Temporal Trends of Psychosociobehavioral Factors Underlying Tobacco Use: A Semi-Automated Exploratory Analysis of Peer-to-Peer Communication in a Health-Related Online Community.
Online communities have been an integral part of tobacco cessation programs. They are rich in content, and offer insights into factors affecting an individual's behavior change efforts. We used word representation techniques to infer implicit meaning embedded in messages exchanged in a health-related online community. Our analysis of peer interactions revealed that individuals factor in safety, glamour, expense, and media projection when choosing a form of nicotine intake. When choosing pharmacotherapy techniques, individuals focus on brands, dosage, and side effects associated with each form (e.g. gums, patches). Our analysis sheds light on factors embedded in peer interactions, which might lead to opinion formation based on peer influence and knowledge dissemination in these social platforms. Such understanding enables design of high-engagement behavior change technologies, through personalization of content delivery by factoring in individual-level beliefs, behavioral state, and community-level influences.
