Public Q&A: How to connect teens with health peers

March 18, 2019 By Susannah Fox 9 Comments

A subway train speeds away from a nearly empty platform

In the spirit of Public Q&A, I am sharing a question I received from someone who helps run outreach and support programs for a disease-focused nonprofit: “In your research did you learn about what mode and types of connecting teens preferred? Did any teens express wishes for something online that they couldn’t find in terms of connecting with peers?” Essentially, […]

I thought I’d share a few highlights from the grandmother of them all — key data points on U.S. teens and adults and their use of technology to pursue health. It is the first one I created when I […]

Peer to peer health advice: your community may really be your superpower

Dr. Joe Kvedar interviewed me for his podcast, Well/Connected, and I thought I’d share footnotes for all the resources I mentioned. Key findings from the national survey of 14- to 22-year-olds focused on digital health and social media use, sponsored by Hopelab and Well Being Trust, which took a special look at people living with […]

Social media as a platform for hope

A group of men stand in knee-deep flood waters with two kayaks. One man is in a kayak.

I’ve been thinking about how people react to a crisis. How, if we are lucky, we find ways to lend and borrow expertise to get through it. And how we lend and borrow courage. In the American South, there is something called the Cajun Navy, an ad hoc, informal group of people who use their […]
