Video Summary

Danielle Vogue and Caroline Kreitzer presented their study on TikTok's pregnancy-related content, emphasizing misinformation in videos. They analyzed 200 TikTok videos, finding the majority were produced by non-healthcare professionals, often containing inaccurate information on topics like neonatal interventions and vaccinations. The study highlighted that videos by healthcare workers were more accurate but received less engagement. It recommended increased involvement of healthcare professionals on social media to counter misinformation and suggested platforms like TikTok implement measures to address misleading content. Clinicians are encouraged to discuss social media-driven misinformation with patients.
