Facilitating and encouraging healthy behaviours is important to prevent illness and promote health. This systematic review investigates whether the use of social media can have an impact on healthy behavours. We included seven studies. We found many different interventions and most of the comparisons and outcomes were measured only by one small study.1. Studies comparing an online social network to no information or information delivered via other channels showed no or only small effects for change in knowledge, attitudes, subjective norms, perceived control, intentions and behaviour.2. Several studies combined an online social network (OSN) with other interventions. Outcome measures were change in knowledge, attitudes, behaviour, eating habits, weight, energy and fat intake, self efficacy and sharing in social media. One of the studies found small effects in favour of OSN in combination with other interventions for change in knowledge, attitudes and behaviour related to food safety. None of the other comparisons showed significant differences.3. One study which compared watching motivational videos to not watching such videos found small to no effects for the outcome measures self efficacy and physical activity.4. We found no studies which compared the use of social media to the use of traditional media such as newspapers, radio or television.5. We found no relevant studies about tobacco or alcohol. Because of small studies and weaknesses in how they were performed, we have low to very low confidence in these results. We cannot draw any clear conclusions about whether or not the use of social media in health promotion campaigns have an effect on healthy behaviours. The fact that we are very unsure about the potential effect does not mean that there is no effect; it means that we are unsure about whether or not there is an effect.

«Healthy living centres» (frisklivssentraler) are established in Norway to support change of behaviour that affects health. This systematic review will answer questions about effects of organized follow-up to promote change of physical activity and diet. We searched for studies of interventions with a duration of more than three months that resemble those given in healthy living centres. We included 38 studies based on a literature search completed in March 2013. We conclude, based on our review and assessment of the quality of the documentation: There is great uncertainty regarding if, and to what degree these interventions contribute to increased physical activity or improved diet. This is because the results vary from no effect to large effect, and because of considerably varying quality of the documentation. There is no documentation that indicates that interventions of more than a year give better results than interventions with a duration up to a year, but direct comparisons are lacking. We have minimal information on cost-effectiveness or adverse events. This field of research is characterized by considerable methodological challenges, most notably lack of standardization of outcomes and measurement methods for physical activity and diet, and lack of long-term follow up of the results.

"Lifestyle Migration and Residential Tourism represent a major trend in individualized societies worldwide, which is attracting a rapidly growing interest from the academic community. This volume for the first time, critically analyses the spatial, social and political consequences of such leisure-oriented mobilities and migrations. The book approaches the topic from a multidisciplinary and international perspective, unifying different branches of research, such as lifestyle migration, amenity migration, retirement migration, and second home tourism. By covering a variety of regions and landscapes such as mountain and coastal areas, rural and inland communities this volume productively engages with the formal and analytical variations of the phenomenon resulting in an enriching debate at the intersection of different areas of research. Amongst others, topics like political contest and civic participation of lifestyle migrants, their impacts on local communities, social tensions and inequalities induced by the phenomenon, as well as modes of transnational living, home and belonging will be thoroughly explored. This thought provoking volume will provide deep analytical and conceptual insights into the contested geographies of lifestyle migration and further knowledge into the spatial, social and political consequences of leisure-oriented mobilities. It will be valuable reading for students, researchers and academics from a plethora of academic disciplines"--

Lassen sich Lebensformen kritisieren? Lässt sich über Lebensformen sagen, sie seien gut, geglückt oder gar rational? Die politische Ordnung des liberalen Rechtsstaats versteht sich als Versuch, das gesellschaftliche Zusammenleben auf eine Weise zu gestalten, die sich zu den unterschiedlichen Lebensformen neutral bzw. "ethisch enthaltsam" verhält. Dadurch werden Fragen nach der Art und Weise, in der wir individuell oder kollektiv unser Leben führen, in den Bereich nicht weiter hinterfragbarer Präferenzen oder als unhintergehbar gedachter Identitätsfragen ausgelagert. Wie über Geschmack lässt sich über Lebensformen dann nicht mehr streiten. Rahel Jaeggi hingegen behauptet: Über Lebensformen lässt sich mit Gründen streiten. Lebensformen sind als Ensembles sozialer Praktiken auf die Lösung von Problemen gerichtet. Sie finden ihren Maßstab "in der Sache" des Problems.
