The role of social media in public health

Social media can be used to efficiently spread and promote public health messages, and represents data sources for health surveillance to detect disease outbreaks and estimate disease incidence. These data can be used to identify populations in need and respond with customized interventions. BMC Public Health has launched this collection calling for research on the role of social media in public health.
