Facebook will allow patients in support groups to post questions anonymously.
, surveyed more than 400 patients earlier this year and found that 98% still use Facebook, 94% are part of a health-related Facebook group, and only 3% have deleted their account because of privacy concerns. The report's authors concluded that for many patients,Ashley M. Greiner, an attorney who suffers from congestive heart failure, has been working with Facebook on the new feature.
Greiner requested that Facebook make it easier for her 1,600 members to post anonymously, but the company had mostly insisted that users post with their real names . Greiner said she was able to get in touch with the Facebook health team after she was referred by another person in the group, who happened to get a job at Facebook.
"I have members who want to ask questions, and they don't want to offend anyone, or they just don't want a spouse or caregiver to see it," she said. "Anonymous posting is a great step toward making support groups better."
