Objectives:
Many reproductive-aged individuals use social media platforms to gather medical advice or find community. TikTok is one of the fastest growing social media platforms and used by many reproductive-aged individuals.
Methods:
We evaluated the top 100 English-language videos on cervical cancer screening and dysplasia treatment for relevance to the hashtag and content quality and accuracy.
Results:
Among the included videos, most of the content highlighted patients' personal experiences and provided little medical educational value. Notably, the videos created by medical professionals were higher quality and more often contained accurate health information.
Conclusions:
This study highlights the need to increase content quality on TikTok to raise awareness and uptake for cervical cancer screening and treatment in reproductive-aged individuals.
