Social media have become one of the most prevalent online information seeking platforms for the public. User information seeking behavior on social media is different from that on other information seeking platforms. Meanwhile， since social media allow a huge number of users to generate information online， new concepts， terms， and topics are emerging on social media and meanings of existing terms and topics keep changing all the time. Among numerous topics discussed on social media， the health-related topic is a major category which attracts increasing attention from the public.
This book reviewed the existing studies on social media and health information on social media， and summarized the main concepts， methods， and research findings from these studies. Moreover， this book investigated and explored the evolution patterns of family-health-related topics on Wikipedia—a typical type of social media platform.
Two family-health-related topics (Family Planning and Women’s Health) were selected from the World Health Organization Website and their associated entries were retrieved from Wikipedia. Historical numeric and text data of the entries from 2010 to 2017 were collected from a Wikipedia data dump and Wikipedia Web pages. Four periods were defined: 2010 to 2011， 2012 to 2013， 2014 to 2015， and 2016 to 2017. Coding， subject analysis， descriptive statistical analysis， inferential statistical analysis， SOM approach， and n-gram approach were employed to explore the internal characteristics and external popularity evolutions of the topics.
As a relatively new concept， social media has been defined by different researchers from different research fields. Ahlqvist et al. (2008) defined social media as the way people generate， share and communicate information in virtual communities and networks. Kaplan and Haenlein (2010) gave their definition， which defined social media as “a group of Internet-based applications that build on the ideological and technological foundations of Web 2.0 and that allow the creation and exchange of User Generated Content” (p. 61). In their opinions， Web 2.0 is the platform for the improvement of social media， while user-generated content is the sum of the ways people use social media. Although these two definitions are different to some extent， they still have features in common. One is that both of them agree that social media is dependent upon a virtual environment that allows users to produce information and knowledge， and interact with each other. Another is that the content within social media is spontaneously created by users.
