An increasing number of Internet users look to social media websites for support and encouragement when faced with a health situation. With numerous social media websites available, finding reliable social media-driven support groups to recommend can pose difficulty to librarians and patrons. This article reviews several moderated online social media support groups that can potentially help consumers seeking support. Since there are many groups for many different diseases, criteria were established before selecting them. This list aids librarians in their quest of finding these resources for consumers and will also provide consumers with satisfactory online social media support groups. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
