Supporting Forest and Peat Fire Management Using Social Media - Project OverviewUN Global Pulse
A feasibility study was conducted by Pulse Lab Jakarta on the use of real-time information from social media during forest and peat fires haze events to support emergency response management in Indonesia. Specifically, the study sought to explore early signals from Twitter relating to major forest fires or haze events with a view to understanding the relation between communications trends and on-the-ground events. The results of the study demonstrated that Indonesians tweet significantly more about haze during and immediately after major fire events.

This document discusses how technology can modernize health insurance enrollment and outreach efforts. It outlines how mobile websites, social media, voice/text messaging, and Google apps can be leveraged for enrollment. Low-income groups are fast adopters of mobile internet. Outreach strategies using these new technologies include conveying short program messages on mobile sites, using social networks to spread awareness, and sending personalized text/voice reminders about renewals. When combined with traditional outreach, these new methods can significantly increase enrollment applications as demonstrated by a Michigan campaign that saw a 20% increase through an integrated online and offline strategy.
Supporting the Post-2015 Development Agenda Consultations Using U-Report - Pr...UN Global Pulse
A wide range of consultations has taken place in Uganda to review the progress made towards achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and developing the Post-2015 national development agenda. In support of the process, Pulse Lab Kampala has developed a technical toolkit to further incorporate the “voices of the people” into the planning process. Pulse Lab Kampala analysed a dataset comprising 3.1 million messages from UNICEF’s U-report platform to understand the views of Ugandan youth on Post-2015 development topics. The analysis revealed that ‘Better Health Care,’ ‘Good Education’ and ‘Better Job Opportunities’ are top priorities for the youth that participated in the digital surveys conducted by UNICEF.

Freelance medical writers can benefit from using social media to stay up-to-date and network with colleagues. A survey of freelance medical writers found that LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter were the most commonly used platforms. However, many writers do not utilize social media tools or bookmarks. Writers indicated that social media is mostly used for exchanging information, professional development, and staying current on news and research. On average, writers spend 1-6 hours per week on social media. Webinars and listservs are also valuable resources that help writers learn. Continued monitoring of social media's role in healthcare is important for writers to adapt to changes in the field.
Building capacity for creating demand in support of malaria prevention and co...Malaria Consortium
Demand creation is the strategic combination of advocacy, communication and mobilisation approaches that seek to achieve increased community awareness of, and demand for, effective malaria prevention and treatment services.
Malaria Consortium's Support to National Malaria Programme (SuNMaP) demand creation strategy for prevention currently focuses on promoting the correct use of long lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) and the use of intermittent preventive therapy (IPT) in pregnant women. For malaria treatment, demand creation focuses on promoting improved testing, prompt and proper use of artemisinin combination therapy (ACT) treatment for individual cases of malaria, and effective home management of fever, together with referrals of severe cases to a higher-level health facility.
This learning paper discusses SuNMap's experiences of planning and implementing demand creation in Nigeria, including SuNMaP's development of a comprehensive malaria communications plan. It presents what worked well and the challenges that remain to scale up demand creation activities and to consolidate the work already done.
The document discusses the Health and Human Services COVID-19 vaccine public education campaign. The campaign aims to (1) inform the public about COVID vaccines and (2) increase vaccine confidence. It targets hesitant individuals to encourage vaccination. The campaign strategies include building confidence through education, preparing the public with facts, slowing spread pre-vaccine, and using PSAs, websites, media and social media. The document analyzes how the campaign aligns with adult learning theories but could be improved by addressing consequences of not vaccinating, providing psychological support, displaying community benefits, and targeting specific demographics.

The Intersection of Earned Media and Content MarketingHolly Potter
Earned media through word of mouth and traditional outlets still significantly impacts online traffic and awareness. Content creation is the most effective SEO tactic according to research. An organization can develop a content marketing strategy by understanding audiences, creating a content plan across multiple channels like blogs and videos, pitching to third-party sites and amplifying through social media and paid promotion. This converged approach that intersects earned, owned, and paid media can increase online traffic, engagement, and establish an organization as a thought leader.

