title = "Examining the Social Dynamics on Health Behavior Promotion in Online Peer Discussions about Breast Cancer Screening: Understanding Peer Discussion for Breast Cancer Screening Promotion Using the Health Action Process Approach",
abstract = "Given the importance of bridging the gap between intention and action in health behavior promotion, this study employs the Health Action Process Approach (HAPA) to examine how social dynamics within online peer discussions influence intention and action related to breast cancer screening. Using data from breast cancer-related online communities, we examined shifts in intention and action as well as in the orientation of psychological processes within each phase of change facilitated by comments using HAPA as our framework. Our findings demonstrate the significance of positive self-efficacy in influencing these shifts, highlighting the importance of designing online social experiences that promote sharing narratives on successfully managing barriers in breast cancer screening.",
