Patients are increasingly turning to the internet and social media for health information. It can be difficult to find reliable health information online, especially in the age of online misinformation. Healthcare professionals are essential in fighting cancer misinformation online.
- Using Social Media to Support Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Oncology
- Using Social Media for Research
- Creating Meaningful Engagement with Advocates, Physicians, and Reputable Sources of Information
- Exploring the Role of the Digital Opinion Leader
- Industry Relations, Partnership, and Transparency
- Physicians, Patient Advocates, Platform Providers, Health Information Providers
The availability of information online and through social media has changed how patients engage with each other and their medical teams. According to Rutten and colleagues, nearly 70% report that their initial health of medical information source is the internet1. For people diagnosed with and living beyond cancer, the proportion using the internet as a source of information ranges from 60 to 80%2. Indeed, in oncology, the “rapid diffusion and adoption of social media have created a new frontier in cancer communication”.
Target Audience
Learning Objectives
- Identify opportunities and challenges to engagement by different social media platforms as it relates to professional development, bidirectional communication, and sharing of research
- Better understand the research areas under investigation within oncology as it relates to social media
- Distinguish between digital opinion leaders from key opinion leaders or from medical influencers and to better identify how DOLs can collaborate on social media on issues related to and about oncology
