Practical social media recommendations for dementia prevention researchers.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Practical social media recommendations are needed to facilitate greater engagement in dementia prevention research. Alongside relevant experts, our aim was to develop a set of consensus recommendations that reflect the values and priorities of prospective participants to guide social media use.

Methods

We conducted a three-round, modified Delphi consisting of three online surveys and three conferences calls. The diverse, international Delphi panel comprised 16 experts with lived (n = 10) and professional (n = 6) experiences. Consensus was defined a priori as ≥ 70% agreement.

Results

Twenty-six items achieved consensus. Two items reached consensus in round 1: ethical considerations of closed social media groups (88%) and of social media users
