  • Reddit users’ reactance to the 2025 CDC Data Purge

    Lili R Romann, Lexi McNamara et al.ARTICLEInformation Communication & Society2026

    Following an executive order signed by Donald Trump to prevent ‘woke ideology’ from permeating everyday American lives and institutions, the Department of Health and Human Services complied by removing a large amount of health-related information from government websites. These information pages and websites pertain to reproductive health, adolescent and LGBTQ + health, and HIV. In response, contributors to the subreddit r/DataHoarder collaborati…

  • “Google Didn’t Get a Medical Degree”

    Lili R Romann, Elizabeth A HintzARTICLEHealth Communication2026

    Patients are engaging in unprecedented levels of online health information-seeking (e.g., via TikTok, Google). Guided by shared decision-making (SDM) theorizing, this study illuminates health care workers' (HCWs) perspectives of patients' use of online health information in clinical encounters. We identify third-party health information (i.e., health information from beyond a clinical encounter) as a decision-making agent in the SDM process. Appl…

  • Navigating Healthcare as a Woman of Color With Autoimmune Disease

    Open AccessLili R Romann, Elizabeth A Hintz et al.ARTICLEQualitative Health Research2026

    Women of color with autoimmune disease experience communicative dilemmas at the intersection of their triply minoritized (i.e., ethnic-racial, gender, and illness) identities during interactions with their healthcare providers (HCPs), which shape their care. Sensitized by intersectionality and normative rhetorical theory (NRT), the present study interrogates taken-for-granted assumptions reflected in HCPs’ communication, as recalled by 150 Black …

  • The balancing act

    Open AccessLili R Romann, Anne Oeldorf-Hirsch et al.ARTICLENew Media & Society2026Referências: 4

    Although social media platforms provide affirming information and interactions, they might also serve as venues to (re)traumatize individuals through exposure to sensitive content, especially related to mental illness (e.g. suicide, self-harm). Applying the trauma-informed design framework, we employ a two-pronged methodological approach to evaluate (1) what potentially sensitive or traumatizing content relate to mental illness individuals report…

  • Disseminating Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder Information on TikTok

    Lili R Romann, Emily PfenderARTICLEHealth Communication2025

    Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) is characterized as an extreme form of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) in which a combination of severe mood, somatic, and cognitive symptoms present one to two weeks prior to the onset of menstruation. As people increasingly turn to social media, specifically TikTok, to gain information about health-related topics and information, discourse about this taboo chronic condition has increased. Sensitized by concept…

  • Character assassination as a communicative phenomenon

    Open AccessMadeline J Moore, Lili R Romann et al.ARTICLEAnnals of the International…2025

    This retrospective review synthesizes communication scholarship concerning character assassination (CA) or the deliberate destruction of a target’s character by an attacker. We first review the five pillars of CA, before tracing the development of CA across the three subfields of communication most prevalent in our sample: Political communication, rhetoric, and persuasion; mediated/mass communication and new communication technologies; and public…

  • Exploring social media users’ experiences with algorithmic transparency cues

    Open AccessAnne Oeldorf-Hirsch, Lili R Romann et al.ARTICLENew Media & Society2025Referências: 6

    All mainstream social media platforms now use algorithms to display recommended content, and some (e.g. Instagram, LinkedIn) have started showing what we call algorithmic transparency cues about why certain posts are recommended. However, little is known about what cues users see on their own feeds and how they experience them. Thus, using an online survey ( N = 515) of adult U.S. social media users, we gathered data about two research questions:…

  • Framing Chronic Pain in U.S. News Coverage of the Opioid Epidemic (2012-2022)

    Jacqueline N Gunning, Lili R Romann et al.ARTICLEHealth Communication2024

    Chronic pain, pain persisting longer than six months, afflicts 20% of the U.S. population and is the leading cause of disability. To manage pain, many chronic pain patients (CPPs) and healthcare providers turn to opioids, prescription medications that block pain signals and offer relief. However, in light of the U.S.’ ongoing opioid epidemic, CPPs without a history of opioid use disorder (OUD) are facing increased stigma when seeking opioid medic…
