- 60. H1N1 + SocialMedia • You want to disseminate your public health messaging for H1N1 to the general public and target the high-risk groups • Messaging focused on: – Prevention – How transmitted – Treatment – Vaccine • Find out what the public is really saying about H1N1 ―ground-truthing‖
- 61. Twitter • Use to: – Push out your message – must be ―short & sweet‖ – Rumor control (H1N1 vaccines) – Correct misinformation (pork & swine flu) – Direct people to your website or tel # to call – Monitor school closures – Find out what the public is doing (swine flu parties) • Know who you’re trying to reach, not all of your target audiences will use Twitter

They used social media as an interactive tool, taking comments and questions online.
- 64. Facebook • Use to: – Push out your message (wait times, clinic location) – Rumor control (H1N1 vaccines) – Correct misinformation (pork & swine flu) – Direct people to your website or tel # to call – Monitor school closures – Find out what the public is doing (swine flu parties) • Know who you’re trying to reach, not all of your target audiences will use Facebook – Sermo for physicians

- 73. Measuring the Effectof Social Media? • Social media has created a number of challenges. – First, given the unique characteristics of social media, one of the first challenges is knowing what to measure. – Second, do traditional instruments like a return on investment (ROI) provide an accurate picture of user engagement.

- 78. So What? • Newtechnologies allow rumors and alternative views to spread quickly. • You may think blogs and tweets and Facebook are silly, but people are using social media to talk about public health issues and find information. • The policies, analysis, justification, etc. are not evolving as quickly as the tools themselves. Social media are a new set of tools for the public health toolbox.

- #23 In May 2011, Facebook published a "Best Practice Guide: Marketing on Facebook" serves as an official resource on how to take advantage of Facebook's advertising products, social plugins, analytics and other tools to grow one's business. Social should be baked into everything you do, not added at the end of a campaign or done on the side. Add an authentic personality to your brand by providing an authentic and consistent voice. When possible engage in two-way conversations with your users. Just like in the real world, building relationships with users on Facebook takes time and requires a long-term investment

- #65 As we all may remember, 2009 included the arrival of the H1N1 type of A influenza virus. We passed the one year anniversary of its appearance in the United States in March 2009. After early outbreaks in North America in April 2009 the new influenza virus spread rapidly around the world. By the time WHO declared a pandemic in June 2009, a total of 74 countries and territories had reported laboratory confirmed infections. To date, most countries in the world have confirmed infections from the new virus.The new virus has also led to patterns of death and illness not normally seen in influenza infections. Most of the deaths caused by the pandemic influenza have occurred among younger people, including those who were otherwise healthy. Pregnant women, younger children and people of any age with certain chronic lung or other medical conditions appear to be at higher risk of more complicated or severe illness. Many of the severe cases have been due to viral pneumonia, which is harder to treat than bacterial pneumonias usually associated with seasonal influenza. http://www.who.int/csr/disease/swineflu/en/
- #66 A pandemic is the worldwide spread of a new disease. After early outbreaks in North America in April 2009 the new influenza virus spread rapidly around the world.

