Noh, Mijeong. "Understanding the Effect of Information Sources on College Students’ Recycling/Reuse Behavior towards Clothing and Textile Products." Sustainability 13, no. 11 (2021): 6298. http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/su13116298.
Full textAbstract:
This study investigated how college students’ exposure to recycling/reuse information through various sources, such as education, media, and interpersonal communication sources, affects their subjective norms, recycling/reuse attitude, intention and behavior. A self-administered online survey was conducted to ask questions about exposure frequency to recycling/reuse information sources, subjective norms, attitude, intention, and behavior based on the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA). The final sample consisted of 725 participants from MTurk. Structural equation modeling was used to test six hypotheses. The results showed that obtaining recycling/reuse information through media sources led college students to have a positive attitude, positively affecting their recycling/reuse intention and behavior, whereas the information obtained from college education sources positively influenced their intention and behavior via inducing either positive subjective norms or positive subjective norms and subsequently attitude. Interpersonal communication sources were neither effective in developing positive subjective norms nor recycling/reuse attitude. Significant findings may provide important insights into how educators, environmental agencies, and brand managers can more effectively manage information sources to promote college students’ recycling and reuse attitude, intention, and behavior.

Full textAbstract:
Objective – To determine the information seeking behaviors of primary care practitioners in order to inform future efforts towards the design of information services that would support quality in primary care.
 
 Design – A cross-sectional survey.
 
 Setting – A primary care practice based research network (PBRN) of caregivers who serve a broad population while simultaneously studying and disseminating innovations aimed at improvements in quality, efficiency and/or safety of primary health care in the United States. 
 
 Subjects – All primary care practitioners in the PBRN including family practitioners, general practitioners, nurse practitioners and physician assistants. 
 
 Methods – A questionnaire comprising twenty-six questions was distributed to 116 practitioners. Practitioners attached to academic centres (who were also members of the PBRN) were excluded in order “to achieve a sample of practices more representative of the primary care practising population” (208). Descriptive data were collected and analyzed. SPSS v11.5 was used for statistical analyses.
 
 Main results – There was a response rate of 51% (59 of 116). Fifty-eight percent of the respondents stated that they sought information (excluding drug dosing or drug interactions information) to support patient care several times a week. Sixty-eight per cent sought this information while the patient waited. Almost half of the respondents had access to a small medical library (48%) or a hospital library (46%), while 21% used a university medical library. Approximately 14% had no immediate access to a medical library. Almost 60% of practitioners stated that they had an e-mail account. Thirty-four percent agreed that the use of e-mail to communicate with patients enhanced medical practice, while 24% disagreed. There was frequent prescribing of Internet-based consumer health information to patients by only 16% of the practitioners, while Internet support groups were frequently recommended by 5%. The main barriers to information seeking were lack of time (76%), cost (33%), information seeking skills (25%), and format of information sources (22%). The use of EBM resources was fairly low, while there was a high preference for ready reference and interpersonal sources. When compared with print information resources, the use of online resources was moderate. A significant correlation was found between use of online sources and use of print sources, namely, that practitioners who used online sources more frequently, also sought information from print sources more frequently, with the inverse being true for those who sought information less frequently from either electronic or print sources.
 
 Conclusion – Primary care practitioners in this rural PBRN used print and interpersonal sources more than online sources. Practitioners who are more likely to use print sources are also more likely to seek online information. Librarians working in PBRN environments will need to identify interventions that address barriers such as time, cost, and information-seeking skills.

Full textAbstract:
Ten years after the uprising in Syria, millions of its citizens remain displaced and uncertain about their fate. Throughout that period, media coverage about the ensuing civil war played a major role in informing Syrians and contributed to altering their levels of fear and anxiety about their country’s future and their survival prospects. This study examined the role of legacy media, online media, and interpersonal communication in increasing or reducing uncertainty among displaced and non-displaced Syrians. Through a revised construct of uncertainty reduction theory within the context of a civil war, we assessed the relationship between exposure to these media sources and feeling anxious, uncertain, angry, and in danger, and whether these feelings influenced information consumption trends. We also probed the connection between their anxiety levels and sharing information, both interpersonally and on social media. The study surveyed 2,192 Syrian adults (95% CI, ±2.5) living in Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, and Turkey, both inside and outside refugee camps, using a random multistage cluster sampling technique. The findings revealed a strong relationship between positive emotions and time spent on legacy and online media. The more secure, proud, and hopeful people felt, the more likely they were to spend time on media sources. This relationship, however, was moderated by the perceived importance of these sources. Feelings of pride, security, and hopefulness generated by television and online media correlated with the time people spent on these media sources, and the perceived importance of such media further strengthened this relationship. A different picture appeared in the relationship between positive emotions and interpersonal communication, where the perceived importance of talking to people not only significantly moderated the relationship but also canceled out the main effect of positive emotions on the time people spend communicating with others. The findings also indicated that feelings of uncertainty about these sources may stand in the way of sharing information about the war on social media.

"Associations between Vaccination Behavior and Trust in Information Sources Regarding COVID-19 Vaccines under Emergency Approval in Japan: A Cross-Sectional Study." Vaccines 11, no. 2 (2023): 233. http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/vaccines11020233.
Full textAbstract:
We examined the association between COVID-19 vaccination behavior and trust in COVID-19-related information sources during the initial period of COVID-19 vaccination in Japan. A cross-sectional survey was conducted in August 2021, 5 months after the start of COVID-19 vaccination for the general public under emergency approval. Participants were recruited using non-probability quota sampling from among Japanese residents who were under a declared state of emergency. Sociodemographic data, vaccination behavior, and levels of trust in eight media sources of information and three interpersonal information sources were assessed using an online survey form. A total of 784 participants completed the survey. The results of multiple logistic regression analysis showed that age, household income, underlying medical conditions, and living with family were significantly associated with COVID-19 vaccination behavior. Regarding COVID-19 vaccine information sources, trust in public health experts as a source of media information and primary care physicians as a source of interpersonal information showed significantly positive associations with COVID-19 vaccination behavior (odds ratio [OR] = 1.157, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.017–1.31; OR = 1.076; 95% CI 1.006–1.150, respectively). Increasing trust in public health experts and primary care physicians and disseminating vaccine information from these sources will help promote vaccination under emergency approval.

