Abstract

Inappropriate nutritional decisions and decisions that may impact on health in later life are of particular public-policy importance where young consumers are concerned, given global increases in obesity and the potential for future increases in ill health which will both place a burden on public-health spending and also lead to lower life expectancy (Malik et al., 2013). Several assumptions underpin current health and nutrition communication policies. The first is that information provision will lead to better patient outcomes (Ricciardi et al., 2013). However, the ability to access online health information does not guarantee successful retrieval of information nor its correct interpretation or application (Agree et al., 2015). Further, while information is necessary, mere information provision alone is insufficient to change attitudes and behaviours (Marteau et al., 2008).
