-LGB individuals using Facebook-delivered online surveys. Methods and Results We conducted a cross-sectional online survey about statin use in adults ≥40 years of age between September and December 2019 using Facebook advertising (n=1531). We calculated the prevalence of statin use by age, sexual orientation, and statin benefit populations. We used multivariable logistic regression to examine whether statin use differed by sexual orientation, adjusting for covariates. We observed a significantly lower rate of statin use in the LGB versus non-LGB respondents (20.8% versus 43.8%; P<0.001) in the primary prevention population. However, the prevalence of statin use was not statistically different in the LGB versus non-LGB respondents in the secondary prevention population. Adjusting for the covariates, the LGB participants were less likely to use statins than the non-LGB respondents in the primary prevention population (odds ratio, 0.37; 95% CI, 0.19-0.70). Conclusions Our results are the first to emphasize the urgent need for tailored, evidence-based cardiovascular disease prevention programs that aim to promote statin use, and thus healthy aging, in the LGB population.

Public Response to a Social Media Tobacco Prevention Campaign: Content Analysis.

BACKGROUND: Prior research suggests that social media-based public health campaigns are often targeted by countercampaigns. OBJECTIVE: Using reactance theory as the theoretical framework, this research characterizes the nature of public response to tobacco prevention messages disseminated via a social media-based campaign. We also examine whether agreement with the prevention messages is associated with comment tone and nature of the contribution to the overall discussion. METHODS: User comments to tobacco prevention messages, posted between April 19, 2017 and July 12, 2017, were extracted from Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. Two coders categorized comments in terms of tone, agreement with message, nature of contribution, mentions of government agency and regulation, promotional or spam comments, and format of comment. Chi-square analyses tested associations between agreement with the message and tone of the public response and the nature of contributions to the discussions. RESULTS: Of the 1242 comments received (Twitter: n=1004; Facebook: n=176; Instagram: n=62), many comments used a negative tone (42.75%) and disagreed with the health messages (39.77%), while the majority made healthy contributions to the discussions (84.38%). Only 0.56% of messages mentioned government agencies, and only 0.48% of the comments were antiregulation. Comments employing a positive tone (84.13%) or making healthy contributions (69.11%) were more likely to agree with the campaign messages (P=0.01). Comments employing a negative tone (71.25%) or making toxic contributions (36.26%) generally disagreed with the messages (P=0.01). CONCLUSIONS: The majority of user comments in response to a tobacco prevention campaign made healthy contributions. Our findings encourage the use of social media to promote dialogue about controversial health topics such as smoking. However, toxicity was characteristic of comments that disagreed with the health messages. Managing negative and toxic comments on social media is a crucial issue for social media-based tobacco prevention campaigns to consider.
