Here is a research idea: Let's evaluate the content of Twitter conversations (tweets) labeled #asthma #allergy #foodallergy and other allergy-related terms.
Some potential data points:
- tweets by individuals vs. organizations, general public vs. physicians, physicians vs. allergists
- opportunity to better disseminate evidence-based information?
- increase the presence of credible sources in the #asthma conversation?
- focus the content of tweets on scientific evidence?
