Social media can be used to raise awareness about health issues, especially concerning the importance of periodical screening. The present study aims to identify the role of social media awareness campaigns in the early detection of breast cancer, with a focus on Romania, a country with a high female mortality due to this disease. The research is performed using a survey, based on an online questionnaire, which was self-administered by the respondents included in two samples selected from a Facebook community of Romanian women. Sample A was composed of 1945 women who were not exposed to periodic campaigns regarding the importance of screening for the prevention and early detection of this type of disease, and Sample B was composed of 289 women who were exposed to such annual campaigns within the last 5 years. The results outline several differences among respondents from the two samples regarding their awareness of prevention necessity, as well as the frequency and chosen methods for breast cancer screening. The findings hold important implications for public authorities, which must intensify their efforts in raising women’s awareness regarding the importance of screening for the early detection and prevention of breast cancer.

“…Education can be related to health in terms of PHC usage, the services used, and the circumstances the information is used (Thomas, 2010). More highly educated individuals are also more likely to search for PCHI online (Cangelosi Jr., Ranelli, and Kim, 2013;Cho and Kim, 2021). This shows that more educated people believe that health care services are beneficial in relation to people with less education (Thomas, 2010).…”

Preventive health care information (PCHI) is a vital aspect of controlling the cost of healthcare and preventing unnecessary medical procedures. The purpose of this study is to examine how demographic variables (i.e., education, gender, age, employment status, and income level), health condition, health knowledge, and social influences (professional, peers, and family), affect lifestyle. Lifestyle is measured by a perceived lifestyle change question and a series of Likert-scale questions that are grouped into two variables, (i.e., healthy lifestyle and healthy actions). The study used data from 390 respondents in Taiwan. Both perceived health knowledge and peers were consistently found to be good predictors for all three types of lifestyle measures. Education, income level, and gender were found to be important predictors for some measures of lifestyle. Perceived health condition was found to be negatively related to healthy actions. This study confirms the importance of demographic variables, perceived health condition, perceived health knowledge, and social influence. These findings then suggest that further research is needed in order to ensure generalizability.
