        <p class="MsoNormal"><i><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">National and international organisations have
              been using mass media campaigns to get people to live
              healthier lives for many years now. The effects of these
              campaigns are varied. Why some strategies work in some
              situations and others do not is a question that is far
              from completely clear. One of the factors that seems to
              play an important role in the persuasiveness of a mass
              media health message is the receivers’ willingness to talk
              about the message afterwards. That leads to the question:
              how can we design messages that people find interesting to
              discuss? Should a message be as clear as possible or does
              it help if it includes a little puzzle the receiver may
              attempt to solve? Should we try to scare people into
              living a healthier life, or is it better to opt for a more
              neutral approach? Is it helpful if we tell people a
              compelling story with characters they can identify with if
              we want to change their health behaviour?</span></i></p>
