Results:

358 tweets were obtained, classified in three coding matrices related to: Associations of Midwives of Spain, Mentions of the FAME twitter account and Categories of the FAME tweets.

Discussion:

Social activity on Twitter was intense in the first years and scarce in the last due to the COVID-19 pandemic, unlike most scientific associations. FAME uses its account to disseminate information related to women's health and the visibility of midwives, relating it to current issues.

Conclusions:

Due to their growing impact, social networks should serve as information systems between science and society, and professionals should know and use these types of tools. It is necessary to have sources of information that reflect the health of women and the FAME demonstrated its knowledge of this fact through its tweets published during the period analyzed.
