BackgroundThere is increasing interest in Pinterest as a method of disseminating health information. However, it is unclear whether the health information promoted on Pinterest is evidence-based or incorporates behavior change theory.ObjectivesThe objective of the study was to determine the presence of health behavior theory (HBT) constructs in pins found on Pinterest and assess the relationship between various pin characteristics and the likelihood of inclusion of HBT.MethodsA content analysis was conducted on pins collected from Pinterest identified with the search terms “nutrition infographic” and “healthy eating infographic.” The coding rubric included HBT constructs, pin characteristics, and visual communication tools. Each HBT construct was coded as present or not present (yes=1, no=0). A total theory score was calculated by summing the values for each of the 9 constructs (range 0-9). Adjusted regression analysis was used to identify factors associated with the inclusion of health behavior change theory in pins (P<.05).ResultsThe mean total theory score was 2.03 (SD 1.2). Perceived benefits were present most often (170/236, 72%), followed by behavioral capability (123/238, 51.7%) and perceived severity (79/236, 33.5%). The construct that appeared the least was self-regulation/self-control (2/237, 0.8%). Pin characteristics associated with the inclusion of HBT included a large amount of text (P=.01), photographs of real people (P=.001), cartoon pictures of food (P=.01), and the presence of references (P=.001). The number of repins (P=.04), likes (P=.01), and comments (P=.01) were positively associated with the inclusion of HBT.ConclusionsThese findings suggest that current Pinterest infographics targeting healthy eating contain few HBT elements. Health professionals and organizations should create and disseminate infographics that contain more elements of HBT to better influence healthy eating behavior. This may be accomplished by creating pins that use both text and images of people and food in order to portray elements of HBT and convey nutritional information.

“…Finally, an abstract of a different stripe, written by Turck and colleagues, examines the use of infographics, which they define as “any graphically‐rendered combination of text, pictures, and data visualizations in a manner that tells a complete story,” as a means of quickly communicating the essential information from, say, a major clinical trial. The effective design of instructional materials and communication tools in the CEHP context is important and needs more attention.…”

the researchers and discussants at the meeting in Orlando. JCEHP's editors determined which abstracts would appear in the supplement, selected the abstracts whose authors would be invited to submit full manuscripts, implemented a second round of peer review for manuscripts, worked with authors to revise and enhance their submission to meet JCEHP's standards and style, and made the final decision on which abstracts and manuscripts would be published.As TABLE 1 shows, 17 abstracts were submitted for the meeting and were peer reviewed. Of these, 14 were recommended for acceptance in the research track. For the supplement, authors were invited to submit either abstracts (n = 7) or full manuscripts (n = 7). Five of 6 manuscripts received were accepted following peer review. Seven abstracts were ultimately accepted for publication.This supplement does not simply re-present the 250-word abstracts that were accepted for the meeting. Instead, the reader will find longer versions (approximately 750 words for abstracts, 3000 words for articles), and these have benefited from the feedback the authors received from the audience following their presentations at the meeting, the additional round of peer review for articles, and close editing by JCEHP's staff. As noted on title pages, some contributions to this issue appear under different titles, and two appear in categories other than original research.The results of an analysis of the institutional affiliations of authors whose work appears in this issue are shown in TABLE 2. Of 35 authors, 18 were affiliated with universities, 7 with nonacademic accredited continuing medical education (CME) providers, 7 with for-profit consulting and service providers, 2 with the national boards, and 1 with government. Few had previously published in JCEHP.The articles and abstracts in this issue cover a broad range of research topics and include works that encompass theory building, program evaluation, economic impact, evaluation methodology, and strategic use of the research in CEHP.Williams and colleagues 2 report on a study examining the relationship of motivation and self-efficacy in relation to JOURNAL OF CONTINUING EDUCATION IN THE HEALTH PROFESSIONS, 34(S1):S1-S3, 2014 Olson
