Abstract
PurposeGiven the popularity of Snapchat with teens, we used this tool to disseminate reproductive health information to adolescent patients. MethodsWe developed a unique Snapcode linked to educational materials located on a cloud service and accessible via the Snapchat app. The Snapcode was printed on a business card and distributed to hospitalized adolescents. We tracked card distribution and how often the materials were accessed through our cloud service and through Snapchat. ResultsA total of 236 cards were distributed to teens with 117 unique scans and 122 views of the PDF. Of the teens who received the card (N = 236), 49.5% of teens used the Snapcode to access reproductive health education. ConclusionsSnapchat is a promising way to distribute educational materials to adolescents in a discrete manner on a platform many teens use. This mechanism demonstrates a way for providers to use Snapchat as a tool to provide education to hospitalized adolescents.
