How individuals are using data and technology to support vulnerable populations

Trina Isakson

Effective allyship can help women entrepreneurs and other under-represented entrepreneurs knock down the hurdles they face. How do allies know they're engaging in the good stuff, and avoid the traps of performative allyship? The strategies you’ll learn in this webinar emerged from interviews with 100 women entrepreneurs, especially those who are BIPOC, as well as nonbinary entrepreneurs and experts in the field. You’ll learn: Easy steps to support the entrepreneurs you know -- including micro affirmations, Shine Theory, and sponsorship. What you can do to help make your local start-up ecosystem more inclusive and equitable. How being a good ally leads to a stronger economy, more jobs, and more innovation for everyone.

YTHTechSex: An Exploration of Youth Sexual Health and the Digital Landscape

YTH

What websites do young people use to find sexual health information? What do they think about online dating and cyberbullying? Join us as we present findings from our national study, YTHTechSex, that paints a picture of the digital landscape for youth and their health needs, and presents insights for future interventions. We will share stories from youth participants that we met across the United States, as well as introduce a youth-designed tech solution to cyberbullying.

Social Media and Mentoring: Policies, Gaps, and Boundaries Webinar

Friends for Youth, Inc.

This Webinar was presented as the first in a series exploring issues important to youth mentoring programs on August 17, 2010. Social media and networking offer numerous ways to professionally engage with youth, serving both program needs and youth adaptability. However, technology can also bring up questions about safety, boundaries, and appropriateness. Social Media and Mentoring: Policies, Gaps, and Boundaries explores social media and networking options and provides space for dialogue to explore safety and ethical considerations.

Social Marketing and Youth through a Community Collaborative Project

YTH

Not every agency or coalition is equipped to work with young people, especially when it comes to developing a social media or social marketing campaign with limited resources and high expectations. Where should you begin when the objective is teen pregnancy prevention but promoting sexual and reproductive health in general feels more right? With a room full of community stakeholders, adult allies must ensure that youth leadership and young people's needs don't get overlooked. Here are examples from communities in Hollywood, Orangeburg, and Salem piloting similar projects and how their lessons learned are transforming into a model for future programs.

How to Engage the GEN Y using Social Media ?

Feet Haven Reflexology/ The Influencer Network

Social networking is on the rise and study found that 22% of teenagers log onto their favorite social media sites more than 10 times a day. To connect effectively with your children or younger siblings, you have to learn more about the different social media platforms that they are on, understand how each platform work, communicate in their lingo and be seen as a ‘cool’ parent. The increased level of social engagement also saw the rise of cyberbullying, “Facebook depression” (a new phenomenon where “de-friending” and online bullying lead to symptoms of depression) and exposure to inappropriate content for our young ones.

The Digital Age of Peer Education: How to Utilize Multi-Media in Peer Educati...

YTH

In an era of diminished funding for teen pregnancy prevention and sexual and reproductive health promotion programs, California Family Health Council's (CFHC) Peer Educator Program meets teens where they are: online and on their phones. Our multi-media peer educator model trains teens to reach thousands of their peers with information that is vital to this generation's sexual and reproductive health. CFHC's peer educators are recruited from California 'hot-spots' where teen pregnancy and STD rates are disproportionately high. They are trained in multi-media best practices for sexual health education, and the content they create is shared on TeenSource.org, CFHC's online hub for sexual and reproductive health education and resources. Hear peer educators share their authentic experiences, from becoming skilled digital storytellers, to the positive impact the program has had through reaching youth with vital information and on their own sexual and reproductive health knowledge and behaviors.

Sexual Health is Just Health: Findings from a CDC National STD Prevention Tra...

YTH

Think about the last time you thought you had an STD. How did you feel? Who did you tell? What did you do? Awkward, right? Maybe this hasn't happened to you personally, but each year over 20 million Americans contract a Sexually Transmitted Disease. Over 50% are youth and most go undetected and untreated. Just Health is a risk screen app being used in over 100 School-Based Health Centers and is the flagship tool of a National CDC Center for Technology Innovation that is focused on adolescent sexual health. Just Health works to improve patient-provider communication and reduce stigma around a range of topics from safety, substance use, mental health, and sexual health including the intersectionality of needs and gender identity and sexual orientation. Just Health is an example of ongoing evaluation in real-word conditions. Population-level data are improving understanding of these needs and risks from a system perspective.

YTH

Zines (mini, independently created magazines) have been used throughout history as a tool to explore social and political issues. In this workshop, participants will be introduced to the history of zines. After a short presentation of the presenter's use of zines with Planned Parenthood's PG-13 Players, Vanderbilt LGBTQI Life, Students of Stonewall LGBTQI youth activism team, and Advocates for Youth, we will brainstorm together ways in which zines can be used in organizing and similar work, identify at least one practical way each of us can use zines in our life and work, and learn how to create a zine out of a single sheet of paper. Online resources and tools that can be used to amplify resources will be presented. Examples of zines in youth, health, and technology fields will be provided.

The Tangential Impacts of Design

Telemedicine is a collection of means or methods for enhancing health care, public health and health education delivery and support using telecommunications technologies. With more than 95% of adults, and 100% of young adults between the age of 18-29 owning a cell phone in the United States, a technology-based health intervention can be available to hard-to-reach populations or underserved areas. Panelists will engage a rich dialogue and showcase innovative and effective ways to create prevention programs for HIV and STDs using the potential telehealth can offer, specifically with linking young people to HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis, or PrEP. This plenary brings together leaders in the field of HIV prevention, research and policy along with private organizations and companies that are currently active on the field of biomedical prevention.

