GuideAPlanner’sGuideAPlanner’sGuideAPlanner’sGuide Preface his book is a revision of the original Making Health Communication Programs Work, first printed in 1989, which the Office of Cancer Communications (OCC, now the Office of Communications) of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) developedT to guide communication program planning. During the 25 years that NCI has been involved in health communication, ongoing evaluation of our communication programs has affirmed the value of using specific communication strategies to promote health and prevent disease. Research and practice continue to expand our understanding of the principles, theories, and techniques that provide a sound foundation for successful health communication programs. The purpose of this revision is to update communication planning guidelines to account for the advances in knowledge and technology that have occurred during the past decade. To prepare this update, NCI solicited ideas and information from various health communication program planners and experts (see Acknowledgments). Their contributions ranged from reviewing and commenting on existing text to providing real-life examples to illustrate key concepts. In addition, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) provided extensive input as part of the agency’s partnership with NCI. Although communicating effectively about health is an exacting task, those who have the earlier version of this publication know that it is possible. We hope the ideas and information in this revision will help new health communication programs start soundly and mature programs work even better.

  • Theory at a Glance Was Published
    Theory Glance at a A Guide For Health Promotion Practice (Second Edition) U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES National Institutes of Health Foreword decade ago, the first edition of Theory at a Glance was published. The guide was a welcome resource for public health practitioners seeking a single, concise summary of health behavior theories that was neither overwhelming nor superficial. As a government publication in the public domain, it also provided cash-strapped Ahealth departments with access to a seminal integration of scholarly work that was useful to program staff, interns, and directors alike. Although they were not the primary target audience, members of the public health research community also utilized Theory at a Glance, both as a quick desk reference and as a primer for their students. The National Cancer Institute is pleased to sponsor the publication of this guide, but its relevance is by no means limited to cancer prevention and control. The principles described herein can serve as frameworks for many domains of public health intervention, complementing focused evidence reviews such as Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Guide to Community Preventive Services. This report also complements a number of other efforts by NCI and our federal partners to facilitate more rigorous testing and application of health behavior theories through training workshops and the development of new Web-based resources. One reason theory is so useful is that it helps us articulate assumptions and hypotheses concerning our strategies and targets of intervention. Debates among policymakers concerning public health programs are often complicated by unspoken assumptions or confusion about which data are relevant.

  • Diffusion of Innovations in Service Organizations: Systematic Review and Recommendations
    Diffusion of Innovations in Service Organizations: Systematic Review and Recommendations TRISHA GREENHALGH, GLENN ROBERT, FRASER MACFARLANE∗,PAULBATE, and OLIVIA KYRIAKIDOU∗ University College London; ∗University of Surrey This article summarizes an extensive literature review addressing the question, How can we spread and sustain innovations in health service delivery and or- ganization? It considers both content (defining and measuring the diffusion of innovation in organizations) and process (reviewing the literature in a sys- tematic and reproducible way). This article discusses (1) a parsimonious and evidence-based model for considering the diffusion of innovations in health service organizations, (2) clear knowledge gaps where further research should be focused, and (3) a robust and transferable methodology for systematically re- viewing health service policy and management. Both the model and the method should be tested more widely in a range of contexts. Key Words: Diffusion of innovation, systematic review, implementation. his article summarizes the findings of a systematic literature review of the diffusion of service inno- T vations.

  • Communicating the Risks of Urban Air Pollution to the Public. a Study of Urban Air Pollution Information Services
    Rev. Int. Contam. Ambie. 31 (4) 361-375, 2015 COMMUNICATING THE RISKS OF URBAN AIR POLLUTION TO THE PUBLIC. A STUDY OF URBAN AIR POLLUTION INFORMATION SERVICES Christian OLTRA* and Roser SALA Centro de Investigación Sociotécnica, Departamento de Medio Ambiente, Centro de Investigaciones Energéticas, Medioambientales y Tecnológicas (CIEMAT). Gran Vía de las Cortes Catalanas 604, Barcelona, España, 08007 *Corresponding author: [email protected] (Received September 2014; accepted April 2015) Key words: air quality, risk communication ABSTRACT Communicating to the public about urban air pollution is a complex task. It requires careful consideration of the goals and objectives of the communication, the target audience, the type of information and the messages to be conveyed, and the vehicles through which the message will be delivered. This complexity increases when the goal of communication is not only making information about air pollution available to the public, but also to promote socially beneficial changes in the behavior of various social groups. In order to understand in greater depth the challenges of communicating dif- ferent air pollution issues, we evaluated the public air pollution information services provided by public information services in four Spanish cities, based on interviews with experts and a documentary analysis. We identified the main features in terms of five dimensions (goals of communication, type of information, communication mechanisms, intended audience and intended effects), then we explored the limitations of these information systems, and analyze the beliefs and assumptions of the experts concerning communicating with the public. We recommend that air quality manage- ment planners assess their opportunities to foster both a broader public engagement and behavioral modifications in a way that complements and extends current structural and informational interventions.

  • The Epic Guide to Branded Video “There's Always Room for a Story That Can Transport People to Another Place.”
    The Epic Guide to Branded Video “There's always room for a story that can transport people to another place.” J.K. Rowling Foreword Jerrid Grimm Co-Founder & CEO, Pressboard Our sincerest thanks to The power of video is undeniable. The combination of sight and sound evokes emotional responses difficult to replicate through any other format. A story told through video can make people burst into laughter or shed tears of sadness. Video transports the viewer to another place, another time — and with advances in virtual reality it’s even possible to see the world through someone else’s eyes.​ What video is not, by any means, is easy. Fraught with challenges in production, distribution and measurement, video is one of the most resource-heavy creative processes out there. As brands move from making one or two TV commercials a year to creating weekly or even daily video for social media, these challenges grow exponentially.​ Pressboard is a story marketplace. We make it easy for brands to collaborate with hundreds of media publishers on video content — instead of ads. In that same collaborative spirit, we created this guide to combine the wisdom of the greatest video minds in the world and turn those insights into actionable advice that marketers, publishers, creators and technologists can all apply to their own brands. We cannot wait to see the stories that you will tell.​ 3 Foreword Mark Greenspan Chief Influencer, influenceTHIS Founding Members In an effort to support the growth of the branded content industry in Canada we have partnered with Pressboard to distribute this report to marketers, advertisers, influencer networks and creators.
