“…4,28,34,37,71 The development and worldwide use of SM, particularly by young adults, suggests that people may prefer informal networks such as SM and message boards for discussing their drug use. [14][15][16][17] Thus, worldwide social network data can identify patterns of emerging drug use, and data mining tools can complement current surveillance methods. 23 National and International health and government organizations including the World Health Organization need to focus on the potential impact of SM for prevention and treatment of illicit drug use.…”

A B S T R A C TBackground The use of social media (SM) as a surveillance tool of global illicit drug use is limited. To address this limitation, a systematic review of literature focused on the ability of SM to better recognize illicit drug use trends was addressed. Results Selected studies used a range of SM tools/applications, including message boards, Twitter and blog/forums/platform discussions. Limitations included relevance, a lack of standardized surveillance systems and a lack of efficient algorithms to isolate relevant items.Conclusion Illicit drug use is a worldwide problem, and the rise of global social networking sites has led to the evolution of a readily accessible surveillance tool. Systematic approaches need to be developed to efficiently extract and analyze illicit drug content from social networks to supplement effective prevention programs.Keywords illicit drug prevention, social media surveillance, systematic review IntroductionIllicit drug use is a foremost global public health issue facing individuals, families and society contributing to significant morbidity among youth and adults. 1 In 2014, over a quarter of a billion adults worldwide used drugs, and of these individuals 29 million are estimated to suffer from a drug use disorder and 12 million inject drugs. It is estimated that 14% of drug users are living with human immunodeficiency virus. In 2014, there were >207 000 drug-related deaths worldwide. Global regional differences exist in consumption patterns of illicit drug use; for example, recent trends indicate cocaine use is greater in western and southern European countries whereas amphetamine use is higher in Northern and Eastern Europe. 1,2,3 The prevalence of illicit drug use among US young adults was 21.5% and 22% among those transitioning into young adulthood (18-25 years). 4 In the USA, the most commonly used drugs are tobacco, alcohol, cannabinoids, opioids, stimulants, club drugs, dissociative drugs (Phencyclidine, Salvia divinorum, etc.), hallucinogens, inhalants and prescription medications (pain relievers).5 Cannabis is rated as the most preferred used drug globally with overall use not falling and increasing in some populations.1 Adderall is also widely used by young adults.6 Among first-time illicit drug users,~25% use non-medical prescription drugs, 6.3% use inhalants and 2% hallucinogens.5 Among young adults, there is also a high prevalence of polydrug use: i.e. a combination of 7 The most commonly used substance is alcohol: 42% of young adults have indulged within the past 30 days. 4 Prescription drugs are readily available in doctors' offices and home medicine cabinets and can be bought anonymously without a prescription from drug dealers and through the internet. Emerging new recreational drugs among young adults include synthetic cathinones 'bath salts,' synthetic cannabinoids and Salvia divinorum. 6,8,9 Globally, illicit drug use is highest among 18-25 year olds, 1 an age range shared by most active users of internet/ social media (SM).9,10 Social networking site...

“…SNS can provide a similar presence environment. It creates a feeling of social presence [39,40], which is defined as the extent to which a medium is perceived as sociable, warm, sensitive, personal, or intimate [41], thus increasing psychological arousal. Even though the presence of others in SNS is virtual rather than physical and does not take place in real time, online presence can lead to a feeling of crowding, which suggests insufficient personal space or excessive social contact within one's surrounding [42].…”

Abstract:As the use of social network sites (SNS) has become increasingly prevalent, its effect on sustainable performance has received much attention. The existing literature has taken either a positive or negative view of SNS, arguing that it either decreases performance by taking time and effort away from work, or increases performance by providing social benefits for enhancing performance. In contrast, this experimental study, investigates how SNS use can disturb or enhance the performance of different types of tasks differently, thus influencing the sustainability of task performance. Based on distraction-conflict theory, this study distinguishes between simple and complex tasks, examines the role of SNS, and analyzes data including electroencephalography data captured by a brain-computer interface. The results show that task performance can be sustainable such that SNS use positively influences performance when participants are engaged in a simple task and influences performance neither positively nor negatively when participants are engaged in a complex task. The study finds the former result is attributable to the positive effect of the psychological arousal induced by SNS use and the latter result to the negative effect of the psychological arousal offsetting the positive effect of reduced stress resulting from SNS use.

“…Studies have examined the relationship between MIM usage and loyalty (Kim et al, 2015). A growing stream of research is seeking to examine social media contexts including Instant Messaging (Alhabash, Chiang, and Huang, 2014, Han, Min & Lee, 2015, Gan, 2017. There remains a significant research gap regarding the role MIM plays with regard to positive emotional responses and positive word of mouth for mobile consumers.…”
