Quick question.... do you or does your organization Tweet? We'd love to know about it (@mhiknethttp://twitter.com/mhiknet) . If you've never been on Twitter the opportunity for collaboration and discussion in the field of health care is amazing especially in the area of health promotion. But don't take my word for it! Here are two recent articles.
Online J Issues Nurs. 2012 Sep 30;17(3):4. Health tweets: an exploration of health promotion on twitter.http://bit.ly/Itg1th Donelle L, Booth RG.
J Med Internet Res. 2013 Aug 19;15(8):e177. doi: 10.2196/jmir.2775. Use of twitter among local health departments: an analysis of information sharing, engagement, and action.http://1.usa.gov/1aZmXIG Neiger BL, Thackeray R, Burton SH, Thackeray CR, Reese JH.
