Leveraging Social Media in Underrepresented Populations: A Cross-Sectional Study

Listen to this summary

This study aimed to characterize social media usage among underrepresented women with pelvic floor disorders and identify their preferences for learning about their conditions. The findings revealed that younger participants were more likely to use social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram, while Facebook and YouTube were preferred for educational content. The authors suggest that incorporating these platforms into patient education and research recruitment could help reduce care disparities in this population.
