Health-Related Lifestyle Communication in Oncology
A healthy lifestyle, particularly having a balanced diet, regular physical activity, and abstaining from alcohol and smoking, is important for the recovery process of cancer survivors. The extent and form in which lifestyle information is provided by healthcare providers varies substantially, which could leave many patients with unmet information needs. To better understand current practices and areas for improvement in communicating about these …
Efficacy of an instant messaging-based life-skills training program to prevent behavioral risk factors among adolescents in Europe
One of the most significant risk factors for cancer and several other adverse health outcomes is nicotine and tobacco use. Life-skills training programs conducted within the school curriculum are effective in preventing substance use, including nicotine and tobacco use, however, large-scale implementation is hindered by time, organizational and financial constraints. Providing life-skills training programs via smartphones may be a more economical…
Perceived benefits of diet, physical activity, alcohol intake and smoking among cancer survivors
A healthy lifestyle can have various health benefits for cancer survivors, including positive effects for their general health and cancer-specific outcomes. In general, cancer survivors adhere more to smoking and alcohol recommendations, compared to diet and physical activity recommendations. To better understand the differences in benefit perceptions among the four health behaviours, we conducted a cross-sectional study among 197 Dutch survivors…
“Meating halfway”
Empirical studies have persistently reported negative attitudes of meat eaters toward vegetarians and vegans (veg*ns), but scant attention has been paid to veg*ns’ attitudes toward meat eaters. We aimed to investigate the attitudes of meat eaters and veg*ns from both perspectives. In addition, we explored the attitudes of occasional meat eaters. We performed a cross-sectional study (Study 1) among meat eaters, veg*ns, and occasional meat eaters, …
The impact of labour market shocks on mental health
In this study, we estimate the effect of a negative labour market shock on individuals' levels of stress, anxiety, and depression. We use a dataset collected during the first wave of the Covid-19 pandemic, on a representative sample of citizens from Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom, interviewed on three occasions. We measure stress, anxiety and depression and labour shocks using validated scales. Our research design is a standard difference-i…
Less is more
Food labels have been used extensively for informing consumers to make more rational and safer decisions. However, this carries the risk of confusing consumers with multiple claims which may distract from key information such as the country of origin of the product. To inform the European legislation, we have tested labels on fish and aquaculture products in three separate experiments, across several European Member States. The main results showe…
Preferences in the Intention to Download a Covid Tracing App
Introduction High levels of adoption and usage for the COVID Tracing Apps (CTA) among the population is a stipulated prerequisite for success of the implementation of these apps, aiming to mitigate the pandemic and track spreading of the virus more efficient and effectively. In the current study, the main objective was to investigate individuals' preferences in the intention to download a COVID-19 tracing app in a pilot-study in both the Netherla…
Can Product Information Steer towards Sustainable and Healthy Food Choices? A Pilot Study in an Online Supermarket
Sustainable dietary choices have become increasingly important because of the current environmental threats the world is facing. Nonetheless, consumers find it difficult to assess a product's sustainability and therefore make better choices. This pilot study tested whether explanatory product information about sustainability increased sustainable purchases in an online supermarket and whether additional health information increased message effect…
Unfair commercial practices in a pit market
Commercial practices such as drip pricing, reference pricing and best-price guarantee can be used to set higher prices and mislead consumers, but protective measures can restore efficiency. In a placebo-controlled market experiment, we examined a treatment allowing for the use and misuse of commercial practices. Three additional treatments tested the effects of formal sanctions, informal sanctions and a regret nudge. We found that commercial prac…

Restarting 'Normal' Life after Covid-19 and the Lockdown
In this article, we examine the expectations of the economic outlook, fear of the future, and behavioural change during the first Covid-19 wave, for three European countries (Spain, the United Kingdom, and Italy) that have been severely hit. We use a novel dataset that we collected to monitor the three countries during the crisis. As outcome variables, we used expectations (e.g., economic outlook, labour market situation, recovery), fear (e.g., s…
The Effect of Packaging Color and Health Claims on Product Attitude and Buying Intention
Packaging design is an important factor when consumers look out for healthy food. The study tested for effects of packaging color and health claims of a fictional fruit yoghurt package on attitude towards the product and subsequently, consumer's buying intention, using a 2 × 2 between-subjects experimental design. We also tested whether interest in healthy food is a moderating factor. We found no evidence to support that visual cues (color) and t…
The Effect of the Promotion of Vegetables by a Social Influencer on Adolescents’ Subsequent Vegetable Intake
Marketers have found new ways of reaching adolescents on social platforms. Previous studies have shown that advertising effectively increases the intake of unhealthy foods while not so much is known about the promotion of healthier foods. Therefore, the main aim of the present experimental pilot study was to examine if promoting red peppers by a popular social influencer on social media (Instagram) increased subsequent actual vegetable intake amo…
Taste and Health Information on Fast Food Menus to Encourage Young Adults to Choose Healthy Food Products
Currently, a great number of people have an unhealthy dietary intake, leading to chronic diseases. Despite the high prevalence of obesity and people being overweight, only a few strategies to promote healthier food products have been proven effective. Therefore, the objective of this study was to test the effect of the presence of health information and its integration into a fast food menu context on young adults' healthy food choices. An experi…

The impact of online platform transparency of information on consumers’ choices
Millions of Europeans use online platforms with almost blind trust that the platforms operate in the interests of the consumer. However, the presentation of search results, transparency about contractual parties and the publication of user reviews that contribute to the value of online platforms in Europe's Single Digital Market also pose significant risks regarding consumer protection and market competition. The current study investigates how en…

The persuasive effect of advergames promoting unhealthy foods among children
Multiple studies have examined the effects of advergames promoting unhealthy foods on eating behavior among children. Although the individual results of the existing studies suggest that advergames have a significant influence on (predictors of) eating behavior, a lack of clarity concerning the size of the effect may impede policy actions. Therefore, a meta-analysis was conducted to examine the strength of the effect of playing advergames that pr…
Maximizing Opportunities and Minimizing Risks for Children Online
As Internet use becomes widespread at home, parents are trying to maximize their children's online opportunities while also minimizing online risks. We surveyed parents of 6- to 14-year-olds in 8 European countries (N = 6,400). A factor analysis revealed 2 parental mediation strategies. Enabling mediation is associated with increased online opportunities but also risks. This strategy incorporates safety efforts, responds to child agency, and is e…