Full textAbstract:
As a promising approach to stop the escalation of the pandemic, COVID-19 vaccine promotion is becoming a challenging task for authorities worldwide. The purpose of this study was to identify the effective sources for disseminating information on the COVID-19 vaccine to promote individuals’ behavioral intention to take the vaccine. Based on the Health Belief Model (HBM), this study illustrated the mechanism of how COVID-19 information acquisition from different sources was transformed into vaccination intentions via health beliefs. Using an online survey in China, the structural equation model results revealed that perceived benefits and cues to action were positively associated with COVID-19 vaccination intentions, and perceived barriers were negatively related to the intentions. However, perceived susceptibility and perceived severity had no significant relationships with the intentions. Moreover, the findings unveiled differences in the effects of acquiring information via multiple sources among traditional media, new media, and interpersonal interactions. Notably, new media and interpersonal interactions were more salient in promoting vaccination intention via health beliefs, compared with traditional media. The findings from this study will benefit health officials in terms of utilizing different information sources in vaccine programs.

Full textAbstract:
Internet strategic communications about elections are commonplace in the 21st Century, but some effects of online campaign exposure are still unknown. Internet usage is a hybrid of informative, strategic, and personal communications, which blurs audience expectations while consuming information. This study examines the effects of online political information sources on perceptions of media bias due to these blurred lines. Hierarchical regression analysis was conducted to examine the effects of receiving candidate and campaign information from online media, interpersonal discussion, and strategic communication on perceptions of media bias. Findings revealed that Internet campaign exposure predicts a higher perception of Internet media bias and news organization bias. Increased online news media exposure also predicts a higher perception of media bias in all professional media.

Full textAbstract:
Background Patients are increasingly taking an active role in their health. In doing so, they combine both mass and interpersonal media to gratify their cognitive and affective needs (ie, convergence). Owing to methodological challenges when studying convergence, a detailed view of how patients are using different types of media for needs fulfillment is lacking. Objective The aim of this study was to obtain insight into the frequency of reported convergence, how convergence affects what posters write online, motives for posting, and the needs posters are trying to fulfill. Methods Using a hybrid method of content analysis and supervised machine learning, this study used naturally available data to fill this research gap. We analyzed opening posts (N=1708) of an online forum targeting cancer patients and their relatives (Kanker.nl). Results Nearly one-third of the forum opening posts contained signs of convergence in mass or interpersonal media. Posts containing mass media references disclosed less personal information and were more geared toward community enhancement and sharing experiences compared to posts without convergence. Furthermore, compared to posts without signs of convergence, posts that included interpersonal media references disclosed more personal information, and posters were more likely to ask for the experiences of fellow users to fulfill their needs. Within posts containing signs of convergence, posts including interpersonal media references reported fewer shortages of information, disclosed more information about the disease, and were more active in seeking other posters’ experiences compared to posts containing mass media references. Conclusions The current study highlights the intertwining of media platforms for patients. The insights of this study can be used to adapt the health care system toward a new type of health information–seeking behavior in which one medium is not trusted to fulfill all needs. Instead, providers should incorporate the intertwinement of sources by providing patients with reliable websites and forums through which they can fulfill their needs.

Full textAbstract:
This study evaluates whether social media plays a role as the main source of information and, at the same time, as information sharing. Research on information-seeking behaviour, information needs, and information sharing has received increasing attention from various scientific communities since COVID-19 was declared a global epidemic. However, efforts have not been made to compare the capabilities of digital and interpersonal channels in both aspects of seeking and sharing information in Indonesia. Among the siege of information sources, identifying the primary sources of information used by students is important if the government is to intervene in health policies to overcome the pandemic. With an online survey conducted on 624 students, this study revealed that social media, which appears to be dominant as a source of COVID-19 information, cannot influence the behaviour of sharing information with others. The ETA correlation test confirms no correlation between the information source and information sharing behaviour. Indonesian students are moved to pass on information from interpersonal communication. In the two-stage communication model, individuals obtain information from the media and then discuss the information with others, which emerged in the conventional era and is still valid in today's digital era. The issue of trust is still inherent in social media, which makes it difficult to confirm the information on social media to be shared with others. The study explains that although communication technology has developed into the digital era, it does not necessarily eliminate the role of conventional technology. Keywords: COVID-19 information seeking and sharing, health communication, interpersonal communication, social media, two-stage communication.

PLOS ONE 18, no. 8 (2023): e0290824. http://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0290824.
Full textAbstract:
Considering that individuals’ health information can enable their adoption of health behaviors, we examined the use of health information sources related to COVID-19 and its association with preventive behaviors in a sample of older residents in Seoul, South Korea (N = 400, M age = 76.1 years). Latent profile analysis of 12 sources of health information representing conventional media, online sources, interpersonal networks, and health professionals or authorities yielded a 4-group typology: limited, moderate/traditional, moderate/digital, and diverse. In a multivariate model with the diverse group as a reference, the limited group (B = −4.48, SE = 1.14, p < .001) and the moderate/digital group (B = −2.73, SE = 0.76, p < .001) were associated with lower adherence to COVID-19 preventive behaviors. Our findings support the heterogeneity in the use of health information sources and the hypothesis that groups with restricted sources of health information would report less desirable behaviors. The findings also underscored the importance of proper use of digital health information. Efforts should be made not only to help older adults with low education access diverse sources of health information, including digital sources, but also to empower them to build digital and health literacy.

Full textAbstract:
This research aims to identify the sources that urban Hui Muslims access to get health information related to cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and how they evaluate the information from different sources. This paper focuses on health information related to cardiovascular diseases among Hui Muslims. The data was gathered by means of an online survey administered on mobile devices. To put the answers given by Hui Muslims into perspective and make a comparison between Hui Muslims and the Han people, we also gathered information from Han—the dominant group in China. The results showed that Chinese Hui Muslims mostly used mediated sources, while Han people mainly used interpersonal sources. Both Hui Muslims and Han people trusted and preferred health information about cardiovascular diseases provided by health organizations, doctors, and healthcare providers. The information given by religious leaders was trusted the least, although Hui Muslims were significantly more positive about religious authority than the Han people. The current results are relevant for Chinese health information promoters and can help them diffuse CVD health information more effectively to urban Hui Muslims.

