Data for: Teething Beliefs and Amber Necklaces: A Content Analysis of Users Perspectives from Facebook Comments

This is a qualitative digital study with a complementary quantitative approach that conducted a content analysis of comments on Facebook posts containing supportive messages about using amber necklaces to alleviate teething symptoms. These comments were sourced from a primary study that employed the CrowdTangle platform to collect and evaluate posts. This study was deemed exempt from approval by the Council of Ethics in Human Research of Bauru School of Dentistry, University of São Paulo. The exemption was granted because federal regulations do not apply to research using publicly available data that does not involve human subjects. It is noteworthy that while the user data is publicly accessible, it has been anonymized to ensure confidentiality prior to its inclusion in this data repository. To be included in this analysis, the comments must meet all the following criteria: i) the comment must be published in Portuguese; ii) the comment must be related to the use of amber necklace for preventing teething symptoms; and iii) the comment must contain text expressing Facebook users' beliefs, experiences, impressions, knowledge, or interests related to amber necklaces. Conversely, the comments did not provide substantial content for the analysis, and duplicates were subsequently excluded from consideration. NOTE: This file contains the comments collected in the study, already anonymized and divided into units of analysis. Different sentences with the same identification number (#) correspond to different units of analysis belonging to the same comment. The colors indicate the date the comment was made, dichotomized by the median number of days elapsed since the comment was made.