This document summarizes findings from 4 rounds of surveys conducted in Ukraine between May and June 2020 to monitor public knowledge, risk perceptions, behaviors and trust regarding the COVID-19 pandemic. Key findings include low COVID-19 risk perception among most respondents, generally low trust in authorities, and high worries about loved ones' health. While knowledge of protective measures is high, some misperceptions exist, particularly among those with low education. Informal information sources like family and friends are most used and trusted. The summaries provide discussion questions and recommendations for tailored communications and outreach strategies.

iknowUshould2: Expanding a youth-driven STI/HIV testing social media campaign...YTH
Philadelphia youth are more likely than youth nationwide to be diagnosed with certain STIs, yet many are not routinely screened for STIs/HIV. The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia’s IknowUshould2 campaign started in 2012 targeted to reach youth aged 13-24 to improve knowledge and increase STI/HIV testing just relaunched to also improve youth knowledge and access to PrEP for HIV prevention using an integrated, youth-driven approach combining traditional media, social media, and outreach with community partners in Philadelphia. Come learn about our journey in developing, sustaining, and rebranding our health campaign IKNOWUSHOULD2!
The UN Free & Equal Campaign first year impact report summarizes the campaign's activities from July 2013 to August 2014. It achieved significant global reach through videos, fact sheets, social media, and traditional media that reached over 2 billion people. The campaign launched country-specific initiatives, engaged celebrities as supporters, and raised awareness of LGBT rights issues at the UN and globally.
La INFODEMIA es un neologismo que expresa la sobreinformación que sobre un tema se genera, en algunos casos de forma precisa y en otros no, y que hace difícil a las personas encontrar fuentes fiables para encontrar orientación cuando se necesita. Este gran volumen de información de un tema específico en un corto periodo de tiempo origina una “infoxicación”, es decir, una intoxicación por información. Si esta intoxicación se asocia a una pandemia actual (como la COVID-19) el término infodemia guarda un razonable parecido, teniendo en cuenta que en el “totum revolutum” es campo sembrado para los dimes y diretes, para la rumorología, la información errónea y la manipulación de las noticias con intenciones dudosas. En la era de las nuevas tecnologías de la información y comunicación, de la Web 2.0, 3.0, 4.0… y las que vengan, este fenómeno se amplifica a través de las redes sociales, ese patio de vecinos sin control, extendiéndose más y más rápido que un virus esta información inválida o tóxica: de ahí el término “viralización”.
Si juntamos los efectos del virus SARS-CoV-2 con los efectos de la viralización de las redes sociales, y teniendo en cuenta dos principios conocidos en la comunicación periodística (que una buena noticia no es noticia y que las falacias se difunden más rápido que las verdades), tenemos el cóctel perfecto para crear el caos, el miedo y la COVIDofobia.
Y para que conste la preocupación por la infodemia basta revisar el documento adjunto de la PAHO (Pan American Health Organization), miembro de la Wordl Health Organization, donde se exponen algunos datos de interés para conocer la dimensión de este problema: en el último mes se han volcado 361 millones de vídeos en YouTube en relación con el tema de la COVID-19 y cerca de 20.000 artículos sobre el tema en Google Scholar, así como 550 millones de tweets en un mes que incluían el término COVID-19 o pandemia.
Es crítico disponer del acceso a la información, pero en el momento adecuado y en el formato adecuado. Hoy todo gira sobre lo mismo. Desayunamos, comemos, merendamos, cenamos y hasta dormimos con la misma noticia, visto desde tantas perspectivas y con tantos autoproclamados expertos que ya nos sabemos a qué atenernos. En este ambiente de infodemia, donde campa a sus anchas la prensa amarillista y los que sientan cátedra con la osadía de su desconocimiento, no se pueden aplicar los principios de calma y coherencia tan necesarios para la toma de decisiones.

public service announcement as Informal knowledge systemVanita Saini
Public service announcements (PSAs) provide valuable information to the public to positively impact their lives without selling a product. This document discusses PSAs as an informal knowledge system in society. It outlines the objectives of studying PSAs, including how they communicate messages and their effects on social and economic growth. Case studies on India's "Pulse Polio" immunization campaign and the "Incredible India" tourism campaign are examined to show how PSAs can effectively change public opinion and behavior at the regional, national, and international levels through the use of emotional appeals.

