If you like that, great, but here are some alternative feeds I like.
It shows that low-cost, non-targeted digital exposure can shift real-world health behavior.
Funded by #Sanquin, supported by VU Network Institute 🙏
- New Facebook followers were 32% more likely to make their first donation
- They made 12% more whole blood donations over one year
- They made 17% more total donations, including plasma donations
These effects emerged without reminders, incentives, or direct outreach.
#publichealth
🔹 Follow the Dutch blood bank (Sanquin) on Facebook
🔹 Control (no follow)
We tracked behavior over 6 months via Sanquin’s records, and additionally ran 3 surveys
