This document summarizes a passive messaging campaign at Rutgers University to educate students about reducing risks and promoting safer behavior related to alcohol. The campaign aimed to increase knowledge among students living in residence halls through distributing educational materials and hosting alcohol-free events. Residence assistants were provided toolkits to create their own boards. The campaign saw participation from 60% of campus residence halls and positive feedback, with plans to evaluate its long term impact on drinking norms.
Integrated Community Case Management_FriedmanCORE Group
This document reviews operational experiences linking nutrition and integrated community case management (iCCM). It identifies four typologies of experiences: 1) advising caregivers on feeding sick children within iCCM; 2) linking iCCM with social and behavior change activities on nutrition; 3) assessing and referring children with acute malnutrition through iCCM; and 4) treating uncomplicated severe acute malnutrition at the community level. The review finds some evidence that each typology can increase coverage of nutrition services, but also identifies challenges and questions remaining around quality of care, costs, and impact on child health outcomes. The conclusions emphasize that the appropriate approach depends heavily on contextual factors like community health workers' existing responsibilities and the political environment.

The goal is to understand determinants of HCV healthcare utilization in order to generate effective health promotion strategies for this at-risk population.
This study explored the experiences and coping strategies of mature students who completed an Access course and transitioned into university health profession programs. Semi-structured questionnaires were sent to 50 Access students, with a 50% response rate. Follow up focus groups and interviews provided additional insights. The majority of respondents were female students balancing family, work, and study commitments. Key coping strategies included developing academic skills and peer networks through Access courses. Support from family and intrinsic motivations to change careers helped students overcome challenges like financial barriers and time constraints. The research highlights how Access courses equip mature students with skills for university success and the importance of institutional support that recognizes their dual roles and responsibilities.
The document discusses the Most Significant Change (MSC) method for participatory evaluation. MSC involves participants sharing stories of significant change from their perspectives related to an intervention. These stories are analyzed and filtered through different organization levels. MSC is useful when programs adapt to different contexts leading to varying outcomes, when the relationship between causes and effects is unclear, or when evaluations focus on learning rather than just accountability. Strengths include flexibility and capturing a broad range of results, while limitations include potential biases in story selection and views of those who are good storytellers.
This document discusses using social media to disseminate public health messages to students. It finds that 67% of internet users use social media and that sites like Facebook and Instagram are most popular among students. A survey of students found they want targeted, exciting, interactive messages on these platforms using simple language, reliable facts, and short, entertaining videos with statistics. The document aims to use social media more effectively to spread health information to a wide student audience.

This document proposes solutions to address the growing rates of breast cancer in rural China. It aims to provide education on breast cancer causes and prevention, offer screening resources, and support patient communities. Key challenges include effective information dispersal in rural areas and developing affordable screening. Research found lack of healthcare information and links between lifestyle, diet, and cancer. The proposal is a mobile clinic with examination rooms, medical equipment, and telemedicine for education, primary care, screening, and treating simple diseases. Shipping containers are suggested for their sustainability, low-cost, and adaptability.
Rates of breast cancer are increasing in rural China, projected to reach 100 cases per 100,000 women aged 55-69 by 2021. This is attributed to poor diet, pollution exposure, and tobacco/alcohol use. The document proposes several initiatives to address this through education on prevention, screening and early detection, and patient support. It discusses developing low-cost screening options and an outreach campaign to disperse information in rural areas, noting challenges around health messaging and developing affordable solutions within financial constraints. Key research areas are a lack of healthcare information in rural communities and links between lifestyle, genetics, and breast cancer risk.

