This article is the first in the feature to highlight the social network site Twitter as a tool for health information and it reports on a study by Emma Hughes, who completed an MSc in information and library studies at Aberystwyth University in 2014. Emma's research investigated the quality of health information available on Twitter, in particular the information available on UK alcohol consumption guidelines. Her research suggests that users searching for this information would need certain literacy skills to interpret it correctly. However, there is no doubt that Twitter is an increasingly popular resource for information dissemination and health professionals, and organisations should be encouraged to use it frequently as a tool for sharing information.

本文是该专题中首篇强调社交网站推特作为健康信息工具的文章，它报道了艾玛·休斯的一项研究。艾玛于2014年在阿伯里斯特威斯大学完成了信息与图书馆学硕士学位。艾玛的研究调查了推特上可得的健康信息质量，尤其是关于英国酒精消费指南的信息。她的研究表明，搜索此类信息的用户需要具备一定的读写能力才能正确解读。然而，毫无疑问，推特对于信息传播而言是一个日益流行的资源，健康专业人士和机构应受到鼓励，经常将其用作信息共享工具。上午。
