“…YouTube can also be a useful instrument for communities to share or retrieve timely health information and advice. However, the health information that is available on YouTube, and social media in general, can also provide contradictory or even misleading information [ 22 , 50 ]. Besides addressing the efficacy and quality of health information content of the YouTube videos [ 45 ], researchers can use YouTube videos to investigate public perception of certain diseases, medications, and health care services [ 54 ].…”

“…Seven content categories were identified a priori using the CDC fact sheet on PrEP [ 10 ], literature related to PrEP and social media [ 22 ], and previous studies exploring the content of YouTube videos [ 50 - 52 ]. These categories included (see Table 1 ): (1) defining PrEP (ie, prevention tool used to reduce the risk of HIV infection); (2) explaining how PrEP works; (3) describing who can use PrEP; (4) mentioning PrEP as a safe treatment; (5) describing PrEP side effects; (6) describing how to obtain PrEP, and (7) mentioning PrEP costs.…”

BackgroundAntiretroviral (ARV) medicines reduce the risk of transmitting the HIV virus and are recommended as daily pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) in combination with safer sex practices for HIV-negative individuals at a high risk for infection, but are underused in HIV prevention. Previous literature suggests that YouTube is extensively used to share health information. While pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a novel and promising approach to HIV prevention, there is limited understanding of YouTube videos as a source of information on PrEP.ObjectiveThe objective of this study was to describe the sources, characteristics, and content of the most widely viewed PrEP YouTube videos published up to October 1, 2016.MethodsThe keywords “pre-exposure prophylaxis” and “Truvada” were used to find 217 videos with a view count >100. Videos were coded for source, view count, length, number of comments, and selected aspects of content. Videos were also assessed for the most likely target audience.ResultsThe total cumulative number of views was >2.3 million, however, a single Centers for Disease Control and Prevention video accounted for >1.2 million of the total cumulative views. A great majority (181/217, 83.4%) of the videos promoted the use of PrEP, whereas 60.8% (132/217) identified the specific target audience. In contrast, only 35.9% (78/217) of the videos mentioned how to obtain PrEP, whereas less than one third addressed the costs, side effects, and safety aspects relating to PrEP. Medical and academic institutions were the sources of the largest number of videos (66/217, 30.4%), followed by consumers (63/217, 29.0%), community-based organizations (CBO; 48/217, 22.1%), and media (40/217, 18.4%). Videos uploaded by the media sources were more likely to discuss the cost of PrEP (P<.001), whereas the use of PrEP was less likely to be promoted in videos uploaded by individual consumers (P=.002) and more likely to be promoted in videos originated by CBOs (P=.009). The most common target audience for the videos was gay and bisexual men.ConclusionsYouTube videos can be used to share reliable PrEP information with individuals. Further research is needed to identify the best practices for using this medium to promote and increase PrEP uptake.

Zusammenfassung Hintergrund Die Einnahme von Nahrungsergänzungsmitteln (NEM) mit dem Ziel, den Gesundheitszustand zu verbessern, ist in Deutschland weit verbreitet, insbesondere bei Patienten mit entsprechenden Diagnosen, Älteren und Sportlern. Rechtsunsicherheiten und gesundheitliche Risiken, die speziell mit dem Interneteinkauf von NEM assoziiert sein können, sind in Deutschland wenig untersucht. Ziel Ziel der Arbeit ist ein literaturbasierter Überblick über das gesundheitliche Gefährdungspotenzial, die rechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen sowie die Verbraucherinformationen von über den Internethandel bezogenen NEM. Methodik Literaturrecherche (Pubmed) inklusive Reference-tracking (01/2017 – 01/2018) und Sichtung von Veröffentlichungen des Bundesinstituts für Risikobewertung und deutscher Verbraucherzentralen sowie überschlägige Sichtung der gesetzlichen Regelungen auf Bundes- und Länderebene und teilweise Gesetzesexegese. Ergebnisse Patienten nutzen zunehmend das Internet zur gesundheitsbezogenen Information, wobei die persönliche, fachlich einschlägige Beratung zu Nutzen und Risiken eines Produkts in der Regel entfällt. Auf potenzielle Nebenwirkungen wird häufig nicht hingewiesen. Verunreinigungen mit toxischen Substanzen wie Schwermetallen oder Beimengungen von pharmakologischen Substanzen werden gehäuft bei als natürlich beworbenen NEM nachgewiesen und können ein erhebliches Gesundheitsrisiko darstellen. Im Gegensatz zu Arzneimitteln unterliegen NEM keiner behördlichen Zulassungspflicht, bei der die Unbedenklichkeit des Produkts überprüft wird. AthletInnen sollten das nicht unerhebliche Risiko positiver Dopingbefunde infolge einer NEM-Einnahme berücksichtigen. Derzeit sind 6 – 9 % der Dopingfälle auf NEM zurückzuführen. Fazit ÄrztInnen wird empfohlen, ihre PatientInnen gezielt nach der Einnahme von NEM zu fragen, diese zu dokumentieren und in einen individuellen Substanzpass aufzunehmen. Bei AthletInnen sollte das Risiko dopingrelevanter Verunreinigungen in die individuelle Nutzen-Risiko-Analyse einbezogen werden.

“…As mentioned above, video ads for dietary supplement products may influence consumers’ health-related perceptions and behaviors. Content analyses of social networking, magazines, radio, and websites have been conducted [ 30 , 46 , 47 , 48 , 49 ], but few studies have discussed the effects of dietary supplement video ads [ 50 ], and there has been no inductive analysis of video ads. Therefore, the present study examined the content of video ads for dietary supplements that promote a fat-reduction effect.…”

A Content Analysis of Video Advertisements for Dietary Supplements in Japan

Dietary supplements are widely advertised and the market is expanding worldwide. Research suggests that dietary supplement advertising may lead consumers to make inappropriate health-related decisions, to express behaviors such as overdosing, and to neglect healthy lifestyle behaviors. We conducted a content analysis of video advertisements for dietary supplements and described the content of advertisements with high numbers and frequent views. We analyzed 82 video advertisements on YouTube that promoted fat-reduction effects. We extracted 22 themes and classified them into 10 categories. The categories with the highest numbers of advertisements were “Exemption” (i.e., consuming the product frees the audience from refraining from binge eating) (20 ads, 24.4%) and “Health Concerns” (i.e., the product intake solves the health concerns of the audience) (19 ads, 23.2%). These advertisements may stimulate negative audience attitudes toward appropriate health behaviors. The category with the most frequent views was “Lifestyle” (i.e., adding product intake to a healthy lifestyle) (3,035,298 views). “Lifestyle” advertisements portray physical activity in a positive light and may promote appropriate health behaviors in the audience. We discuss the possible effects of the advertisements on audiences and consider issues for future research and practice.