Similar to Status Matters: NCCU Women Empowered Against HIV (20)
4. About NCCU North Carolina Central University (NCCU) located in Durham, NC Comprehensive HBCU 100 years old Approximately 8,500 students Over 60% women High percentage of low-wealth students from rural areas of North Carolina
6. Meeting the Need… This is what we know… Dramatic increase of HIV infection among young African-American women in southern rural areas. High risk sexual behaviors among African-American female college students. Need for programs focusing on African-American female college students. This is our hope for the future… Empowered & confident young women Significant reduction in risky sexual behaviors
7. What is “Status Matters”? A multi-component project is to prevent the transmission of HIV among African-American female college students 18-24 years of age at NCCU. Project components: Adaptation of the SISTA curriculum taught by peer educators Tailored social marketing campaign to impact HIV testing and preventative behaviors
8. Project Goals To develop a cadre of African-American female peer educators to implement SISTA curriculum in order to prevent HIV infection among priority population. To prevent/reduce risky behaviors associated with HIV infection among priority population. To develop and implement a tailored social marketing campaign designed to increase the number who know their HIV status.
10. Lessons… How has Status Matters evolved since October 2010? Timeline changes Initial objectives have been modified Perceived communication channels were not necessarily preferred by priority population SISTA curriculum adaptation must include focus on HIV testing and knowing one’s status
11. Lessons… What changes have/are we making in response to our progress? Revised the timeline for each component Project objectives are more realistic based on college students’ calendar Working with NMAC to develop the campaign using the students’ feedback Adapting SISTA curriculum to include addressing the Status Matters goals

African American women, including young women 18-24 years of age, are at a persistent high risk for HIV infection and other sexually transmitted diseases. African American women suffer a disproportionate rate of HIV infection and AIDS. They accounted for 66% of HIV/AIDS diagnosis in 2005 while white females accounted for 17%. Yet, African American women constituted 13% of the United State female population and whites constituted 66% of the female population. This presentation will provide an overview of factors that put African American female college students at risk for HIV infection. Secondly, the presentation will describe a project that was designed to prevent the transmission of HIV among female students 18-24 years of age at a Historically Black University using SISTA HIV Intervention. SISTA is a peer-led, skill-building intervention to prevent HIV infection among African-American women. SISTA is guided by two theories: social cognitive theory and theory of gender and power. The intervention consists of five weekly two-hour sessions that cover the following topics: Ethnic/Gender Pride, HIV/AIDS Education, Assertiveness Skills Training, Behavioral Self-Management, and Coping Skills. Research findings reported an increase in consistent condom use, greater sexual self-control, greater sexual assertiveness, and reported an increase in partner norms supportive of safer sex. Social marketing campaigns have been developed for college students to highlight health issues including: safe sex practices (primarily condom use), smoking cessation, alcohol use, healthy eating, and physical activity. However, there are only few federally funded programs that focus on social marketing campaign development as an HIV prevention strategy for African-American college students. The United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) supports the implementation of social marketing programs to limit the spread of HIV/AIDS, citing them as “an effective and cost efficient tool” (UNAIDS, 1998, p. 3). Furthermore, health services researchers have emphasized the need for more well-planned HIV marketing interventions to reach high-risk populations (Thomas and Bartelli, 2001). Finally, President Obama’s National HIV/HIDS Strategy for the United States (2010) acknowledges that approximately 21% of people with HIV in the U.S. still do not know their status. Moreover, this national strategy highlights studies which indicate that people who do not know their HIV status are more likely to engage in HIV transmission-related risk behaviors. The objective of the social marketing campaign for “Status Matters” is to empower African-American female college students to go beyond encouraging testing. Thus, empowering them to know their HIV status and take the necessary protective steps to either remain negative or for positive participants to get treatment. Therefore, it is a critical component for the effectiveness and sustainability of this multi-component HIV intervention. There are four phases to the development of the “Status Matters” social marketing campaign, driven by student feedback: planning and strategy development, developing and pretesting materials/messages, implementing the program, and evaluating effectiveness. Using a non-probability, criterion sampling technique, an initial focus group session was conducted using a semi-structured protocol consisting of ten open-ended questions. The purpose of this focus group with African-American female HBCU students was to determine the key messages, strategies, and best channels for the “Status Matters” campaign. Assessment questions were informed by constructs of the Theory of Reasoned Action, the Transtheoretical Model, and the Health Belief Model. The session was digitally recorded and transcribed for data analysis. Data were analyzed by three researchers to determine the common themes for key messages, strategies, and best channels for this population and HBCU environment. The results of this initial stage of social marketing campaign development will inform the development of tailored messages and the channels that are most likely to reach and empower this unique population.