This document summarizes preliminary results from a study measuring the attitudes of journalism and public relations students in Australia towards reporting and communicating about suicide. It found that:
- Journalism students generally aligned well with evidence-based recommendations for reporting on suicide, though alignment was lower on some issues like including location details. Their exposure to guidelines through university varied.
- Public relations students also generally agreed with recommendations, with lower alignment around some issues. Their exposure was also mixed.
- Both groups reported relatively low stigma of suicide and felt university coverage was important, with journalism students having more exposure through courses than public relations students.
Today, new research has been released that examines attitudes towards the professional communication about suicide held by public relations and communication professionals in Australia.
this report forms part of a PhD and was supported by staff at the Hunter Institute of Mental Health working on the Mindframe National Media Initiative and the Public Relations Institute of Australia.

This document discusses the potential for eHealth tools to improve access to and engagement with treatment for mental health and substance use disorders in Australia. It notes that currently only a small percentage of people seek treatment, often many years after the onset of their disorder. Barriers include a lack of services, stigma, and individual attitudes. eHealth shows promise as a way to overcome these barriers by increasing access through mobile and online platforms. Studies have found eHealth tools are as effective as in-person treatment and may improve outcomes for some individuals. The document highlights several Australian eHealth programs and their ability to engage hard-to-reach groups. It concludes that eHealth represents an opportunity to transform mental health services and better support the community.

This document discusses mental health issues affecting young people. It begins by defining mental health and distinguishing it from mental illness. Nearly 14% of Australian 4-17 year olds experience a mental illness each year, with anxiety and depression being most common. Risk factors include chronic illness, poverty, and bullying. Protective factors include good relationships and problem-solving skills. Educators play a key role in fostering wellbeing, monitoring students, and linking those in need with support services. With early intervention, positive outcomes are possible.

Causes Supporting Charity for Elderly PeopleSERUDS INDIA
Around 52% of the elder populations in India are living in poverty and poor health problems. In this technological world, they became very backward without having any knowledge about technology. So they’re dependent on working hard for their daily earnings, they’re physically very weak. Thus charity organizations are made to help and raise them and also to give them hope to live.

Good morning and welcome back to Energy Source, coming to you from New York, where the city swelters in its first heatwave of the season.
Nearly 80 million people were under alerts in the US north-east and midwest yesterday as temperatures in some municipalities reached record highs in a test to the country’s rickety power grid.
In other news, the Financial Times has a new Big Read this morning on Russia’s grip on nuclear power. Despite sanctions on its economy, the Kremlin continues to be an unrivalled exporter of nuclear power plants, building more than half of all reactors under construction globally. Read how Moscow is using these projects to wield global influence.
Today’s Energy Source dives into the latest Statistical Review of World Energy, the industry’s annual stocktake of global energy consumption. The report was published for more than 70 years by BP before it was passed over to the Energy Institute last year. The oil major remains a contributor.

New report offers sobering view of the energy transition
Every year the Statistical Review of World Energy offers a behemoth of data on the state of the global energy market. This year’s findings highlight the world’s insatiable demand for energy and the need to speed up the pace of decarbonisation.
Here are our four main takeaways from this year’s report:
Fossil fuel consumption — and emissions — are at record highs
Countries burnt record amounts of oil and coal last year, sending global fossil fuel consumption and emissions to all-time highs, the Energy Institute reported. Oil demand grew 2.6 per cent, surpassing 100mn barrels per day for the first time.
Meanwhile, the share of fossil fuels in the energy mix declined slightly by half a percentage point, but still made up more than 81 per cent of consumption.
