Singapore-based renal social service agencies' Facebook posts from two periods: pre-COVID-19 (January 23, 2019 to June 2, 2019) and peri-COVID-19 (January 23, 2020 to June 1, 2020). The dataset contains the content of posts from the National Kidney Foundation, Kidney Dialysis Foundation, and Muslim Kidney Action Association, extracted on July 28, 2020, and includes manually annotated themes.

Use Cases

• Train text classification models to identify themes in health-related social media posts.

Strengths

• Data covers a defined pre- and peri-COVID-19 period, enabling temporal comparison.
• Includes posts from three distinct Singaporean renal social service agencies.
• Posts are annotated with themes, adding a layer of structured analysis.

Limitations

• Row count and file format are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data is from a single snapshot in July 2020; freshness for current analysis is unverified.
