CONTENT AND LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

Whether you follow, like or reject social media, it cannot be ignored. Social media’s effect on peoples’ food choices is controversial, and may undermine healthy eating behaviours. Improving our understanding in this area is important as it can help us to better guide people in their use of social media food content.

In this Journal Club session, we’ll discuss a web-based conversation study exploring the influence social media can have on young adults’ dietary behaviours.

This session covers:

  • How social media influences dietary behaviours
  • Social media use and its application in eating behaviour change research and practice
  • Regulation of social media food advertisements
  • How to critically analyse a published qualitative research article
