Abstract
To our knowledge, our study is the first empirical evaluation of a social media-based public health intervention framework for men who have sex with men. We found that social media data were correlated with offline sexual health and substance use, verified through biological testing. The proof of concept and initial results validate that public health interventions can indeed use social media-based systems to successfully determine offline health risk behaviors. The findings demonstrate the promise of deploying a social media-based just-in-time adaptive intervention to target substance use and HIV risk behavior.