Full textAbstract:
In January 2015, German retail and industry jointly started a sector-wide initiative (“Initiative Tierwohl” - ITW) to improve animal welfare standards. The principle of the ITW is communicated mostly via the websites of ITW and its participating companies. However, uncertainty remained whether or not these websites provide the necessary information consumers need on the ITW products. Based on Schwartz's basic human values, different types of consumers were identified by a cluster analysis (ward-method, k-means). The results showed that depending on expressed meta-values (Self-Transcendence/Openness to Change Self-Enhancement or Conservation), respondents had different specific information sources and needs. Online sources were rarely mentioned, the majority of consumers referred to brochures, flyers and interpersonal contacts.

Full textAbstract:
Consumers are always influenced by external information before making decisions to purchase energy-saving electric appliances. However, the effects of different information sources are overlooked by previous studies. As a kind of green and safe appliance, the Heat Pump Water Heater (HPWH) is expected to be popular in the Chinese market. This study, based on an investigation in eastern China, will reveal the attitudes of potential consumers to HPWHs and verify the effects of different information sources. The results show that official information (Information from enterprises and governments) can arouse consumers’ positive attitudes toward HPWHs, yet can significantly reduce perceived usefulness among consumers, while unofficial information (Information from relatives and friends) negatively affects their attitudes. Although HPWHs are billed as energy-saving and eco-friendly appliances, consumers can obtain different information from online or offline interpersonal communications to obtain user feedback (which might be negative) before purchase. Some suggestions are proposed to promote energy-saving appliances.

Full textAbstract:
This exploratory study sought to investigate how students are using online health-related technology, including mobile applica-tions, social media accounts, Fitbits or other similar products, gaming devices, and how the use of health technology contributes to their overall health or their perceived needs or barriers to health. Specifically, we sought to gain understanding of the frequency of use of these information sources and/or tools while taking into account personal health factors, including diet, exer-cise, smoking/alcohol consumption, sleep patterns, and stress. We predicted a relationship between use of health technologies and overall health and between BMI and health-related stigma and perceived stress. Additionally we explored motivations and barriers to health technology use and perceived credibility of different health-related technology sources. The results found that the convenience of the technologies was the most important motive for student use while privacy issues emerged as the most important barriers to use. The findings also demonstrated that face-to-face sources of health information are seen as more credible than online health information and this finding supports the two-step flow of communication process involving the use of health technologies and interpersonal communication about health. Health gaming and online support groups/communities (while controlling for other factors) were found to be the most important technologies in terms of predicting overall student health.

Full textAbstract:
As a kind of disease risk, the global spread of the COVID-19 may just be a microcosm of the global risk society. Affected by the epidemic, people adopt more online virtual connections and have become more dependent on social media. This paper conducted the online social support of Chinese fellow-townsman analysis via conducting online participatory observations on the QQ group of Xinhua immigrants and conducting in-depth interviews with 15 of them. This study found that the social support obtained by the Chinese Fellow Townsman through the Internet interpersonal mutual aid network has made up for the shortcomings of formal social support to a certain extent. In the risk society, it helps individuals get immediate and personalized help. In terms of online social support sources, the Internet social support of Chinese Fellow Townsman mainly comes from bridging social capital. From the perspective of online support content, the online social support of this group is mainly manifested in emotional support, companionship support, and informational support, and the role of tangible support is relatively weak. As to the support effect, through the Online social support from the group, the peers can obtain timely, diverse, and non-redundant information to help them make better decisions. But the ability of interpersonal networks to provide resources is limited. When necessary, we still need social support from the government and other formal organizations.

Patients' access to healthcare settings has been restricted to contain the spread of COVID-19, such as altering their health information-seeking behaviors, but this has not been documented among hypertensive patients. This study explored how patients obtain health information about hypertension during COVID-19. Face-to-face and online interviews were employed, and a semi-structured questionnaire was used to guide the interview. Two major themes emerged about the information sources: interpersonal and online. Patients seek health information from family members, healthcare professionals, friends, and online platforms. This study demonstrates that patients continue to seek health information during Pandemic COVID-19 to ensure that their hypertension remains under control.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Investigating health information-seeking behavior among elderly slum dwellers empowers them with vital knowledge, enabling informed decisions and timely healthcare access. Understanding their unique information-seeking patterns aids in tailoring public communication campaigns, ultimately enhancing a healthier and more resilient community. In the Kibera slum, the elderly face a dearth of health information owing to their low socioeconomic status. Limited access to resources, including accessibility to various health information sources, exacerbates their informational gap. This hinders their ability to make informed decisions, potentially leading to delayed or inadequate healthcare, further compromising their well-being. The study presents findings on patterns of media use and health information seeking among the elderly in one of Africa’s biggest slums, Kibera. Patterns of media usage for health information among elderly slum dwellers based on age group, income, education level, and geographical location were investigated. Aims: This study's primary objective was to assess media use patterns for health information among elderly slum dwellers. Method: Interviews, focus group discussions, and key informant interviews targeting the elderly living in the Kibera slum were conducted. Qualitative findings identified Radio, Phone calls, WhatsApp, SMS, Email, Video calls, Television, Online Radio, Online Television, Facebook, Twitter, and Websites as health information sources across different demographic backgrounds. Results: These channels empowered elderly slum dwellers with knowledge, promoting positive lifestyle changes such as healthy eating. Conclusion: Recommendations to enhance these media channels include tailoring radio broadcasts to address the specific health concerns of older adults, innovative interpersonal communication approaches, and user-centered online media design which enhances accessibility. Conclusion: These results provide significant findings on media usage patterns for health information among elderly slum dwellers from different demographic backgrounds. The study identifies media usage patterns for health information, the types of health information sought from these channels, the behaviors promoted by these sources, and provides recommendations on how to improve these media channels.

Full textAbstract:
To understand what motivates people to attend to information about clinical trial enrollment, this study applies the risk information seeking and processing model (RISP) to explore potential differences in multichannel information seeking between (a) the general population and (b) cancer patients and their caregivers. The unique context of clinical trial enrollment grants this research an opportunity to study the RISP model in relation to a risk issue with varying relevance to the two samples as well as to investigate the role of emotion on information seeking. Key results suggested that risk perception and negative emotions had opposite effects on information seeking across the two samples; however, optimistic feelings had the most consistent, positive effects on seeking from all three types of information sources: interpersonal, traditional media, and online. These findings suggest important theoretical and practical implications in relation to promoting information seeking related to clinical trial enrollment among the general population as well as among specific patient groups.

