Once upon a time… there was the Internet • Great potential • Increasing number of interventions
Problem • Possibly effective in behaviour change • Low exposure rates
Terminology • Dissemination • Exposure • Accessing • Staying • Revisiting
Adolescents • Many health risk behaviours are acquired during adolescence • Grew up with the Internet • Not likely to be internally motivated
Outline • Explorative research • Systematic review • Delphi study • Focus group interviews • Applied research • Effectiveness of strategies • Generalising to multiple behaviours • Tracking exposure
Dissemination • Embedding in a social context • Cross-medial promotion • Ambiguous picture • Research setting
Exposure: accessing • Recommendations through WOM • Attractive interface at first sight
Exposure: staying • Look and feel • Visual material and interactive features • Content purpose • Credibility
Exposure: revisiting • Commitment • New content • Monitoring
Measuring exposure • Heterogeneous measures • More insight into intensity of exposure • Potentially mediating effects
Considerations • If the mountain will not come to Mahomet, should Mahomet go to the mountain? • When is dissemination successful? • How could strategies which aim to improve dissemination and exposure be tested on effectiveness?
Consideration #1 • If the mountain will not come to Mahomet, should Mahomet go to the mountain? • Awareness • Popular online places • Reason to visit • Collaborations
Consideration #2 • When is dissemination successful? • Absolute figures • Denominator • Cut off point • Methods of analysis
Consideration #3 • How could strategies which aim to improve dissemination and exposure be tested on effectiveness? • Controlled settings • Time series design • Intervention x user
