The document describes a case study for the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation of America's (CCFA) efforts to raise awareness and engagement around Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD) during Awareness Week. It notes that about 1 in 200 Americans have IBD but it is not widely known or understood by the general public. To reach new donors and educate the public, the strategy involved encouraging patients to share their personal stories on social media using a branded hashtag, reposting these stories, and creating shareable infographics. This user-generated content approach helped increase social media engagement for CCFA compared to their previous advertising campaign.

This paper explores the ways in which gamification can be used to create digital health and e-learning toolkits, that make use of co-occurring themes found in Big Social Health Data in the form of social media updates shared by patients with chronic illness. Within the context of Coeliac Disease, I discuss the methodological concepts behind the building of smartphone health apps that I have produced by utilising themes uncovered in the area of self-care and the experience of multiple symptoms on both Twitter and Instagram . I look at how from the perspective of gamification - the structure and methodology behind the design of these tools may in turn have the potential to help and encourage newly diagnosed, young or existing Coeliacs to better manage their gluten free diets. This may be through practices such as (for younger patients) positive embodiment in the form role-play (e.g. a super hero with chronic illness), or for older patients - the practice of meta-tagging/quantifying and sharing their gluten free eating experiences via image-based apps that add an additional layer of health-quantification through posts to Twitter, Instagram and other social media. By using these techniques, I hope to go to some way to addressing the question of how patient knowledge as it applies to their lived experience of chronic disease - can be made useful to people with chronic disease (Pols 2013).

CDC NPIN In the Know: Facebook & Visual Social Media for Public HealthCDC NPIN
This is the fourth of six interactive webcasts in the series, In the Know: Social Media for Public Health. Each webcast focuses on a different social media channel and provides basic information, tips, success stories, and discussion on how best to use social media to promote public health and expand outreach initiatives.

Introduction
Approximately 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer during her life, making breast cancer the most common cancer in women within the U.S. (CDC)
Although very rare, women below the age of 45 can be diagnosed.
Many young women are not aware of the risks they may run in having breast cancer and therefore also don’t know the ways to manage their risks.
Thus the CDC launched the Bring Your Brave campaign in 2015, to be able to bring awareness and adequate information to women specifically those that are 45 and younger.
Introduction continued
The campaign has a target audience of women ages 18 to 44 focusing on those who are predisposed by having a family history of breast cancer.
In addition, the campaign also helps educate health care providers on how to help their patients who are high risk on how to manage and deal with these risk factors.
Interpersonal Channel
This channel is how the relationship can affect how receptive someone is to health messages being provided to them.
This channel is far more likely to be trusted than a media source.
For example, having a patient hear something related to her health from her doctor would help her more than if she read about it on social media.
Continued
A good way to envision this type of channel would be this example of Cara.
Being able to seek help through professionals one is comfortable is extremely helpful.
Having a connection to a health provider or counselor allows patients to feel more connected and receptive of information compared to hearing it from someone they don’t trust.
It can help patients come to term with their diagnoses and how to move forward after it.

A group channel include small number of people who are receiving the same educational message that are going through the same health issue. Some methods include; Support groups, seminars, and a class. In regards to Bring your Brave campaign I believe the best way to disseminate the message or material to a group is first to identify the intended audience, in this health promotion the intended audience will be women age 18- 45. The method in which I would reach the intended audience is a printed material. More specifically a poster. Posters are “good at raising awareness and communicating limited amounts of health information” (Bensley & Brookins -Fisher 2009). Posters are more expensive but are important as they can be placed in multiple locations : community centers, medical offices, on the bus, etc. Posters typically possess bold colors, Big or bolded font for important messages, and many pictures.

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

Key Topics:
Significance of Taste Sensation:
Differentiation between pleasant and harmful food
Influence on behavior
Selection of food based on metabolic needs
Receptors of Taste:
Taste buds on the tongue
Influence of sense of smell, texture of food, and pain stimulation (e.g., by pepper)
Primary and Secondary Taste Sensations:
Primary taste sensations: Sweet, Sour, Salty, Bitter, Umami
Chemical basis and signal transduction mechanisms for each taste
Taste Threshold and Index:
Taste threshold values for Sweet (sucrose), Salty (NaCl), Sour (HCl), and Bitter (Quinine)
Taste index relationship: Inversely proportional to taste threshold
Taste Blindness:
Inability to taste certain substances, particularly thiourea compounds
Example: Phenylthiocarbamide

Composition: Epithelial cells, Sustentacular/Supporting cells, Taste cells, Basal cells
Features: Taste pores, Taste hairs/microvilli, and Taste nerve fibers
Location of Taste Buds:
Found in papillae of the tongue (Fungiform, Circumvallate, Foliate)
Also present on the palate, tonsillar pillars, epiglottis, and proximal esophagus
Mechanism of Taste Stimulation:
Interaction of taste substances with receptors on microvilli
Signal transduction pathways for Umami, Sweet, Bitter, Sour, and Salty tastes

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

Social Media Strategy CCFA Case Study-Lenora Houseworth
1. Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation
of America Case Study
CHALLENGE
Raising awareness and donor engagement
around lesser known digestive diseases
called Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD)
during Awareness Week.
WHAT I DID:
• Social Media Strategy
• PR Activation
• Website Content Strategy
2. Understanding the Audience
INSIGHT:
With 1 in 200 Americans suffering from the pain and
embarrassment from inflammatory bowel diseases, chances
are you know someone with the disease—and you don’t know it.
TARGET:
New donors and the general public who
are unfamiliar with these horrible diseases.
STRATEGY:
• Encourage patients to share their unique
stories using a branded hashtag on social
• Repost patient stories on social
• Share patient stories on vanity URL on website
• Create highly shareable infographics in a way
the public will understand
• Create app showing potential supporters
the different ways they can help patients
3. The Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation
of America (CCFA) is the premier
non-profit foundation focused on
finding cures and educating the
massesaboutthesefairlyunknown
chronic conditions.
4. The Solution
STORYTELLING WITH
USER GENERATED CONTENT
CCFA originally rolled out Phase 1
of an advertising campaign, but
received backlash from the patient
community for not telling the full
story of the diseases. So I came
up with a new social media strategy
that reintroduced the campaign
and let the patients share their own
stories with vivid imagery.
We retitled the campaign
“Someone You Know,” as there is a
chance everyone knows someone
with one of these diseases. I was
responsible for the ad placement in
Times Square, strategizing the
campaign video, and running the
campaign across all social media
using the patient stories generated
from the branded hashtag I created.
5. The Result
• 63% increase in
engagement rate year to year
• 84% increase in daily reach on
Facebook year to year
• Helped make CCFA one
of the top nonprofits
with highest user
engagement penetration
on social media that year
• Increased positive brand
sentiment for CCFA