Full textAbstract:
Objective: The peer interaction–based online model has been influential in the recent development of diabetes management. This model “extends and innovates” the traditional mode of doctor–patient guidance, transforming it into a mode in which both doctor–patient guidance and patient–patient interaction coexist; this new mode has the added advantage of offering “extended continual intervention.” This study contributes to research on extending diabetes management models by investigating how patients with diabetes or prediabetes interact in online health communities, focusing on the interrelationship between self-efficacy characteristics and online participation during patient–patient interactions. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, participants with diabetes of various severities completed an electronic questionnaire, which was formulated with a revised classical scale. The questionnaire was disseminated through diabetes online health communities. Its content covered the respondent’s general condition, self-evaluation of their self-efficacy, and participation in online health communities, specifically with respect to factors such as the time spent in online information each day, the number of groups joined, and the extent of interaction in diabetes online health communities, etc. The main observation indicators were the participants’ self-efficacy, their extent of online participation, and the characteristics of online health communities. Descriptive statistics, chi-square test, linear trend estimation, and ordinal logistic regression were used to explore the relationship between the three indicators. Results: The self-efficacy scores ( x ¯ ± s) were 51.9 ± 9.12, and 59.1% of interviewed participants had self-efficacy scores greater than the mean. Overall, most participants (96%) considered online diabetes social platforms to be helpful. Groups differed with respect to interaction mode, which indicated that people with high self-efficacy tend to employ various modes of interaction. Participants with high self-efficacy were also more likely to live in cities (p < 0.05) and be married (p < 0.05) and tended to spend more time paying attention to group information (p < 0.05), spend more time viewing group information (p < 0.05), and have a greater degree of interaction with group members (p < 0.05). Information sources for the different grades of participants was primarily obtained from social media. Conclusion: Among people with diabetes, the frequency and intensity of online interaction might positively affect self-efficacy and, by implication, diabetes self-management. Diabetics with high self-efficacy also tend to have positive online interaction and adopt different ways of interaction. In addition, the diabetes information sources of the respondents mainly come from social networks, most of the respondents think that online social networking sites have a positive impact on diabetes self-management, which shows that social network plays an important role in diabetes information source of diabetics. However, the design of online health communities has room for improvement, specifically with respect to the provision of information that patients require. As an interesting side note, among people with diabetes or prediabetes, those who lived in urban area and were married, those who paid more attention to group information, and those who actively participated in interactions tended to have relatively high self-efficacy. The results suggest that people with diabetes have higher-quality self-care when they engage in online health community interactions; such benefits cannot be obtained from treatment in a hospital. In general, enhanced self-efficacy in people with diabetes enables them to more readily acquire diabetes-related knowledge. Online interaction with diabetics, who has the same experience, can not only get more information, but also have a sense of identity and belonging, which enhances self-efficacy and further urges them to actively participate in online interaction. Therefore, online health communities are an important supplement to the clinical treatment of diabetes mellitus and clinicians can take advantage of the educational function of online diabetes groups in their provision of tailored diabetes interventions and take into account the factors that affect the self-efficacy of diabetics (including the frequency and intensity of online interaction, age, marital status, residential area, etc.), to provide tailored diabetes interventions for diabetics. Such a use of online diabetes groups can strengthen diabetes self-management.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractLatina and Vietnamese women are disproportionately burdened by human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated cervical cancer and underutilize the HPV vaccine, which is an effective cancer prevention measure. To inform the adaptation of a National Cancer Institute’s evidence-based cancer control program, HPV Vaccine Decision Narratives, and because of the rapidly changing information concerning consumption patterns of young adults, we elicited preferences and characteristics associated with women’s interest in various health information sources, specifically for HPV vaccination. We conducted 50 interviews with young Latina and Vietnamese women at two Planned Parenthood health centers in Southern California. Interview questions were guided by the Channel Complementarity Theory and focused on understanding the multiple communication channels women turn to for health, and the characteristics that motivate their use. Our results showed that Latina and Vietnamese women turn to many sources, from online and social media to school health classes, mothers, and doctors. Specific characteristics that motivate women’s online use of health information included immediacy and access, convenience and credibility. When receiving HPV vaccine information, privacy, avoiding information overload, interpersonal engagement, and receiving health information from trusted sources was important. Our study advances the prevention literature by elevating the role of platform delivery considerations and emphasizing preferences to effectively reach Latina and Vietnamese women, who are disproportionately burdened by HPV cancers and are less aware of HPV vaccine prevention. These results can be used to further inform the dissemination of this cancer control program. Adaptation of the program should include changes to its delivery, such that trusted sources are used, and dissemination is coordinated to send a consistent message across multiple communication methods.

Full textAbstract:
The COVID-19 pandemic is a challenge for all parties and needs a fast, precise and integrated response. Nurses as the frontline are the people most at risk of contracting this disease. Changes in all aspects require that nurses can collaborate with other interprofessional teams and makes nurses vulnerable to pressure and stress that can lead to conflict. The role of nursing managers in creating a conducive work atmosphere and preventing interprofessional conflicts is needed. This study used literature reviews through the ScienceDirect online database, SAGE journals, Wiley Online Library and other sources, which aims to analyze the strategy of nurse managers in preventing interprofessional conflicts in the era of the COVID-19 pandemic. The results show that providing education on the control and prevention of COVID-19 infection, supervision, improving effective communication through information technology, optimizing workflows, improving nursing standards, providing support and implementing crisis management are strategies that can be used by nurse managers. Assertiveness can be used as conflict management to prevent interprofessional conflicts in the pandemic era. Each profession can communicate positively with other interprofessional teams, accept each other and carry out professional responsibility and making decisions about COVID-19 patients.

The pervasive idea of web-based media stages brought about a lot of sight and sound information in interpersonal organizations. The transparency and unlimited way of sharing the data via online media stage encourages data spread across the organization paying little mind to its noteworthiness.The multiplication of misdirecting data in regular access news sources, for example, web-based media channels, news websites, and online papers has made it trying to recognize dependable news sources, in this way expanding the requirement for computational devices to give bits of knowledge into the unwavering quality of online substance. The broad spread of phony news contrarily affects people and society. Along these lines, counterfeit news identification via web-based media has as of late become arising research drawing in enormous consideration. Observing the possible damage caused by the rapid spread of fake news in various fields such as politics and finance, the use of language analysis to automatically identify fake news has attracted the attention of the research community.

