Background and AimsSocial media can provide real-time insight into trends in substance use, addiction, and recovery. Prior studies have leveraged data from platforms such as Reddit and X (formerly Twitter), but evolving policies around data access have threatened their usability in opioid overdose surveillance systems. Here, we evaluate the potential of a broad set of platforms to detect emerging trends in the opioid crisis.DesignWe identified 72 online platforms with a substantial global user base or prior citations in opioid-related research. We evaluated each platform’s fit with our definition of social media, size of North American user base, and volume of opioid-related discourse. We created a shortlist of 11 platforms that met our criteria. We documented basic characteristics, volume and nature of opioid discussion, official policies regulating drug-related discussion, and data accessibility of shortlisted platforms.SettingUSA and Canada.MeasurementsWe quantified the volume of opioid discussion by number of platform-specific Google search hits for opioid terms. We captured informal language by including slang generated using a large language model. We report the number of opioid-related hits and proportion of opioid-related hits to hits for common nouns.FindingsWe found that TikTok, YouTube, and Facebook have the most potential for use in opioid-related surveillance. TikTok and Facebook have the highest relative amount of drug-related discussions. Language on TikTok was predominantly informal. Many platforms offer data access tools for research, but changing company policies and user norms create instability. The demographics of users varies substantially across platforms.ConclusionsSocial media data sources hold promise for detecting trends in opioid use, but researchers must consider the utility, accessibility, and stability of data on each platform. A strategy mixing several platforms may be required to cover all demographics suffering in the epidemic.

Social media has rapidly developed in the past decade to become a powerful and influential force for patients, physicians, health systems, and the academic community. While the use of social media in health care has produced many positive changes, such as rapid dissemination of information, crowd-sourced sharing of knowledge, learning, and social interaction, social media in health care has also negative effects. Recent examples of negative impacts of social media include rapid and unchecked information dissemination leading to patient misinformation and inadvertent reputational harm for health care professionals due to engaging in controversial topics on public platforms. Members of the anesthesiology community, like other medical specialties, have rapidly adopted social media at many different levels. However, most anesthesiologists, health systems, and academic communities have little education, preparation, and guidelines on optimizing the use of social media technology while minimizing the risks of social media. Anesthesiology has been and will continue to be impacted by the forces of technology and the cultural influences of social media for the foreseeable future. The purpose of this article was to examine the recent history of social media adoption in anesthesiology and perioperative medicine, understand the current impact of social media across our specialty, and consider how the future development of technology and evolving social and cultural dynamic influences of social media will have on anesthesiology over the next quarter century.
