This paper contributes to the discussion on health
behavior change support systems by examining one of
the persuasive software features, social support. The
paper studies the influence of structural social support

environment. Specifically, the paper examines the
frequency of using two different kinds of online social
platforms (online forums and Facebook groups) that
are used to facilitate peer social support in weight loss
and their influence on perceived functional social
support types (emotional, informational, and
instrumental). The results show that frequent use of

informational support but much less than Facebook
support group usage does. Thus, modifying the support
platform makes it possible to influence perceived
functional social support.