This study explores the health-information-seeking practices of older adults. Conducted in Quebec, Canada, this qualitative research involved semi-structured interviews with 36 participants aged 60 and over, between 19 July and 20 August 2021, during the COVID-19 pandemic. The interviews, carried out via online platforms and telephone, focused on information sources, the method of information retrieval, and participants’ reflections on and use of pandemic-related information. Thematic content analysis was used to identify the presence of ageism. The study showed that participants favored government press conferences and traditional media, while remaining skeptical of social media. The analysis identified the concept of ageism (institutional, interpersonal, and self-directed) in about half of the interviews, with institutional ageism predominating in communications and actions of authorities and in the portrayal of older adults by media. The findings highlight the need for reliable, respectful communications reaching older adults for effective and relevant public health messages.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract We examine how individuals’ interactions with the shifting contemporary communication ecology—either by seeking information selectively from partisan sources or immersing themselves in a broad range of partisan communications — relate to shifting levels of social trust and online engagement. Using national panel surveys of young adults (i.e., millennials age 18–34) collected over the 2016 U.S. presidential election, we find that individuals’ partisan communication flows—calculated by algorithmically combining patterns of news consumption, social media use, and political talk—explain: (a) polarized shifts in levels of trust towards people of other nationalities, religions, races, and ethnicities and (b) increases in levels of online political engagement. By elaborating the relationship between citizens’ communication patterns and their levels of trust and participation, this research forces a reconsideration of theoretical traditions in the field of communication, especially those linking mass and interpersonal processes in the study of social capital.

Full textAbstract:
This study addresses the challenges of meeting the Chinese public’s information needs and effectively communicating risks during recurring large-scale public health crises. Drawing on a revised Risk Information Seeking and Processing (RISP) model, this study examines multichannel information-seeking behaviors. Data were collected via an online survey of 2,604 valid responses from diverse regions and genders across China. Seven hypotheses were tested using structural equation modeling. Results show that negative emotions significantly influence public responses to health crises. As perceived risk increases, negative emotions intensify while positive emotions decline. Negative emotions are linked to stronger feelings of information insufficiency, whereas positive emotions reduce such perceptions. Social expectations further heighten the sense of information inadequacy, prompting individuals to seek information through multiple channels, including interpersonal sources, traditional media, search engines, and social media. Emotions and social pressures play critical roles in shaping information-seeking behavior during public health crises, emphasizing the need for nuanced, multichannel communication strategies. This framework offers valuable insights for policymakers, health professionals, and crisis communicators aiming to design effective risk communication strategies tailored to diverse information needs and emotional responses.

Full textAbstract:
Vaccination continues to be one of the most debated topics worldwide, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic and in countries like Romania, where the COVID-19 vaccination rate is very low. Studies showed that in public pro-vaccination campaigns, despite the tendencies towards using evidence-based content strategies focusing on factual information delivered by experts, emotional content through personal stories also triggers a positive engagement in fostering vaccine confidence. In April 2021, the Romanian Government launched a new Facebook campaign entitled #storiesfromvaccination/ #povestidelavaccinare. Drawing from two concepts (point of view and multimodality) relevant to narrative online health messages, the study has a threefold aim: (1) to investigate the online engagement of the narrative perspectives in the #storiesfromvaccination campaign; (2) to provide a comparative analysis of the multimodal cohesion in the Facebook #storiesfromvaccination multimodal texts posted by various message sources; (3) to identify the various representations of agency and action in the interplay of the three metafunctions (experiential, interpersonal and textual) in the personal stories from vaccination.

Full textAbstract:
Promoting public engagement through social media has always been a core issue in risk communication studies. Based on the Social Amplification of Risk Framework (SARF), this study conducts an online survey in China (N = 908) and constructs a moderated mediation model. Using bootstrapped moderated mediation analysis, this study examines the relationships among social media exposure to pandemic information, risk perception, source credibility, and public engagement on social media at the early stages of the pandemic. The results demonstrate a positive relationship between social media exposure and public engagement, which can be mediated by risk perception. The relationship between social media exposure and public engagement via risk perception is moderated by source credibility. The higher perceived credibility of official and interpersonal sources undermines risk perception, but also hinders public engagement in the crisis. The moderating effect of professional source credibility is not significant. This study has expanded the SARF and has contributed to promoting risk communication strategies from the perspective of risk information processing.

Full textAbstract:
This article discusses public trust in the Indonesian government’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic, explicitly focusing on the discourse surrounding large-scale social restrictions (LSSR). In a time of uncertainty, the public requires timely and actual information, most of which is gathered through online media, with Twitter being one such medium. This article applies social network analysis to examine how information about the restrictions is shared and discussed on social media platforms and how this discourse may impact public trust in government institutions in the first phase of pandemic handling. Although LSSR is the government’s policy, this study shows that the interpersonal network plays a more significant part in distributing information, indicating a legitimacy crisis of formal and authoritative sources of information. The negative sentiment voiced by critics did not show public rejection of the implementation of LSSR. On the contrary, what was implied by those critics was public doubt against the consistency and firmness of LSSR implementation—because of this, restoring public trust requires planned information management to communicate risks to those who are affected by LSSR implementation, as well as managing negative sentiments that arise as a response.

Full textAbstract:
Fashionable clothes resource suppliers are directly linked with resource consumers through the Internet, thus replacing the traditional model. With fashionable clothes as the products for renting, this study helps relevant enterprises understand the factors influencing consumers’ adoption of renting and their attitude and behavioral intention towards clothes renting. Taking the theory of planned behavior as the theoretical foundation, this study thus adopts the technology acceptance model (TAM), the innovation diffusion theory (IDT), the structural equation model (SEM), and the collected information to develop a research methodology that is both theoretical and practical. According to the research results, compatibility matters the most in driving consumers to have a positive assessment and perception of online clothes renting in terms of behavior and attitude. Additionally, personal innovativeness has significant effects and can help relevant enterprises find their target markets. In terms of subjective norm, interpersonal relationship also has a significant influence, showing that consumers today pay much more attention to friends’ information sources. The self-efficacy of the perceived behavioral control also has a noticeable impact. Therefore, relevant enterprises need to consider the operability of online clothes renting to prevent consumers from feeling frustrated in their ability to use it, thus reducing their use intention.

