Abstract

This study examines the emerging field of Media Epidemiology, which investigates how social media and digital communication platforms influence public health behaviors and outcomes. Using a case of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning linked to a TikTok influencer's video, the study highlights social media's dual role in disseminating life-saving health information and the challenges posed by gaps in awareness within communities. It emphasizes the potential of social media to facilitate rapid health communication and preventive actions across all levels of disease prevention, advocating for its integration into public health strategies. The research underscores the importance of leveraging digital platforms to enhance health education, early disease detection, and community engagement in health promotion.
