How do young people respond to internet health messages?
Dr. Chris Richardson
In a guest blog post for the Centre of Excellence in Cancer Prevention, Dr. Chris Richardson describes how online health messages can be more effective. His recent work shows that tailored, gender-specific messages increase online engagement with breast cancer prevention information.
Dr. Richardson is an Associate Professor at SPPH, and his research focuses on biopsychosocial development in adolescence and their relationships with patterns of tobacco, alcohol, and other drug use.
