摘要

社交媒体平台已迅速成为避孕健康信息的主要来源,塑造了育龄个体的信仰和行为。然而,区分准确内容和误导性信息变得越来越困难,这可能导致意外怀孕率上升。鉴于对TikTok上避孕信息的质量和可靠性的了解有限,本横断面研究旨在系统评估各种用户创建的热门TikTok避孕内容,以识别和分析错误信息。方法:在2023年8月至9月期间,我们分析了来自与避孕方法相关的前五大标签(#birthcontrol, #避孕,#thepill, #naturalbirthcontrol和#cycletracking)的100个视频,使用DISCERN工具评估所呈现的健康信息的特征及其质量。结果:TikTok视频的总播放量为48.5亿次。只有10%是由医疗专业人员创建的。总体而言,内容的可靠性和质量较差,表明存在明显的避孕保健错误信息。此外,还有一种令人担忧的趋势,即自然避孕方法比激素避孕方法更受青睐,往往没有适当的风险披露,同时对保健专业人员的不信任日益增加。讨论:社交媒体上避孕错误信息的兴起正在重塑医患关系,并影响避孕观念。TikTok提供了一个很好的公共卫生机会,向所有人传播准确的避孕信息,无论他们的背景或资源如何。为了解决对卫生专业人员的不信任,必须提高避孕护理质量,促进共同决策,这可能会提高对避孕选择的满意度,并减少网上的负面叙述。

"Do You Know What Birth Control Actually Does to Your Body?": Assessing Contraceptive Information on TikTok.

Introduction: Social media platforms have rapidly become key sources of contraceptive health information, shaping the beliefs and behaviors of individuals of reproductive age. Yet, it has become increasingly difficult to distinguish accurate content from misleading information, potentially leading to higher unintended pregnancy rates. Given the limited insights into the quality and reliability of contraceptive information on TikTok, this cross-sectional study aimed to systematically evaluate popular TikTok content on contraception created by various users to identify and analyze misinformation.

Method: Between August and September 2023, we analyzed 100 videos from the top five hashtags related to contraception methods (#birthcontrol, #contraception, #thepill, #naturalbirthcontrol, and #cycletracking) to assess the characteristics of the health information presented and their quality, using the DISCERN tool.

Results: The TikTok videos collectively received 4.85 billion views. Only 10% were created by medical professionals. Overall, the content showed poor reliability and quality, indicating a prominent presence of contraceptive health misinformation. Furthermore, there was a concerning trend favoring natural contraceptive methods over hormonal options, often without appropriate risk disclosures, accompanied by a growing distrust in health professionals.

Discussion: The rise of contraceptive misinformation on social media is re-shaping patient-provider relationships and impacting contraceptive beliefs. TikTok offers an excellent public health opportunity to disseminate accurate contraceptive information accessible to all individuals, regardless of their background or resources. To address the observed distrust in health professionals, it is essential to improve contraceptive care quality and promote shared decision-making, which would likely increase satisfaction with contraceptive choices and mitigate negative narratives online.
