Over 90% of teens use any kind of social media, not just to interact with their friends but also to learn or to gain information that they think is important. And with these teens, there are over 88% have health insurances. But they know so little about their health care, health benefit and how it works. A two-year project, funded by a $1.1 million grant from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development of the National Institutes of Health want to help teens to understand how health care works and help them to gain knowledge about it. They believe a web-based social media platform can help teens to understand how health care works and encourage them to use it.
