This commentary reflects on potential explanations for our failure to detect effects of a mailed communication intervention promoting the use of prescription medication take-back boxes among a rural population of adults. This field experiment included adults (Intervention: N = 3,255; Comparison: N = 3,325) in six counties in Mississippi. Pretest and posttest surveys measured use of take-back boxes, intention to use take-back boxes, and Reasoned Action Approach predictors of intention: attitudes, descriptive norms, injunctive norms, and perceived behavioral control. Analyses indicated that the intervention failed to increase participants' intention to use prescription medication take-back boxes. Possible explanations for these null effects include intervention design, low response rates, methodological challenges, and stigma related to the topic area. This commentary provides insights into these explanations and implications for health communication campaigns.","PeriodicalId":16026,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Health Communication","volume":"30 sup1","pages":"68-69"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143753014","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By analyzing usage statistics and user feedback, we assessed the effectiveness of various technology-mediated COVID-19 audio message formats (songs, expert interviews, endorsements, and dramas) delivered using the Amplio Talking Book device to rural communities in Ghana during the COVID-19 pandemic. Our findings indicate that different messaging formats resulted in varying levels of user engagement and interest. Shorter audio messages (1-5 minutes) and endorsements from credible and familiar community stakeholder significantly fostered trust and adoption. Establishing a consistent user feedback loop was essential for providing clarifications, addressing queries, and diffusing disinformation and misinformation, especially considering the unprecedented nature of the COVID-19 outbreak. Reflecting on these insights, we discuss effective strategies for creating engaging technology-mediated public health and behavior change messages during public health crises.","PeriodicalId":16026,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Health Communication","volume":" ","pages":"50-58"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142710261","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To address this need, we conducted virtual qualitative message testing via focus groups and individual in-depth interviews with a demographically and psychographically diverse mix of 100 English-speaking U.S. adults in March and April 2024. Following best practices in health literacy and plain language, we developed and tested 20 primary messages that focused on core values of the public health field and public health activities. Throughout message testing, participants demonstrated an unexpectedly limited or inaccurate understanding of public health, which shaped their reactions to messages. Although participants expressed positive reactions to some aspects of messages that humanize public health professionals, reflect audiences' lived experiences, provide clear and specific examples of public health activities, and highlight public health efforts within a local context, their limited or inaccurate understanding of public health made it difficult to assess message efficacy and resonance. After participants reviewed the messages, researchers observed that participants exhibited negligible shifts in their trust in the public health field and perceptions of its value and still had trouble articulating core public health concepts. Findings reveal substantial information gaps related to public health - that is, what public health is, what public health professionals do, and how it impacts lives and communities - and provide new insights about public health literacy and opportunities for developing effective messaging strategies about the public health field.","PeriodicalId":16026,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Health Communication","volume":"30 sup1","pages":"76-89"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143753020","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recent research has found that both the cognitive and emotional components of replotting serve as mechanisms of narrative persuasion. Building on this work, the current study assessed if people who habitually replot are more persuaded by a tragic story ending than those who do not, testing hypotheses with melanoma narratives. Cognitive and emotional (i.e., anger, anxiety, sadness, and hope) aspects of replotting were tested as mechanisms of this proposed interaction. Participants (N = 432) were randomized into a 2 (protagonist death vs. survival) x 6 (specific melanoma story) between-subjects online narrative message experiment. Participants who habitually replot had significantly higher melanoma prevention intentions after reading a death (compared to a survival) ending. This effect was not present for other participants. However, counter to hypotheses, the cognitive and emotional aspects of actual replotting did not explain the effect, meaning habitual replotters were not more likely to replot the death ending or experience replotting emotion than other participants were. Future research is needed to determine why habitual replotters are more persuaded by unwanted story endings than other audience members are.","PeriodicalId":16026,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Health Communication","volume":" ","pages":"59-67"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11957928/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142644282","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, take-up, adherence or engagement can be hard to assess. Building on previous efforts to create mHealth engagement indices, we developed an engagement metric to measure men's participation in SMS4dads, a message service for men in transition to fatherhood. Data were collected from 3261 fathers in NSW Australia in 2020-2021. An engagement metric was computed as a proportion of interactions across links and texts. Hazard ratios of dropping out were applied as external validity. To further understand men's engagement, we explored characteristics related to engagement in the program. Engagement scores did not significantly differ for rural or urban fathers. Engagement scores differed for Indigenous status, education level, first child status, antenatal enrollment, smoking status, alcohol use, and psychological distress score. The range of Engagement scores suggests that some men respond to few prompts, while others respond to almost all prompts. Understanding characteristics associated with mHealth engagement can improve precision when tailoring interventions to individual needs and vulnerable groups.","PeriodicalId":16026,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Health Communication","volume":" ","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143692417","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study a) compares the impact of narratives designed to speak to two different cultures (i.e. Latindad v. white, Anglo-Saxon culture in the Midwest), and b) examines the potential influence of acculturation on those narrative effects. English-proficient, Latino-identifying adult participants living in the Midwest of the United States (n = 189) were randomly assigned to one of the two narratives about a family's struggles during COVID-19. Participants exposed to the culture-centric narrative found the characters more culturally similar to themselves than those exposed to the white, Anglo-Saxon narrative (t (212) = 3.22, Mean Diff. = .45, SE = .14, p = .001). Some evidence was also found to suggest that acculturation may influence character engagement (F (5, 178) = 2.81, R2 = .10, p = .003). Implications based on these findings may expand the potential application of the CNHP model, as we discuss the heterogeneity of cultural groups and the impact of demographic representation versus the presentation of cultural values like familismo.","PeriodicalId":16026,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Health Communication","volume":" ","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143663671","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
