To study social media engagement on Black infertility to better understand why there is lower utilization of in vitro fertilization by Black women despite higher infertility rates.
The online analytics module BuzzSumo was used to quantify total engagements with the search term "Black infertility" across the commonly used social media platforms. The 10 article links with the highest engagement were selected from periods in 2020 and 2021. Sources cited in each article were reviewed to identify those that had citations of scientific peer-reviewed journals or national medical organizations. The contents of each article were reviewed for accuracy by comparing the article information against available scientific research and consensus data.

After applying the exclusion criteria, nine article links remained in each date range. The highest engagement with the term "Black infertility" was found on Facebook for both 2020 and 2021. Ten percent of content regarding Black infertility in 2020 compared with 50% of content regarding Black infertility in 2021 referenced original studies in peer-reviewed journals. Links with greater social engagement were more likely to have academic sources in 2021 than in 2020 (odds ratio, 1.30). The highest user engagement was found for articles discussing the emotional toll of Black infertility.
Social media users encounter misleading or inaccurate information regarding Black fertility at similar rates to accurate content. Social media can propagate misinformation, and this study identifies social media as an opportunity to improve education directed toward Black women to increase the utilization of in vitro fertilization services.
研究社交媒体上关于黑人不孕症的参与情况，以更好地理解为何黑人女性不孕症发生率较高，但体外受精的利用率却较低。
使用在线分析模块BuzzSumo对常用社交媒体平台上与搜索词“黑人不孕症”的总参与度进行量化。从2020年和2021年期间选出参与度最高的10篇文章链接。对每篇文章中引用的来源进行审查，以确定那些引用了科学同行评审期刊或国家医学组织的内容。通过将文章信息与现有的科学研究和共识数据进行比较，对每篇文章的内容准确性进行审查。

应用排除标准后，每个日期范围内均保留9篇文章链接。2020年和2021年在Facebook上发现与“黑人不孕症”一词的参与度最高。2020年关于黑人不孕症的内容中有10%引用了同行评审期刊中的原始研究，而2021年这一比例为50%。与2020年相比，2021年社交参与度更高的链接更有可能有学术来源（优势比，1.30）。讨论黑人不孕症情感代价的文章用户参与度最高。
社交媒体用户接触到关于黑人生育的误导性或不准确信息的比例与准确内容相似。社交媒体可能传播错误信息，本研究将社交媒体视为一个机会，以改善针对黑人女性的教育，提高体外受精服务的利用率。