Increasing psychological resistance to manipulative influence and preventing the involvement of minors in illegal activities with the help of information and communication technologies (ICTs) are important tasks of the State. The article analyzes some psychological mechanisms that contribute to manipulation on the Internet, including the effects of normative influence, conformity, perceived interpersonal similarity, cascades of available information, emotional contagion, hemophilicity, false memories, and multiple sources. The authors analyze the main strategies for promoting false and misleading information: artificial polarization, managing false accounts on behalf of public opinion leaders, creating emotional messages, using conspiracy theories, trolling aimed at provoking harassment of users on the network, defaming and delegitimizing opponents.
 Attention is also drawn to ways to counteract destructive information and psychological impact, which include not only ways to improve the legislative apparatus and the use of software and technical solutions, but also to increase the level of psychological stability of citizens, conducting preventive and preventive measures aimed at forming ideas about information threats, their types, methods of identification and protection, group norms and values. The author points out the need to develop and implement special psychological trainings and games created in the form of computer programs, mobile applications and online simulators in the socio-cultural and educational environment.

Full textAbstract:
The way in which people communicate has changed significantly in the past decade. For instance, instead of reading newspapers to find out the latest news many flock to Twitter&trade; to see what is trending for the day. Communication online via social media has changed the way people view many things. Therefore, with this understanding, it is notable to understand how social media is influencing the way people communicate: verbally and written. This paper dives more into finding more descriptive explanations of how it does so, such as whether they have changed the way they speak in person and online or the way they type their emails and texts. Using methods that involve secondary sources such as research journals and articles as well as conducting a survey questionnaire composed of participants from the United States and India is reflected in this paper. The research findings indicate that social media does influence the way people communicate because of how it allows people to gain more knowledge and information, it has become more accessible for others and it fuels conversion in terms of using emoticons. This research paper reflects the change that social media has brought forth to interpersonal communication.

Full textAbstract:
Background The health belief model explains that individual intentions and motivation of health behaviors are mostly subject to external cues to action, such as from interpersonal communications and media consumptions. The concept of mobilizing information (MI) refers to a type of mediated information that could call individuals to carry out particular health actions. Different media channels, especially digital media outlets, play an essential role as a health educator to disseminate cancer health information and persuade and mobilize cancer prevention in the community. However, little is known about calls to action (or MI) in online cancer news, especially from Asian media outlets. Objective This study aimed at analyzing cancer news articles that contain MI and their news components on the selected Malaysian English and Chinese newspapers with online versions. Methods The Star Online and Sin Chew Online were selected for analysis because the two newspaper websites enjoy the highest circulation and readership in the English language and the Chinese language streams, respectively. Two bilingual coders searched the cancer news articles based on sampling keywords and then read and coded each news article accordingly. Five coding variables were conceptualized from previous studies (ie, cancer type, news source, news focus, cancer risk factors, and MI), and a good consistency using Cohen kappa was built between coders. Descriptive analysis was used to examine the frequency and percentage of each coding item; chi-square test (confidence level at 95%) was applied to analyze the differences between two newspaper websites, and the associations between variables and the presence of MI were examined through binary logistic regression. Results Among 841 analyzed news articles, 69.6% (585/841) presented MI. News distributions were unbalanced throughout the year in both English and Chinese newspaper websites; some months occupied peaks (ie, February and October), but cancer issues and MI for cancer prevention received minimal attention in other months. The news articles from The Star Online and Sin Chew Online were significantly different in several news components, such as the MI present rates (χ2=9.25, P=.003), providing different types of MI (interactive MI: χ2=12.08, P=.001), interviewing different news sources (government agency: χ2=12.05, P=.001), concerning different news focus (primary cancer prevention: χ2=10.98, P=.001), and mentioning different cancer risks (lifestyle risks: χ2=7.43, P=.007). Binary logistic regression results reported that online cancer news articles were more likely to provide MI when interviewing nongovernmental organizations, focusing on topics related to primary cancer prevention, and highlighting lifestyle risks (odds ratio [OR] 2.77, 95% CI 1.89-4.05; OR 97.70, 95% CI 46.97-203.24; OR 186.28; 95% CI 44.83-773.96; P=.001, respectively). Conclusions This study provided new understandings regarding MI in cancer news coverage. This could wake and trigger individuals’ preexisting attitudes and intentions on cancer prevention. Thus, health professionals, health journalists, and health campaign designers should concentrate on MI when distributing health information to the community.

<span>This study examines the MOOD analysis of interpersonal meaning in articles in online newspapers about the covid-19 vaccine in Indonesia. The purpose of this study is to explain the formula of MOOD analysis realized in grammar and to describe the speakers' mood in the application of the MOOD analysis in Indonesia's covid-19 vaccine article from online newspaper. The main focus of this research is on descriptive text articles and MOOD structure. This type of research is descriptive qualitative, the author uses observation documentation as a technique to obtain and measure data. The data were obtained by applying the theory of Gerot and Wignell (1994). The researcher found 259 clauses from six texts which became data taken from various online news sources. In the formula, there are various types such as Subject + Finite (Tense), Subject + Finite (Do), Subject + Finite (Modal), Subject + Finite (Have) and Subject + Finite (To be). The most commonly found category is the use of Finite (Tense). In the mood of the speaker, it is found that the speaker expresses certainty, possibility, uncertainty, obligation and advice. What most of the speakers said was certainty. In the analysis also found several categories of modalities, which after that can be included in the degree of modality, namely high, medium, and low. Because the limitations of this study are in a declarative, all clauses are statements that function to convey information from the author to the reader.</span>

Objectives:Interpersonal influence and word-of-mouth communication represent the most important sources of information used in the purchase decision process. This form of communication has a special role and importance in tourism due to the intangible nature of products offered in this market. With the advancement in information technologies an increasing number of consumers - users of tourist services use the Internet to obtain information about a tourist destination and, at the same time, share their experiences with other consumers. In this way online interpersonal influence and electronic word-of-mouth communication are realized. The aim of this paper is to examine whether there are any significant differences in the electronic word-of-mouth effects and generation by consumers - users of tourist services in relation to their socio-demographic characteristics (gender, age, and education). Methodology: The sample included 228 respondents from the province of Vojvodina. The method of cross-tabulation was applied in order to test the hypotheses. Implications/results: Survey results provide tourism marketers with a more detailed insight into the behavior of users of tourist services with respect to their socio-demographic characteristics. Contribution: This paper contributes to further theoretical elaboration of the current phenomenon of electronic word-ofmouth in terms of explaining it through the prism of causes and effects.

