Had an inspiring month as a visiting researcher at the University of Vienna! Grateful to Dr. Kathrin Karsay for launching an exciting project on health messages and alcohol reduction. Thrilled to continue this work and dive deeper into the final phase of my PhD! #HealthCommunication #HealthPromotion

When you weren't expecting to have your pro photo taken, so you're trying to look serious, but you are also wearing a sweater with a little farm and roaming sheep๐Ÿ‘.
Jokes aside, I'm in Vienna for a research visit with Dr. Kathrin Karsay, to dive into a cool vaping study. #HealthCom #mentalwellbeing

Key findings:
๐Ÿง  Some negative appeals can harm mental well-being, while positive ones show promise but need more study.
๐Ÿง  Higher depressive symptoms can alter message processing, amplifying negative effects.
๐Ÿง  Health messages rarely consider their impact on mental well-being & this must change! 2/2

Hi! Iโ€™m a PhD candidate studying the impact of health messages (e.g., COVID-19) on mental well-being, particularly in populations with depressive symptoms. I also investigate coping mechanisms (on social media) and adherence to uncover strategies for effective, balanced public health communication.๐Ÿง˜โ€โ™€๏ธ
