“…For example, Choi et al [58] found that social media can significantly enhance people's risk perception during Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) outbreak in South Korean. Others studies such as Christensen et al [59], Bago and Lompo [60], Chen and Stoecker [61], all found media exposure can increase the public risk perception related health information. Third, a great number of studies have found that Internet use is associated with negative outcomes (e.g., depression) of individuals' mental health, such as Seki et al [62], Yücens and Üzer [63].…”

Empirical evidence that combines traditional factors and information technology factors to predict public attitudes toward to medical services is inadequate. To fill this gap, this study investigates the impact of Internet use on people’s satisfaction with medical services by employing the Chinese Social Survey for 2013, 2015 and 2017 (including 28,239 samples in total). Estimation results under the ordered probit reveal that Internet use is negatively correlated with individuals’ medical services satisfaction. The results support the negativity bias theory, namely, compared with positive information, netizens pay more attention to negative medical-related information on the Internet. The results are still reliable by adopting substitution variable methods, subdividing the samples, employing other estimation methods and carrying out placebo tests to conduct robustness checks. This study further enriches the literature on public attitudes toward medical services and provides additional policy implications for medical risk management in the digital era.

“…A study in Uganda has shown that the frequency of access to information in traditional mass media such as TV, radio, and print media is more successful in enhancing the knowledge about HIV among adolescents. (17) Information about HIV/AIDS has been regularly broadcast via radio/TV as a campaign to prevent HIV/AIDS. The HIV/AIDS campaign program in Indonesia may have become a success story, causing knowledge about HIV/ AIDS to be predominantly moderate and good in Jakarta (91.0%) and West Java (70.0%).…”

BACKGROUND Basic knowledge of sexual and reproductive health is important to be introduced during the premarital period, to reduce high-risk sexual behavior among adolescents, as well as to increase the correct attitude in their future marriage. This study explored the knowledge of HIV/AIDS, sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and anemia among unmarried adolescents. METHODS This was a cross-sectional analytical study on secondary data from the Indonesian Demographic and Health Population Survey 2017, initially conducted by the National Population and Family Planning Board (BKKBN). Knowledge of HIV/AIDS, STDs and anemia among unmarried adolescents aged 15-24 years in West Java Province and Jakarta, the capital city of Indonesia, was compared and analyzed using the chi-square test. RESULTS In total, 5,389 weighted data were retrieved. In general, adolescents in Jakarta had better knowledge of all diseases compared to those in West Java (p<0.001). Knowledge of anemia and STDs was poor compared to that of HIV/AIDS which was moderate to good (p<0.001). Interestingly, although the adolescents had a middle-low wealth index (43%), the majority (>90%) had their own mobile phone with almost daily internet access, however most of their information sources on health education were from their school period. CONCLUSION Premarital education in schools is imperative to enhance the knowledge of STDs and anemia. Moreover, poor knowledge of anemia is a challenge for introducing the topic of thalassemia major, an inherited autosomal recessive type of anemia due to hemoglobinopathy. Since Indonesia is harboring 6-10% of thalassemia carriers, integrative premarital education is needed for better family planning.

“…The role of the media in representing and constructing understandings of the HIV epidemic and its treatments, and in shaping policy, has long been the subject of critical analysis (see, for example: Epstein, 1996). Mass media communications are integral to a global, coordinated response to HIV/AIDS (Kitzinger, 1990;Li et al, 2009;Asamoah et al, 2017;Bago and Lompo, 2019) and the news media are shown to be an influential source for the public understanding of health communication in terms of health risks and treatment safety (Dixon and Clarke, 2012). In the case of PrEP, polarised press reporting (Jaspal and Nerlich, 2017) reads as ambivalent, providing readers with distinctly pro-and anti-PrEP positions.…”
