ABSTRACT

Social media use in public health and other health related research applications has seen a rapid increase in recent years. However, there has been very limited utilization of this growing digital sector in agricultural injury research. Social media offers immense potential in gathering informal data, both text and images, converting them into knowledge, which can open up avenues for research, policy, and practice. There are a number of ways social media data can be utilized in agricultural injury research. This paper touches on the adoption of these data sources in health research and discusses the use of social media as an exploratory research tool that can peer into and identify the edges of potential health and safety problems.

摘要

近年来，社交媒体在公共卫生和其他与健康相关的研究应用中的使用迅速增长。但是，这种增长的数字部门在农业伤害研究中的利用非常有限。社交媒体在收集非正式数据（文本和图像）并将其转换为知识方面具有巨大潜力，可以为研究，政策和实践开辟道路。社交媒体数据可用于农业伤害研究的方法有很多种。本文探讨了健康研究中这些数据源的采用，并讨论了社交媒体作为一种探索性研究工具的使用，可以探究并确定潜在的健康和安全问题的边缘。
