The authors base their findings on a survey of the Facebook activities of 405 postgraduate trainee doctors (residents and fellows) at Rouen University Hospital in France. Half those sent the questionnaire returned it.
Almost three out of four respondents (73%) said they had a Facebook profile, with eight out of 10 saying they had had a presence on the site for at least a year. Those with a profile tended to be slightly younger than those who didn't.
One in four (24%) logged on to the site several times a day, but almost half (49%) logged on once a day or several times a week. The rest were rather more infrequent users of the site.
