Abstract

This paper investigates the adoption of attitudinal and behavioural changes in consumers via the influence of their social networks and the perceived risk in adopting/not-adopting the health care message being presented. This was tested in the context of booster seat use in families aged 4-9. A sample of 1,092 parents/caregivers was used. This paper’s findings report on the importance of the interaction of messaging in perceived health risk and social networks.
