Description
Child doctors now reach parents where parents already spend time: social media feeds. Saverio La Bella and co-authors argue in this 2024 paper that platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok give pediatricians a wide channel for sound health advice, with billions of users online.
The same channels spread false claims fast, and parents increasingly treat themselves and their children based on what they read. The authors call for clear rules and a shared network where pediatricians post checked facts and plan how to communicate well online. Handled with care and honesty, they argue, social media can build a better-informed public instead of a misled one.
