The participants were\nconsecutively assigned to nine-person groups on a social media platform. The\nbaseline knowledge, awareness, and prevention behavior of the participants with\nregards to HPV and cervical cancer were already noted. Each participant\nreceiveda unique random set of 20 tailored messages daily for up to five days.\nPost-survey was done to assess the knowledge, awareness, and prevention\nbehavior of the participants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Significant statistical difference was not seen with regards\nto knowledge and prevention behavior of the participants from the baseline to\npost-survey. But, a significant change in response to whether the participant\nhas heard about HPV was increased to some extent. The study findings also\nrevealed that most of the participants had basic knowledge, awareness, and\npositive behavior related to the prevention of cervical cancer from the beginning\nof the study. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The study concluded that social media platforms could be of\ngreat help in improving knowledge, awareness, and prevention towards HPV and\ncervical cancer. However, further research should be done to determine how\nsocial media improves the healthy behavior of an\nindividual in cervical cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Reference:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lyson HC, Le GM, Zhang J, Rivadeneira N, Lyles C, Radcliffe K,\nPasick RJ, Sawaya G, Sarkar U, Centola D.
