Social Media & Health Communication Research
With the changing health communication landscape brought on by technologies and new media, HCIRB would like to engage scholars and practitioners from multiple disciplines through a planned funding initiative on social/participative media.
Some potential areas of focus include:
- Measurement and methodological issues in conducting social media research
- Impact of social media on health behavior, attitudes and perception
- Implications of social media on clinical care
- Implications for health communication interventions and program planning
- Digital Divide and health disparities
HCIRB invites expert extramural feedback to help identify gaps in the field and inform the development of this program initiative.
