Summary

The goal of this study is to test the effect of informational and emotional social support (via nutrition education, mental health support, and/or baking classes) through two different communication modalities (online vs. mixed mode / hybrid) on physical and mental health outcomes

Our research questions are the following.

1. Does an online social support program that provides informational and emotional support improve diet, anthropometry, and mental health?
2. Does a mixed-mode social support program that provides informational, emotional support through both online and face-to-face mode improve diet, anthropometry, and mental health?
3. Is a mixed mode social support program more effective in improving outcomes? Does meeting the group members face-to-face change the dynamics of online communication? If yes, what are the mechanisms? Are there differences in the following outcomes by communication modality?

1. Online bonding
2. Group identity
3. Quality of relationship
