Objective: To synthesize the available evidence on the disclosure of conflicts of interests by individuals posting health messages on social media, and on the reporting of funding sources of studies cited in health messages on social media Study design: systematic review Data Sources: We developed a search strategy, using the help of a librarian, for MEDLINE, EMBASE and Google Scholar electronic databases from 2005 to present. The search combined various keywords and medical subject headings (MeSH) terms relevant to concepts of conflict of interest, funding, and social media. We did not restrict the search to specific languages. Teams of two reviewers will conduct the screening in duplicate and independently. We will also screen the reference lists of included studies as well as other relevant papers. Data abstraction: The reviewers will abstract data from eligible studies in duplicate and independently. We will use a standardized and pilot-tested data abstraction form. We will abstract information on the general characteristics of included studies, characteristics of the social media examined, conflict of interest, and funding. Quality assessment: A team of two reviewers will assess independently the risk of bias of included studies using the relevant part of the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool. |
