DESCRIPTION

Discuss the findings of a study that utilized BIG data, economic theory and a social media intervention aimed to improve nutritional behavior of college students. Millions of data points were collected to provide insight into daily food choice through a centralized Point-of-Sale system (32-weeks of daily meals purchased for over 3,700 emerging adults). This data then informed a 12-week intervention measuring the efficacy of FB, Instagram, SnapChat, and Slingshot to influence eating behaviors.

BIG Data Who & What

3,700 students purchase data for 32-weeks. Millions of data points collected. Millions of dollars spent.

WhereEvery on-campus point of sale for prepared food

WhenFall 2014 – Spring 2015

WhySet a baseline for current nutritional purchase (via

caloric intake, USDA food grouping, etc.)

Nutritional Data match All menu items will be matched

nutritionally to the student USDACaloric intake

Recruitment of Participants

450 students recruited Fall 2014 Pre-data collected (BMI, weight,

questionnaire = $25 incentive) Post-data (BMI, weight,

questionnaire = $25 incentive)

Page 14: Sxswedu slidedeck

Recruitment of Participants

75 assigned to each group 75% engagement = $50 incentive

Engagement = follow and engage with assigned medium

Experimental Design & Group Assignment

Page 16: Sxswedu slidedeck

12-week intervention 2 nutrition messages delivered per week

(specific to campus dining locations) To receive a $50 incentive participants must

respond to 75% of the messages:Instagram group must likeSnapChat group must view Slingshot group must SnapBack their most recent

mealFacebook group must likeFace-to-face group must attend in personControl group – no enrollment or action

Example

Available from 12-2: $4.99 at the Union

Social media purposefully chosen for this study for graduated levels

of engagementFacebook = Baseline (many nutrition educators and dining facilities use it)Instagram = passive (only have to “like”)SnapChat = moderate engagement (must watch before it dissappears FOREVER)SlingBox = high engagement (must sling-back photo so see our message)Face-to-face = traditional education mediumControl = gotta have it for strong research design ;-)