Full textAbstract:
Medical education is highly demanding, with students facing intense academic, emotional, and professional challenges. First-year students face the pressures of adjusting to a rigorous curriculum and new social environments, while final-year students experience heightened stress related to career uncertainty and impending clinical responsibilities. Understanding the sources of stress and coping strategies at different stages of training is crucial for developing targeted interventions that promote student well-being and academic success. Hence, this study aimed to assess the differences in perceived stress sources and coping strategies among first and final-year undergraduate medical students using an online survey. Sociodemographic information was collected, and stress levels were measured using the Perceived Stress Scale, while sources of stress were identified with the Medical Student Stressor Questionnaire. Coping strategies were evaluated using the Brief-COPE. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS, with Chi-square tests to compare groups. A total of 264 medical students (132 first-year, 132 final-year) participated in the study. First-year students reported higher levels of stress, with 84.8% experiencing moderate stress, while final-year students showed more balanced stress distribution. Academic, interpersonal, and teaching-related stressors were most significant. First-year students predominantly used problem-focused coping, whereas final-year students employed more emotion-focused and avoidant coping strategies, with significant differences observed between the cohorts. Our results highlight the evolving stress experiences and coping strategies across the medical curriculum, underscoring the need for targeted mental health support that promote student well-being.

Introduction. Nowadays medical online services are evolving rapidly and become more and more popular. Telemedicine is developed as a part of the Russian government program “The medical system 4P”. However, doctor-patient online communication has rarely been the subject of research in modern sociology. Nevertheless, online-services are valuable resource for researchers to study and analyze information that is difficult to obtain in other ways.Methodology and sources. The paper is devoted to the research of doctor-patient discursive practices on the internet medical advice forums by the example of “Health.mail.ru”. The general method of research is critical discourse analysis, based on the theory and methodology of N. Fairclough, which gives an opportunity to make suggestions about social practices using text analysis and discursive practices analysis. A non-reactive strategy was used in the empirical research. During the research 28 800 messages, which include 14 400 messages from patients and 14 400 messages from doctors, were analyzed. Data analysis was performed in the “R” program.Results and discussion. As a result, some assumptions about social practices and discursive practices on the online forum were formulated. The main patient’s goal on online forums is avoiding face-to-face interaction with doctors in a hospital. One of doctor’s goals is promoting their services. Interaction is carried out in a form of request from the patient and expert assessment from the doctor in response. Usually, patients send their messages anonymously. Doctors, by contrast, emphasize their identity. It helps them to maintain their image and to legitimate their expertise. Doctor’s and patient’s discourses are using special medical terminology, and they are not interpreting it. It demands from the patients being experts.Conclusion. Online communication is a new type of doctor-patient communication, which is more democratic, more complementary and more impersonal than face-to-face communication. Usually doctor-patient online communication on the internet medical advice forums does not involve thorough analysis of individual patient’s situation and maintaining sustainable interpersonal relationships.

Abstract: The upsurge in the use of cyberspace in recent years has led to pathological use for some individuals especially in the area of cyber relational addiction. This study aimed to investigate the influence of cyber relational addiction on interpersonal relationships and how variables of age, religion, levels of study, and gender of respondents moderate the influence of cyber relational addiction on their interpersonal relationships. This study employed a descriptive survey research design and administered a self-designed questionnaire on 420 randomly selected undergraduates from seven faculties at the University of Ilorin. A research question was answered in this study, while the hypotheses were also tested at 0.05 levels of significance. The varying collected data were analyzed using t-test and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) statistical methods. Undergraduate students’ sources of information were mostly from the Internet than interacting with people, and they believed gaining more academically online than interacting with people. Meanwhile, the results were not varied based on the respondents’ age, levels of study, religion, and gender. It is necessary to develop a sound and wide range of activities that will reduce cyber relation addiction, which in turn promote psychological wellbeing among undergraduates. Interpersonal relationship skills training should be conducted for cyber-addicted adolescents to observe its impacts on cyber relational addiction. Abstrak: Meningkatnya penggunaan ruang siber dalam beberapa tahun terakhir mengakibatkan tingginya penggunaan patologis ruang siber, terutama pada area kecanduan untuk berinteraksi melalui ruang siber. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menyelidiki dampak dari kecanduan untuk berhubungan melalui ruang siber terhadap hubungan interpersonal, serta bagaimana variable usia, agama, tingkat pendidikan, dan jenis kelamin memoderasi hubungan kecanduan ruang siber dan hubungan interpersonal. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain survei deskriptif dan kuesioner yang dirancang sendiri lalu disebarkan kepada 420 mahasiswa sarjana dari tujuh fakultas dari University of Ilorin, secara acak. Penelitian ini berfokus untuk menjawab sebuah rumusan masalah yang telah diuji pada 0.05 tingkat signifikansi. Data-data yang telah terkumpul diuji menggunakan beberapa uji statistik berupa Uji t dan Analisis of Variance (ANOVA). Hasil dari analisis data menunjukkan bahwa kebanyakan mahasiswa mencari informasi melalui interaksi pada ruang siber. Sedangkan hasil dari analisis pada variabel usia, tingkat pendidikan, agama, dan jenis kelamin menunjukkan hasil yang sama. Sehingga kita perlu mengembangkan berbagai kegiatan untuk mengurangi kecanduan berinteraksi menggunakan ruang siber, yang nantinya akan meningkatkan kondisi psikologis para mahasiswa. Selain itu, pelatihan keterampilan yang berhubungan dengan hubungan interpersonal harus juga diselenggarakan untuk mengetahui dampaknya pada para remaja dengan kecanduan untuk berinteraksi di ruang siber.

