Who drives tobacco policy talk on Twitter (X)? Our research shows industry-affiliated voices dominate, not public sentiment. Of 58 top users, 50 were e-cig advocates & 24 had ties to Big Tobacco. Let’s rethink “public opinion.” Learn more: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/... #TobaccoPolicy

Flavored tobacco products are a leading factor in youth initiation, with social media amplifying the trend. Our new study explores these patterns and the need for effective public health strategies. Let’s work together to protect youth! Read more: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39348776/

Frequent social media use was associated with flavored CTP initiation among youth who used CTPs. Youth who had ever vaped and Black youth were less likely to initiate with flavored CTPs.

At #APHA2024, we shared findings on social media posts promoting nicotine/tobacco for weight control, including mentions of unhealthy diets, self-monitoring via “body checks,” and posts glamorizing thinness. #TobaccoPrevention must counter these harmful narratives to protect health and body image.

SDC explored Gen-AI for text classification: social media abortion posts (GSMA) into Pro-Choice & Pro-Life; AP-NORC open responses into 5 political topics.

✅ GPT-4 outperforms AutoML.
✅ Near 100% accuracy on AP-NORC.
✅ Near 20% improvement on GSMA.
