Providers aiming content at patients should address patient priorities both online and in clinical practice while improving readability to enhance digital health literacy. Given the vast reach of social media, fertility specialists should consider establishing a presence to educate and engage with patients effectively.

Abstract

There is misalignment between what patients ask and what providers discuss on social media. Providers aiming content at patients should address patient priorities both online and in clinical practice while improving readability to enhance digital health literacy. Given the vast reach of social media, fertility specialists should consider establishing a presence to educate and engage with patients effectively.
