Why is it important?

Perspectives

The application of a social marketing approach in the university setting, including the use of various media such as university social media platforms, can provide social marketers and/or policymakers with the details needed to make decisions to improve healthy eating and PA behaviours and understand the determinants influencing the implementation of the program.
