Population Health in a Digital Age: Patterns in the use of social media in Wales.

There is growing interest in the use of social media to support action to promote and protect health, share health information and inform the development of digitally delivered health systems. To maximise the opportunities of social media to improve or protect health and reduce
heath inequalities, we need to understand the extent to which people in Wales use social media, and how patterns of use vary across population groups. Based on the Digital Technology and Health survey, this is the second report in a series of publications on Population Health in a Digital Age and focuses on better understanding who in Wales uses which types of social media platforms.
