Abstract

With the vigorous development of the Internet nowadays, social media platforms have become an important channel for the public to obtain health information. This study focuses on the topic of “Patriotic Health Campaign” on Weibo and WeChat platforms and conducts an in-depth content analysis from multiple perspectives such as communication content, form, and subject. The research results show that the Weibo platform is characterized by rapid dissemination, strong timeliness, and high interactivity. Moreover, the content on Weibo is rich and diverse, attracting a large number of users to participate in discussions in the form of pictures, texts, and videos accompanied by topic tags. WeChat, on the other hand, emphasizes the popularization of in-depth health knowledge. It establishes a close connection with users through exquisite graphic and text layout, the combination of long articles and links, as well as various interactive forms. This study summarizes effective health communication strategies, providing a reference for social media to carry out health communication activities, thus enhancing the public’s health literacy and promoting the cultivation of healthy behaviors.
