Using multilevel regression with poststratification to obtain regional health estimates from a Facebook-recruited sample.

CONCLUSIONS: MRP can improve prevalence estimates from self-selected Internet-based samples, although a nonnegligible amount of bias may remain. Illustrating the utility and limitations of this method will help researchers develop relevant estimates of the local public health burden, helping local health officials better understand and reduce poor health outcomes.
