BACKGROUND Skin cancer rates are rising in the United State yet screening rates remain low. Meanwhile, social media has evolved to become a primary sources of health information with 40% of daily users of Pinterest reporting the platform as a “go-to” source. OBJECTIVE To examine how skin cancer screenings were portrayed on Pinterest. METHODS Using the search terms “skin cancer screening” and “skin cancer exam, researchers sampled every fifth pin to collect 274 relevant pins. Two researchers coded pins and interrater agreement was established at 94%. RESULTS Of the sample, twenty-two percent depicted skin cancer screening in a negative way yet 41.5% noted that early detection leads to better outcomes. The pins were geared toward younger, white, women with minimal depiction of people of color. Few pins included comprehensive information about skin cancer risk factors, importance of routine self-screenings, or what to expect with a medical provider. Fifty-eight percent of pins included links to personal blogs. CONCLUSIONS Social media has become a powerful source of health information yet much of the posted information is incomplete. These findings present public health experts with an opportunity to disseminate more comprehensive skin cancer screening information on social media. CLINICALTRIAL NA
