Editor's Notes
- HC- Involves more than production of messages & materials Research/audience-centered Doesn’t necessarily use mass media or advertising, but is focused on communication. [VS MEDIA CAMPAIGN: “ A planned program using (the mass media or) advertising aimed at a particular target market or audience over a defined period of time for the purpose of increasing sales or raising awareness of a product or service.”]

Test concepts & messages for: Acceptability, Understandability, Relevance, Appropriateness, Effectiveness, Credibility, Potential unintended consequences Identify effective messaging, design, format, tone, sources, channels & settings. 4. Process Evaluation/ Tracking Are messages delivered appropriately, effectively, efficiently? Are messages reaching intended audiences & meeting info needs? Identify partnership successes/failures, emerging partner needs Need for refinements/redirection? Outcome/Impact Evaluation Has campaign impacted audience awareness, knowledge, attitudes, or behavior? Are there any unforeseen results/unintended consequences? Need for refinement/redirection?
- 1. Exploratory research used to assess the health issue & identify all components of possible solutions: Review available data (epi, beh, consumer srv, other) Environmental scan to identify gaps & best practices Determine appropriate roles for health communication//Identify necessary approaches for bringing about desired change Establish logical program development process communication program that supports clearly defined objectives, Set priorities Assign responsibilities & assess progress (accountability) Avert potential disaster

While people want health, it is not always a priority. Often, to achieve it, people must give up time, convenience, money, pleasure. What’s the benefit to consumer?
- “ Marketing Mix” Product. Targeted behavior change +/ potential benefits/gains for intended audience Price. Cost to consumer to receive program benefits (in/tangible); what consumer must give up Promotion. How the exchange is communicated (appeals used) Place . Channels & settings used to reach intended audience (e.g., mass media, community, interpersonal) These strategies evolve from consumer research -to determine what benefits and costs they would consider acceptable and how they might be reached. importance of understanding intended audiences
- Note: promise without delivery = extremely damaging Brand aims to generate buzz, remove taboo & stigma around STD testing Get youth talking about testing in a way in which they are comfortable call to action that becomes part of youth’s vernacular
- audience has primary, interactive role in process Both= grounded in consumer research - to determine: - what benefits and costs they would consider acceptable how they might be reached. importance of understanding intended audiences & designing strategies based on their wants and needs (rather than what good health practice directs that they should do) Segmentation: the purpose of finding & addressing common benefits/barriers SM considers each element of the marketing mix & how they could be applied to the situation & selects the best elements to address it, based on goals & resources.