Positive Connections: Digital Support for Adolescents Living with HIV

YTH

Adolescents living with HIV need accurate information about their diagnosis, care, and treatment; as well as long-term counseling and support. In-person support groups are a promising approach to meeting these needs, however some ALHIV face distinct challenges to attending regular in-person meetings. Virtual support groups may help to overcome challenges such as transportation costs, living away from home because of school or work, fear of stigma, or perceived danger associated with disclosure to household members. In this session attendees will learn how FHI 360, on behalf of YouthPower Action, is currently adapting the evidence based â€œPositive Connections: Leading Information and Support Groups for Adolescents Living with HIV, for delivery via Facebook.

"It's Just a Preference": Dating Apps, Discrimination, and LGBTQ Health

YTH

It seems like there's a mobile app for just about everything nowadays even ones that can help you find that special someone. Although dating apps are great for finding new partners, they can also provide a platform for discriminatory language and behaviors, which can eventually lead to negative health outcomes. In this presentation, I'm going to combine data from qualitative interviews with gay men and actual language used on dating app profiles to shed light on how discrimination on these dating apps translates to negative health outcomes. Many LGBTQ folks rely on various technologies to connect with one another including LGBTQ youth but then face discrimination from those within their own community. Join me as I try to brainstorm solutions and reimagine the future of inclusive dating apps.

YTH

Are your social media ads flopping? Still using a flyer to recruit youth for research studies? Learn the to-do's and to-don'ts of using social media to recruit youth for research studies and programs. We recruited over 2,500 young women into two national randomized controlled trials to test two sexual health digital tools. We will show you our process for selecting the appropriate social media format to reach youth, developing relevant materials that makes youth click, and monitoring the campaigns to assess their effectiveness. We will share examples of our own materials, graphics, messages, recruitment videos, and tag lines used to entice youth. See how some flopped and how others exceeded our expectations. We will also present concrete data on recruitment cost, relevance, clicks, and reach, and how to tweak your campaigns to stay within budget and be more effective.

YTH

Can games improve the delivery of health services? We think so that's why our team has set out to explore whether gamification, the use of game elements in non-game contexts, can enhance services to prevent HIV and other sexually transmitted infections. We hypothesize that the foundational elements of games competition, collaboration, skill acquisition, and fun can motivate young men to engage in positive health behaviors to protect themselves and their communities. We are a team of epidemiologists, economists, clinicians, and game experts working together to understand whether games can be useful additions to the clinical setting.

Smart Connect: Bringing Contraceptive Services Closer to Adolescent Girls thr...

YTH

A360 revolutionizes the way adolescent girls access contraceptives by flipping the model and starting with what matters to her. In Tanzania, A360 has co-designed with girls a program called Kuwa Mjanja, where girls can "be smart" (Swahili translation) and learn about themselves both their bodies and their dreams. Kuwa Mjanja inspires and opens possibilities, empowering girls to take action by considering contraception as "the first step to taking control of your future now." Connecting with Sara (CwS) is a DHIS2-powered, open-source platform to track, link, and engage with Sara (our client) through use of mobile phones to facilitate engagement with community mobilizers, service providers, and follow-up efforts. CwS enables a new way to engage with and bring service delivery closer to Sara. The platform powers program teams to engage more dynamically with Sara and to actively use data to inform pathways to method adoption.

Over the course of the past four years, the Johns Hopkins Center for Communication Programs (CCP) repeatedly adapted the OppiaMobile platform an open-source, Android-based application for use in diverse country contexts. Each subsequent OppiaMobile app is developed as part of an evolving global system that supports thoughtful creation, curation, packaging and distribution of health-related content for health workers. With each subsequent adaptation of the OppiaMobile platform, CCP expands its ability to design and develop, sustainable context-specific job aids and BCC tools for frontline health workers and their clients.

Learning from real people through conversations at scale

YTH

During this presentation we will join in live conversation with 18-24 year olds in Kenya using mSurvey. We will develop a mobile conversation to answer any burning questions from the audience while also demonstrating best practices for mobile (e.g, concise content limited to 10 questions and 160 characters per question). Conversational responses from actual Kenyans will be viewed in real time allowing for a dynamic and iterative conversation about the most pressing issues impacting Kenyan youth today. Following the live conversation, we'll engage in a guided discussion about the advantages and disadvantages of mobile as a channel for connecting with global youth such as costs, ethical considerations, and content limitations.

YTH

The intersection of community engagement, research, and interactive technology is an innovative way for youth to develop leadership and 21st century skills. The California Adolescent Health Collaborative and community health clinic partners, Livingston Community Health and Asian Health Services, developed Project PARTNER, where youth in rural and urban communities learn critical thinking, problem solving, and collaborative processes through researching community health issues. \n\nYouth and adult allies from the health clinics were recruited to be members of a cross-generational and cross-regional community advisory board and were trained in research methodology. The online educational technology platform Kahoot!, and the mobile app Kahoot!, were utilized in training members on research fundamentals. The advisory boards then developed community surveys through Google Forms and utilized its mobile app feature to canvas neighborhoods to obtain community data. With data collected, they will develop research questions and participate in collaborative cross-site activities to support their research.

Alcohol use, gender based violence and HIV risk among female sex workers in T...

YTH

Female sex workers (FSWs) are disproportionately affected by HIV and gender-based violence (GBV). Substance use has been shown to overlap with these co-occurring epidemics to further increase FSWs' risk for negative health outcomes. However, limited research has explored how aspects of the sex work environment shapes this risk. In this session, we will discuss findings from a mixed methods study that examined how aspects of the sex work environment facilitate alcohol use and increase FSWs' risk for GBV and HIV. We will then discuss the implications these results have for future interventions, with a special focus on the role technology can play in addressing aspects of the sex work environment to limit alcohol use and reduce FSWs' risk for GBV and HIV.
