    Area of Science:

    • Health Promotion
    • Behavioral Science
    • Digital Health

    Background:

    • A 2005 health promotion campaign in Québec, the "Défi Santé 5/30" (5/30 Health Challenge), aimed to reinforce healthy eating and physical activity behaviors.
    • The campaign employed a multimedia communications strategy, notably a website, to provide information and support individual engagement.
    • This initiative allowed participants to set personal objectives for a 12-week health challenge.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the media use and impact of the "Défi Santé 5/30" campaign.
    • To explore the underlying factors contributing to behavioral changes during the campaign, with a specific focus on the website's role.
    • To identify characteristics that foster user motivation and engagement, as well as barriers to participation.

    Main Methods:

    • A telephone survey of 609 individuals exposed to the campaign.
    • Discussion groups with 102 individuals who participated in the campaign.
    • Discussion groups with 32 health professionals involved in the campaign.

    Main Results:

    • The website's characteristics, including objectives, content, architecture, and usage techniques, were key to user motivation and adherence.
    • Media convergence, partner contributions, and a multi-faceted accompaniment approach (virtual, media-based, interpersonal, professional) were significant.
    • Barriers such as technical/socio-cultural accessibility and ethical constraints for health professionals were identified.

    Conclusions:

    • The "Défi Santé 5/30" campaign demonstrated that a website can effectively contribute to behavioral change.
    • A comprehensive accompaniment strategy integrating virtual, media-based, interpersonal, and professional support is crucial for success.
    • Addressing accessibility and ethical considerations is important for optimizing the impact of digital health interventions.
