When, and why, do health care professionals refer patients to lifestyle interventions?

This week, I presented work that helps answering this question at @ehps2025.bsky.social in Groningen, NL #ehps2025

@ehps2025.bsky.social such an enjoyable, informative conference. Thanks for having us!

Just back from an amazing EHPS conference in Groningen, Netherlands.
I presented my latest systematic review on effective ways to communicate genetic risk in obesity prevention and left with lots of new ideas!

#EHPS conference is more than an event—it's where the future of Health Psychology takes shape. Ideas shared here will guide tomorrow’s innovations.

We're excited to share an exclusive interview with Prof. David French, #EHPS President, at #EHPS2025

The energy in the rooms was a reminder that great things happen when inspired people come together. Special thanks to our sponsors! #EHPS2025

We’re wrapping up with a roundtable discussion on Realising Open Infrastructures with @emmajnorris.bsky.social, @ajamesgreen.bsky.social, @mayabraun.bsky.social. Some key takeaways 👇

At EHPS 2025, we believe our mission goes beyond sharing research—it extends to the choices we make together. That’s why our lunches and dinners include a dedicated vegetarian option, supporting both individual wellbeing and sustainable lifestyles.

What a night! The EHPS Band had everyone on their feet and brought incredible energy to the room. From classic grooves to surprise jams, it was the perfect way to celebrate our community after a full day of sessions. 🎶

The centre of Groningen with cycle parking lining the streets as far as the eye can see. There are street trees in the central reservation and the mostly terraced brick buildings are 3-4 storeys tall

I've arrived in Groningen (Netherlands) for the European Health Psychology Society conference and I am fan-girling so much at the transport infrastructure.

Health psychology in action here!

Build it and they will bike.

A fabulous first day co-facilitating this year’s EHPS CREATE workshop, with the focus this year being on preregistration and registered reports. Lovely to meet so many enthusiastic early career researchers! @ehpscreaters.bsky.social @emmajnorris.bsky.social @ehps2025.bsky.social #EHPS2025

A photo of the conference program. One afternoon parallel session is about ebikes. Another is about sustainable diets, including legumes.

The #EHPS2025 conference schedule is making me choose between ebikes and legumes. This is cruel!

@ehps2025.bsky.social

Summary slide on the 4 talks (described in the posts)

Really enjoying the ebike session at #EHPS2025

Key lessons
- Ebike users are even more pro active transport than regular bike users
- You can reach moderate/vigorous physical activity (MVPA) on an ebike. @annabarrero.bsky.social
