Had an inspiring month as a visiting researcher at the University of Vienna! Grateful to Dr. Kathrin Karsay for launching an exciting project on health messages and alcohol reduction. Thrilled to continue this work and dive deeper into the final phase of my PhD! #HealthCommunication #HealthPromotion
Thanks a lot for the warm welcome! :)
Hahah! I guess the impostor syndrome follows me even in my alter egos :p
Hey you, good to see you here! Adding you now! :)
Just added you! Nice to bump into you again! :)
When you weren't expecting to have your pro photo taken, so you're trying to look serious, but you are also wearing a sweater with a little farm and roaming sheep🐑.
Jokes aside, I'm in Vienna for a research visit with Dr. Kathrin Karsay, to dive into a cool vaping study. #HealthCom #mentalwellbeing

Key findings:
🧠 Some negative appeals can harm mental well-being, while positive ones show promise but need more study.
🧠 Higher depressive symptoms can alter message processing, amplifying negative effects.
🧠 Health messages rarely consider their impact on mental well-being & this must change! 2/2
🚨My first publication AND my first post on Bluesky!🚨🎉

Hi! I’m a PhD candidate studying the impact of health messages (e.g., COVID-19) on mental well-being, particularly in populations with depressive symptoms. I also investigate coping mechanisms (on social media) and adherence to uncover strategies for effective, balanced public health communication.🧘♀️
