Social Marketing for Behaviour Change: Topic: Ethics in Tanzania Jim Mintz
There is a long history internationally of social marketing programs being run in developing countries in social and health areas, however, at the time of CEPSM’s involvement, there were no examples of successfully applying social marketing in the advancement of ethics in government.
This project yielded a diverse set of lessons learned.
• Although the process of social marketing is quite resilient there are major challenges implementing social marketing in a setting with very little modern technology, and unique culture and language differences.
• If you use a disciplined approach to social marketing planning which includes an extensive environmental scan, conducting marketing research and developing effective marketing mix strategies your chance of success is quite good.
• It is important to train your developing country client on how to develop & implement a social marketing strategy and plan so when you leave they have the skills to continue to implement the strategy
• Developing countries do not have access to funds so you need to be innovative and find low cost ways to conduct marketing research and implement social marketing tactics.
• There are many stakeholders involved in social marketing initiatives in the developing world so your social marketing strategy needs to take into consideration the involvement of several outside groups. (e.g. non-state actors)

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.

Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex System Analysis, S...Oleg Kshivets
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.

43. Administration Division
1. People living in Poverty/Chronic Crisis have a
different life experience than those with middle-
class or higher resources
• These life experiences shape a perspective that
influences decision-making.
• “Valuable” information comes from family or
friends or other relationships via spoken word –
often in a story that has been related.
• Written materials, notices, flyers, brochures, letters
etc. may have limited impact because the favored
form of communication is ORAL.
44. Administration Division
2. Middle Class Values Systems are the
Standard
• Systems for ‘helping’ those in poverty and chronic
crisis are set up on a Middle Class Values System.
• Values that include an emphasis on long-term
planning and strategizing, saving, relying on the
printed word for proof.
• Values that EXPECT people to react in a certain way
to a certain set of circumstances and/or resources.
• Values that EXPECT a predictable set of
MOTIVATIONS.
• Favored form of communication is WRITTEN.
45. Administration Division
3. Reframe Conflicts of Communication to
Conflicts of Expectations
• Conflicts in Communication are really just Conflicts in
Expectations.
• Motivation differs between social classes.
• Personal Experiences Shape Our Expectations
• Our expectations of what others “should do” or “can do” is
based upon our own PERSONAL life experiences.
• We say “if that were me, I would……”
46. Administration Division
4. All Humans Are Inclined to Socialize and
Hang Out With People Who Are Very Similar to
Themselves.
The first rule of changing your life (regardless of class
status) is to change your network of associates. -
smoking, drinking, dieting, spirituality etc.
Connect people to as many people as possible who
are NOT CURRENTLY living in crisis. For example:
– If you are working on poverty – connect to as many people
NOT in poverty.
– If you are working on delinquency, connect to as many
people NOT engaged in criminal activity.
47. Administration Division
5. Decision Fatigue Has a Greater Effect
on Those in Poverty/Crisis
• Decision Fatigue is a biological state that
happens to everyone.
• If you are using most of your decision
making power on basic needs (pay the rent
or buy food), you have less DM power for
other things.
• In DF, people will make one of two choices –
Risky Choice or No Choice at all.
48. Administration Division
6. There are Concepts That Poverty and
Chronic Crisis Teach
Fate Failure Future Money
Emotions Education
Jobs
Penalties Nutrition/Fitness Police
Education Doctors/Dentists
49. Administration Division
7. There are Hidden Rules or
Concepts of the Middle Class
• Future is what you make it.
• Failure is not an option – try harder and don’t give
up!
• You control your own fate.
• Money is to be saved and invested and shared
through charitable donations.
• Be in control of your emotions at all times.
• Education is the pathway to success.
• Penalties and discipline are to be avoided.
50. Administration Division
8. What’s My Part? - Bridge the
Expectation Gap
• Be aware of the unspoken expectation and motivation gap.
• Use stories that are relatable to reach those from Oral
Cultures.
• LISTEN to THEIR story.
• Use stories to create VISUAL IMAGERY.
• Consider how FEAR and STRESS affect growth and decision
making.
• DO NOT rely on one method of communication.
Standardization of communication will lessen your ‘reach’
and will affect your intended outcomes.
51. Administration Division
9. Written materials will only reach a certain
segment of your intended audience.
DO NOT rely on one method of
communication. Standardization and
automization of communication will lessen
your ‘reach’ and will adversely affect your
intended outcomes.
52. Administration Division
10. Believe in EVERYONE’S ability to Learn
and Grow Throughout Their Lifetime.
• Everyone has the ability to learn – it just may not
be in the “traditional” way and it may take longer
than you expect.
• Add to a person’s resiliency bank without an
expectation that YOU will see the results.
• Go beyond simply reflecting strengths – use
imagery to override potential negative self talk/self
image.
• People who have moved out of poverty or crisis
will nearly always mention a particular PERSON
who helped them, not a program.
53. Administration Division
The Art of the Story
• Creates framework for understanding and is
a mechanism for memory.
• Creates vivid visual imagery (with
IDENTIFICATION).
• Creates energy/inspiration/motivation.
• Positions problems in the foreground and
then shows overcoming them. Moves from
FEAR to SUCCESS.
56. Administration Division

Note the time has to be entered as a number of seconds – so if you want 2mins & 30secs – this is entered as 150 (60X2 + 30 = 150).

Alright, well there you have it. We got through our agenda, hopefully met our goals, and it is almost time to end. I want to thank everyone for being here today and being attentive. A few more item to address and we’re done. I want to say a great big thank you to each of the All Staff Planning Team members for doing such a great job pulling this event off today. If you could each stand up for a second so we can recognize you. Thank you.
I’ll ask one more time if there are any questions that staff would like answered while I’m up here, or we can bring back any of the presenters for Q&A?
Ok, Jill, let’s draw the last two CTR raffle winners.
And as one more thank you to staff, Torney was generous enough to make the centerpieces on tables. Under one chair at each of your tables is a sticker. If your chair has a sticker, that indicates you are taking home your tables centerpiece. Again, please treat this as a thank you for the great work you do for us every day and your commitment to public health.
