Die Studie legt nahe, dass Podcasts ein wirksames Medium für Gesundheitsinformationen und Interventionen zur Verhaltensänderung sein könnten

>Reviewing results from 38 studies, researchers found that people’s engagement with health-related podcasts was generally high, suggesting that podcasts could be an effective medium for health information and behaviour change interventions.

>The study found that the most common motivations for listening to a health podcast was to gain information, better understand mental health issues, and to seek entertainment.
>
>UniSA researcher Dr Ben Singh says the high engagement with health podcasts presents an advantage over other health interventions for sharing important public health messages.

>”Our study is the first to review the evidence about health podcasts for the general population,” Dr Singh says.
>
>“From this study, we know that podcasts are highly valued for their authenticity and reliability, as well as their impactful, experience-focussed, and narrative-driven content.
>
>“They’re also valued for their ability to be consumed at the user’s pace and in a setting that suits them – whether that’s while relaxing at home or walking the dog – and this aligns with increasing consumer demand for health resources that are both informative and adaptable to individual lifestyles.
