Abstract

This study explored (1) health care provider (HCP) perceived barriers and facilitators to social media communication about sexual health with adolescent and young adult survivors, and (2) strategies that can help HCPs navigate social media use for this purpose. Thematic analysis of 11 semistructured HCP interviews resulted in four themes and suggests that social media platforms offer a promising avenue to foster sexual health communication but that resources and training are needed to improve HCP capacity to use this approach ethically and effectively. Future studies are needed to determine specific communication strategies and whether these strategies would lead to improved outcomes.
