Like it or not, social media has become a driving force in the way many people get information on health topics.
And Philip Massey, PhD, MPH, assistant professor in Drexel University’s Dornsife School of Public Health, knows that health professionals need to stay current on what’s being talked about.
“It is not a question of, ‘ Are people using social media for health information?’ but rather, ‘How much are people using it and how can we help them find information that is valid and pertinent to their lives?’” Massey said.
