Theory-Based Social Media Intervention for Nonmedical Use of Prescription Opioids in Young Adults: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

Theory-Based Social Media Intervention for Nonmedical Use of Prescription Opioids in Young Adults: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

Notably, NMUPO is strongly linked with the initiation of heroin and synthetic opioid use (eg, fentanyl) in young adults, posing a substantial risk for the development of substance use disorder (SUD) and overdose [13]. Hence, interventions targeting young adults are urgently needed to address NMUPO, and those should be delivered beyond the college population [14]. Interventions for NMUPO in young adults should take psychosocial factors into account.

Relative Effectiveness of Social Media, Dating Apps, and Information Search Sites in Promoting HIV Self-testing: Observational Cohort Study

Parker et al [21] conducted a secondary analysis in a study enrolling substance-using sexual and gender minority adolescents and young adults to evaluate the efficacy of their enrollment strategy. The study used multiple methods to enroll participants, including social media platforms (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Tumblr), dating apps (Grindr, Scruff, Jack’D), internet-based health boards, and venue-based enrollment.

Comparing Web-Based Platforms for Promoting HIV Self-Testing and Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis Uptake in High-Risk Men Who Have Sex With Men: Protocol for a Longitudinal Cohort Study

More than 30% of new infections occur in young (under 35 years of age) MSM who identify as Black or Hispanic/Latino [3]. Most new HIV infections are the result of male-to-male sexual contact [2], but other behaviors elevate risk of HIV transmission. For example, substance use is prevalent among young MSM [4], and use of substances, particularly alcohol and amphetamines, is associated with not using a condom, a key risk factor for transmission of HIV infection [5-7].

Social Media Interventions for Risky Drinking Among Adolescents and Emerging Adults: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

Social Media Interventions for Risky Drinking Among Adolescents and Emerging Adults: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

In fact, risky drinking among young people is associated with increased risk for other drug use, adverse health consequences (eg, injury and overdose), and development of substance use disorders [4-7]. Accordingly, late adolescence and emerging adulthood is a critical developmental juncture, distinct from childhood and adulthood, during which rates of alcohol and other drug use peak [8-10]. For example, 6.5% of adolescents and 22.1% of emerging adults report past-month cannabis use [1].

Ethical Issues in Addressing Social Media Posts About Suicidal Intentions During an Online Study Among Youth: Case Study

Severe depression and suicide are common public health concerns among college aged young adults. Approximately 15% of college undergraduates experience a depressive disorder, and suicide is a leading cause of death for university students in the United States [1-3]. The percentage of students with severe psychological issues seeking help at university centers increased from 16% in 2000 to 44% in 2010, with only 13% of suicides being from past clients of student counseling centers [4,5].
