AbstractAn understanding of healthcare super-utilizers’ online behaviors could better identify experiences to inform interventions. In this retrospective case-control study, we analyzed patients’ social media posts to better understand their day-to-day behaviors and emotions expressed online. Patients included those receiving care in an urban academic emergency department who consented to share access to their historical Facebook posts and electronic health records. Super-utilizers were defined as patients with more than six visits to the Emergency Department (ED) in a year. We compared posts by super-utilizers with a matched group using propensity scoring based on age, gender and Charlson comorbidity index. Super-utilizers were more likely to post about confusion and negativity (D = .65, 95% CI-[.38, .95]), self-reflection (D = .63 [.35, .91]), avoidance (D = .62 [.34, .90]), swearing (D = .52 [.24, .79]), sleep (D = .60 [.32, .88]), seeking help and attention (D = .61 [.33, .89]), psychosomatic symptoms, (D = .49 [.22, .77]), self-agency (D = .56 [.29, .85]), anger (D = .51, [.24, .79]), stress (D = .46, [.19, .73]), and lonely expressions (D = .44, [.17, .71]). Insights from this study can potentially supplement offline community care services with online social support interventions considering the high engagement of super-utilizers on social media.

Background: As the US continues to experience increases of COVID-19 cases, there is an urgent need to identify ways to improve individuals’ knowledge of COVID-19 to achieve effective prevention and vaccination. The primary objective of the current study was to examine whether the knowledge of COVID-19 was associated with the general health literacy among patients in an emergency department. Methods: A sample of 252 adults was collected in an urban ED. Patients’ knowledge of COVID-19 was measured by the agreement to 10 statements. Health literacy was measured by the Brief Health Literacy Screen (BHLS). Participants were also asked about their primary source of COVID-19 information, sociodemographics, comorbidities and familiarity with the healthcare system at baseline. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were conducted. Results: The average COVID-19 knowledge score was 7.09 (range 0-10) and BHLS score, 11.09 (range 3-15). About 43% obtained the information primarily from TVs, radios, and newspapers and only 8% from scientific sources. The group with the primary source being social media had the lowest average COVID-19 knowledge score of 6.25. The BHLS and COVID-19 knowledge scores were positively correlated in both bivariate and multivariate analyses. Compared to primary source of information being social media, internet sites and searches (p=0.03) and families, relatives, and friends (p=0.02) were associated with higher COVID-19 knowledge scores, controlling for other factors. Education and income levels were statistically significant in both the bivariate and regressions. Conclusions: Patients with better general health literacy had better knowledge of COVID-19. To better prevent further increases in COVID-19 transmission and improve the rate of vaccination, individuals of low educational and income levels should be prioritized in community interventions. Regulations on and/or guard against misinformation presented on social media platforms should be included in any effective interventions to improve individuals’ knowledge of COVID-19.