Many of the severe cases have been due to viral pneumonia, which is harder to treat than bacterial pneumonias usually associated with seasonal influenza. http://www.who.int/csr/disease/swineflu/en/As of April 25, 2010, more than 214 countries, including over 17,919 deathsCDC estimates that between 39 million and 80 million cases of 2009 H1N1 occurred between April and December 12, 2009. The mid-level in this range is about 55 million people infected with 2009 H1N1.CDC estimates that between 173,000 and 362,000 2009 H1N1-related hospitalizations occurred between April and December 12, 2009. The mid-level in this range is about 246,000 H1N1-related hospitalizations. CDC estimates that between 7,880 and 16,460 2009 H1N1-related deaths occurred between April and December 12, 2009. The mid-level in this range is about 11,160 2009 H1N1-related deaths. http://cdc.gov/h1n1flu/estimates_2009_h1n1.htm In contrast, the seasonal flu kills about 36,000 people a year, with 90 percent of these deaths occurring in people 65 years and older.influenza-like-illness (ILI),
- #67 So here is our scenario for today, High risk groups include: pregnant women; immunocompromised; college students; young children.You also want to find out what the public is really saying about the vaccine, transmission etc.
- #68 Social media was used extensively during H1N1 in 2009 to disseminate information, respond to rumors, and promote resources.
- #69 You could use Twitter to:Limited to 140 charactersRumor control about vaccine availability; autism & vaccine Not everyone is using Twitter, so it should be one tool among many used to disseminate your messages.
- #70 Here are 2 of the CDC’s Twitter feeds on H1N1.Their feeds: pointed to their H1N1 webpages new clinical care guidelines statistics on cases, hospitalizations, & deaths press briefings, testimony, webcasts vaccine information
- #71 Flu.gov’s Twitter pageFlu.gov is the US Government’s central site for information on H1N1. The HHS Interagency Public Affairs Group on Influenza Preparedness and Response, is responsible for coordinating pandemic-related information across the federal government.Flu.gov repeats or leads back to the CDC H1N1 webpages, but also included information from other USG sources, WHO, webcasts, FAQs etc.
- #72 PAHO’s Twitter feed links back to WHO, PAHO & CDC websites, press briefings, new reports, statistics etc.
- #73 Vaccine clinic hours & schedulesWait timesEligible groupsNeed for volunteersStatistics on H1N1 in local communities or stateFlu prevention tips
- #74 Like Twitter, Facebook could be used to:Promote flu vaccination (HHS created a badge for people to post on their Facebook pages that were vaccinated)Point people to your H1N1 information page
- #75 Much of the information that can be shared on Twitter can also be posted to Facebook although more detailed information can be shared here (not limited to word count)
- #77 PAHO’s YouTube channel includes videos on H1N1 and other public health concerns; however, they are available in English & Spanish
- #80 So how do you keep track of all of the sources of information on a topic, or resources you are using?You could try the following that I used for H1N1 last year.Use RSS feeds to stream new content to an iGoogle tab. iGoogle is a customizable page attached to your Google account, but that you can also share with others.Use web browser apps to update, track, search Twitter or Facebook. You can also download and use apps for your smartphones and cellphones to post new content to Twitter or Facebook.Firefox apps for Twitter :Ping.fm (updating social media tools all at once)TweetScan (search keywords in Twitter)ShareAHolic (share pages via Facebook, Twitter, email, Gmail etc.)Deepest Sender (WordPress blog)Brizzly (Twitter & Facebook streams on 1-page)Monkeyfly (retweets & searches)Flicrk appsTwitPic (send pictures to Twitter)TweetStats (statistics for your Twitter account)TwitterBar (post to your Twitter account right from the FF toolbar)
- #81 So how do you keep track of all of the sources of information on a topic, or resources you are using?You could try the following that I used for H1N1 last year.Use RSS feeds to stream new content to an iGoogle tab. iGoogle is a customizable page attached to your Google account, but that you can also share with others.Use RSS features & automated searches from Twitter, Google, YouTube, websites, journal TOCsBlog feedsPress release feedsCDC H1N1 flu update pageCDC YouTube channelGoogle search feedetc. to keep up-to-date on new postings, news or information
- #86 Live is more social, less serious more usefulFacebook is a “semi-protected environment” or “a semi-unknown place populated by semi-unknown users”.
- #87 Facebook and Twitter can be updated, posted to or followed via smartphone or cellphone using applications;Mobile internet access is only going to become more widespread and important in the future. In 2008, there were 4 billion mobile phone subscriptions, which reached 61 of every 100 people. While most mobile phone users are in the developed world, the developing world is rapidly increasing in number of users. This is where mobile internet access is important. Most people will access the internet and your content online via a phone not a computer.
