Exploring online social networks of school leaders in times of Covid‐19
The COVID‐19 pandemic has raised a wide range of challenges for school leaders that they now (rapidly) have to address. Consequently, they also turn to informal learning networks, in order to share and collect information and reach out to their communities. In this context, the current study investigates the underlying networks structures among school leaders, what type of information is being shared, and what differences can be identified when c…
Factors Related to Breastfeeding Support in Lebanese Daycare Centers
Breastfeeding has an important impact on maternal and child health, and is affected by several factors influencing its initiation and continuation. This qualitative study aimed to assess the main promoting and hindering factors for breastfeeding support in Lebanese daycare centers (DCCs), through the perspective of their directors and employees. The study was based on semi-structured interviews with 13 directors and 9 employees. It explored the i…
Breastfeeding Communication Strategies, Challenges and Opportunities in the Twitter-Verse
Using social media is one important strategy to communicate research and public health guidelines to the scientific community and general public. Empirical evidence about which communication strategies are effective around breastfeeding messaging is scarce. To fill this gap, we aimed to identify influencers in the largest available Twitter database using social network analysis ( n = 10,694 users), inductively analyze tweets, and explore communic…
Friendship and support networks among students with disabilities in middle school
Breastfeeding promotion on Twitter
The importance of breastfeeding for maternal and infant health is well-established, yet complex and intertwined sociocultural barriers contribute to suboptimal breastfeeding rates in most countries. Large-scale campaigns for evidence dissemination and promotion through targeted interventions on social media may help overcome some of these barriers. To date, most breastfeeding research on social media only focuses on content analysis, and there re…
Distance, diffusion and the role of social media in a time of Covid contagion
On 11 March 2020, The World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 a pandemic and began announcing global health recommendations to decrease morbidity and mortality. Serendipitously, our team of health and social scientists captured data related to the diffusion of information about COVID-19 and breastfeeding and prompted this commentary. Since December 2019, we have been capturing Twitter data and employing social network analyses to examin…
A qualitative examination of barriers against effective medical education and practices related to breastfeeding promotion and support in Lebanon
Background : Insufficient breastfeeding promotion and support by physicians contribute to suboptimal breastfeeding rates globally. Understanding setting-specific barriers against breastfeeding promotion and support from the perspective of medical students and addressing those that can be modified through undergraduate medical education may help improve learning outcomes, medical practice, and ultimately health outcomes associated with breastfeedi…
Exploring the latitude of attitude
School-based breastfeeding education (SBBE) may help improve breastfeeding rates in the long-term by targeting children and adolescents' knowledge, attitudes, skills, and intentions. Breastfeeding rates in Lebanon are suboptimal. Psychosocial drivers of breastfeeding intention among the youth are unknown. We administered a survey to 658 high school students (448 females; 210 males) at two large Lebanese schools to understand intentions, intention…
A case study on breastfeeding education in Lebanon’s public medical school
Our work using breastfeeding as an exemplary case suggests there is a role for better attending to the beliefs of medical students as well as to the social side of medical education. Future studies can use social network theory to help identify and address influences on medical education outcomes
