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}

An online survey was conducted among 325 adults in China. The results showed that family conversation orientation was positively related to family health history (FHH) communication intentions, whereas family conformity orientation was negatively related to FHH communication intentions. Family conversation orientation was positively related to self and surrogate OHIS through the partial and masking mediation effects of FHH communication intentions, respectively. Family conformity orientation was negatively related to self OHIS through the full mediating effect of FHH communication intentions, while FHH communication intentions played a masking mediating role between conformity orientation and surrogate OHIS. Implications for extending family communication patterns research to health communication and cultural forces on OHIS are discussed.","PeriodicalId":16026,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Health Communication","volume":" ","pages":"72-81"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142971167","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}

News media are important sources of information during global disease outbreaks, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Drawing on theories of fear appeals and the social ecological model, we conducted multilevel modeling analyses to examine how media-level and community-level factors influenced the public's risk perceptions of COVID-19 and frequencies of preventive behaviors in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and India. We combined a large-scale multi-wave cross-country survey (N = 161,374) with a COVID-19 media coverage archive (N = 10,015,187) to test these relationships. We found that fear in media headlines was positively correlated with people's perceptions of risk but negatively correlated with frequencies of preventive behaviors, controlling for individual-, community-, and cultural-level factors. Similar patterns were consistently identified within each individual country. We also show that community factors interacted with the media environment to influence public risk perceptions and behaviors. Our findings highlight a strong mass media influence during the pandemic, and we discuss the implications of our findings for health communication during crisis times.","PeriodicalId":16026,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Health Communication","volume":" ","pages":"29-39"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142846885","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}

An explorative and descriptive cross-sectional study using online surveys was conducted to assess whether users perceived a change in factors contributing to SDM after using the service. Of 253 invited MCN users, 109 (43.1%) filled out the survey (64.2% patients and 35.8% caregivers). Most participants experienced a positive change in their emotional well-being (72.5%) and knowledge level (86.3%). The majority (68.5%) of patients reported being able to cope better with their disease while 76.4% of caregivers felt more able to support the patient throughout the disease process. Discussing treatment preferences and making decisions with health-care professionals (HCPs) became easier for 48.5% and 44.0% of patients, respectively. Of all participants, 52.0% reported a change in disease management. These findings suggest that most participants perceived MCN as impactful. The service facilitated the implementation of SDM from the patient perspective by improving communication with HCPs, increasing knowledge level, improving emotional well-being, and helping them cope better with the disease. Further research should explore how this type of service can be integrated in the care pathway.","PeriodicalId":16026,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Health Communication","volume":" ","pages":"82-92"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143006248","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}
