Framing Pro-Anorexia Discourse on YouTube in South Korea: Social Network and Exponential Random Graph Model Analysis of Video Communities

Pro-ana discourse on YouTube is fragmented into "refracted publics." Meso-level individual channels using recovery narratives serve as critical bridges across polarized frames. Public health efforts should partner with mid-tier influencers to co-create emotionally resonant recovery content that disrupts echo chambers and fosters cross-frame dialogue.

Abstract

Pro-ana discourse on YouTube is fragmented into "refracted publics." Meso-level individual channels using recovery narratives serve as critical bridges across polarized frames. Public health efforts should partner with mid-tier influencers to co-create emotionally resonant recovery content that disrupts echo chambers and fosters cross-frame dialogue.
