  • Socioeconomic Position and Mass Media Campaigns to Prevent Chronic Disease
    Socioeconomic position and mass media campaigns to prevent chronic disease Robin S Armstrong Master of Applied Science (Research) Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Public Health and Social Work and Institute of Health and Biomedical Innovation Faculty of Health Queensland University of Technology March, 2014 Keywords Evaluation, health language, health literacy, health promotion, socioeconomic disadvantage, socioeconomic position, mass media campaign, understanding, chronic disease prevention. Socioeconomic position and mass media campaigns to prevent chronic disease Page i Abstract Background Decades of health promotion efforts aimed at changing health behaviour have resulted in improvements in health, but at a slower pace for lower socioeconomic groups than for their higher socioeconomic counterparts. This slower rate of response by lower socioeconomic groups to health promotion has been said to contribute to a widening gap in health inequality, and mass media health promotion campaigns have been suggested to be a class of interventions that generate health inequality. There is little solid evidence to support these claims, and the methodological rigour of studies that evaluate mass media campaign development and outcomes has been questioned in systematic reviews. The aims of the research presented in this thesis are to ascertain socioeconomic (SEP) differences in mass media campaign outcomes and explore the idea that respondent understanding of campaign messages and language may influence campaign effectiveness. Based on an evaluation framework, the campaign outcomes assessed were reach, understanding and effectiveness. Methods The study was conducted in Brisbane in 2010 following the third wave of the televised component of the Measure Up campaign, part of the Australian Better Health Initiative (ABHI).
