Washington, Sept. 4 (ANI): A recent study has found that teenagers who see their friends' smoking and drinking alcohol in photographs posted on social media networks like Facebook and MySpace are likely to get influenced and indulge in such a behavior themselves.
The study conducted by the University of Southern California (USC) found that the size of one's online network of friends was not significantly associated with risky behavior but their exposure to friends' online pictures of partying or drinking was significantly associated with both smoking and alcohol use.
Teens whose close friends did not drink alcohol were more likely to be affected by increasing exposure to risky online pictures
The study's principal investigator Thomas W. Valente said it is the first study to apply social network analysis methods to examine how teenagers' activities on online social networking sites influence their smoking and alcohol use.
The survey was conducted on 1,563 10th-grade students in Los Angeles County about their online and offline friendship networks and the frequency of their social media use, smoking and alcohol consumption.
Co-researcher Grace C. Huang said that the evidence suggests that friends' online behaviors are a viable source of peer influence adding that 95 percent of 12 to 17 year olds in the United States access the Internet every day, and 80 percent of those youth use online social networking sites to communicate.
It was found that while Facebook use did not seem to affect smoking or drinking, higher levels of Myspace use was associated with higher levels of drinking. (ANI)

Quantia, an online community for doctors and the healthcare companies that want to market to them, has $10 million more in the bank. On Tuesday, the company said it had raised $7.5 million from Safeguard Scientifics in a $10 million Series B round. Currentinvestors, including Fuse Capital, contributed the remaining $2.5 million. The round follows $12 million raised in October and will be used for sales and marketing, the company said.
As doctors schedules become ever tighter, leaving less time for pharmaceutical sales reps and others peddling healthcare products and services, Quantia claims its site QuantiaMD gives doctors a place to engage with peers, while giving clients an effective environment for marketing. The service is free to doctors but charges other companies interested in building a presence on the site.
For doctors, a site like Quantia offers a private and secure place to tap the wisdom of peers and thats becoming increasingly attractive to physicians concerned about an uptick in government scrutiny surrounding digital health information. But its hardly the only site that offers peer-to-peer networking for medical professionals.
Doximity, a LinkedIn for doctors, provides physicians a free site for collaboration while earning revenue by charging clients who want to recruit doctors and find medical experts. And Sermo, which was acquired last year by health intelligence company WorldOne, also provides a peer forum for doctors while charging other companies to conduct online focus groups and surveys among its community. In addition to the funding, Quantia said it had surpassed 200,000 members, a benchmark similarly exceeded by Doximity last month.