Full textAbstract:
While viewing the web series, the audience is immersed in a narrative that transcends the boundaries of space and time, offering insights into life and potentially impacting the viewers. Viewers of a web series are able to grasp a message conveyed by the series, similar to the moral message found in a web series. An online series called "Nurut What Said Mama" has been broadcast on Central Bank Asia's Solutions. Based on my previous statement, Mommy hosts a television program that pertains to the experiences and situations of ordinary life. Although presented in a comedic format, the web series is replete with profound significance and educational content. Given the information provided, the researchers chose to undertake a study titled "Analysis of Moral Messages in the Web Series Nurut Apa Kata Mama on the Central Bank Asia Solution Youtube Channel”. The study employed qualitative research methodology, namely content analysis, to provide a comprehensive understanding of the social context shown in the series "Nurut Apa Kata Mama". The approach adopted was descriptive, aiming to present a broader overview of the social environment rather than focusing on specific messages or texts. Researchers employ observational techniques, conduct library research, and analyze documentation to collect data. Triangulation of sources in credibility assessment refers to the process of corroborating evidence from multiple sources at various points in time. The research was examined utilizing Miles and Huberman's interaction model for analyzing data gathering, data reduction, and conclusion and verification. The research findings revealed that certain moments from the "Nurut Apa Kata Mama" web series, which conveyed a moral message regarding the ethical aspects of human relationships with God, suggested a lack of emphasis by the communicator on the acceptance of faith or godliness. The moral self-regard of individuals is not adequately emphasized, and the moral theme in the series is more likely to be conveyed through the interpersonal interactions among the characters. Morality in human connections pertains to the communicator prioritizing interpersonal messages that involve interactions between individuals.

Full textAbstract:
This study aims to critically identify and analyze the role of Christian education in shaping and sustaining the spiritual discipline of Christian youth in the digital age. Amid the rapid development of technology, today’s adolescents live in an environment filled with instant access to information and virtual interactions, which may reshape their understanding and practice of faith. This research employs a qualitative method with a literature study approach, analyzing various academic sources and relevant studies. The findings indicate that digital technology, when managed wisely, can serve as an effective tool for faith education—through social media, spiritual apps, and interactive online learning. However, excessive reliance on technology without proper guidance may result in a weakened connection to faith communities and diminished depth in personal spirituality. Therefore, Christian education is challenged to design a balanced approach between the use of digital media and the strengthening of interpersonal relationships within the church community. The novelty of this research lies in its formulation of a digitally based pedagogical strategy that preserves the core of Christian spirituality, offering a relevant response to the spiritual formation needs of youth in an ever-evolving digital culture.

Full textAbstract:
Theories of social interaction (i.e., common coding theory) suggest that visual information about the interaction partner is critical for successful interpersonal action coordination. Seeing the interaction partner allows an observer to understand and predict the interaction partner's behavior. However, it is unknown which of the many sources of visual information about an interaction partner (e.g., body, end effectors, and/or interaction objects) are used for action understanding and thus for the control of movements in response to observed actions. We used a novel immersive virtual environment to investigate this further. Specifically, we asked participants to perform table tennis strokes in response to table tennis balls stroked by a virtual table tennis player. We tested the effect of the visibility of the ball, the paddle, and the body of the virtual player on task performance and movement kinematics. Task performance was measured as the minimum distance between the center of the paddle and the center of the ball (radial error). Movement kinematics was measured as variability in the paddle speed of repeatedly executed table tennis strokes (stroke speed variability). We found that radial error was reduced when the ball was visible compared to invisible. However, seeing the body and/or the racket of the virtual players only reduced radial error when the ball was invisible. There was no influence of seeing the ball on stroke speed variability. However, we found that stroke speed variability was reduced when either the body or the paddle of the virtual player was visible. Importantly, the differences in stroke speed variability were largest in the moment when the virtual player hit the ball. This suggests that seeing the virtual player's body or paddle was important for preparing the stroke response. These results demonstrate for the first time that the online control of arm movements is coupled with visual body information about an opponent.

Theoretical basis Organizational Justice Theory serves as a useful frame for discussion of this case, focusing on perceptions of fairness in the workplace. Such perceptions are shaped by outcomes, procedures, information and interpersonal treatment. Perceptions of justice in these four dimensions are associated with job performance, citizenship behaviors and some mental health outcomes. The Exit, Voice, Loyalty, Neglect (EVLN) Model outlines four potential responses (exit, voice, loyalty and neglect) to perceived job dissatisfaction, serving as a useful framework for students to discuss potential employee reactions to Starbucks’ decisions. Research methodology This case was developed from secondary sources, including news reports, company annual reports and websites. The case has been classroom tested with undergraduate students in Principles of Management (online and face-to-face) Human Resource Management (online asynchronous) and Labor/Management Relations (online synchronous). Case overview/synopsis In June 2020, Starbucks became immersed in controversy when its dress code policy conflicted with its public support for national protests over police brutality against Black Americans, including the death of George Floyd while in police custody. While publicly supporting the protests in a series of tweets, an internal memo forbidding employees from wearing Black Lives Matter attire was leaked to the press, generating national outcry, threats of a boycott and forcing Starbucks to reverse course immediately. This case examines the benefits and challenges of a corporate dress/uniform policy, and the implications of corporate involvement in social justice issues. Complexity academic level This case can be used in a wide range of undergraduate and graduate courses, but particularly in Principles of Management and Human Resources courses.

ObjectiveTo explore how Brazilian-born immigrant mothers living in the USA obtain information about physical activity (PA) and screen time (ST) behaviours for their preschool-aged children.Research designFocus group discussions (FGDs) were used to gain an in-depth understanding of research topics. All FGDs were audio-recorded and professionally transcribed verbatim. The Portuguese transcripts were analysed using thematic analysis, an iterative process of coding the data in phases to create meaningful patterns.ParticipantsThirty-seven Brazilian-born immigrant mothers of preschool-age children.SettingThis study was conducted in two cities in Massachusetts (MA). Participants were recruited from two predominantly Brazilian churches, local Brazilian businesses and community-based social and health services organisations in the Greater Boston area in MA.ResultsAnalyses revealed that the mothers participating in this study did not initially actively seek out information about PA and ST for their preschool-age children, but that they received unsolicited information about these behaviours from multiple sources including their child’s paediatrician, Women, Infant and Children (WIC) programme staff, members of their social network of Brazilian friends and the Brazilian media. Mothers reported that this unsolicited information increased their knowledge about the importance of making sure their children were physically active and not participating in excessive ST. This increased awareness led mothers to actively seek information about PA and ST behaviours via the internet and through interpersonal communication with fellow Brazilian friends and family.ConclusionsGiven the value Brazilian immigrant mothers placed on the advice of their paediatricians and WIC staff, interventions should consider involving these healthcare professionals, possibly through including endorsement (eg, prescription for PA and maximum ST). More research is needed to ensure Brazilian immigrant mothers’ health and media literacy including their ability to navigate the online environment and to discern the accuracy and quality of information from various web sites.
