J Public Health (Oxf). 2023 Nov 29;45(4):e797-e798. doi: 10.1093/pubmed/fdad081.

Abstract

The potential threat to public health awareness posed by mom-influencers on social media must be taken into account. In the meantime, the concept of fostering partnerships between health experts, the government and mom-influencers must be made accessible in order to promote the immediate availability of appropriate, accurate and trustworthy information to the public and adequate health education practices.

Keywords: health promotion; public health; social media.
