Can behavioural science-led communications help drive better health outcomes? In our latest article we take a look at behavioural science theory: why it’s important for the adoption of new medicines, and how we’ve already been using it to help shape healthcare communications (but we’re planning to go much, much further). Read on to find out more. https://lnkd.in/eX6zyZCi

Two steps forward, 4 steps back.
Check out our latest blog on the major setback for health communication. Despite the dangers mis- and dis-information present to public health and cross-sector efforts underway to try and mitigate their impact, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) decided to pause a $154 million research program that included the development, testing, and sharing of new approaches for effective and equitable health communication. Hear from our president on what we must do to rebuild our nation’s trust in science and public health.

Special issue on “Digital Health Technologies in Asia” at the Asian Journal of Communication I am excited to announce that I am serving as a guest editor for a forthcoming special issue entitled “Digital Health Technologies in Asia” for the Asian Journal of Communication. This special issue will focus on both theoretical and methodological approaches in exploring how emerging digital health technologies are reshaping the role of communication within the Asian context, and the impact they have on population health. The growth of Asia's health tech industry makes this special issue crucial for gathering research on Asian perspectives in digital health communication, examining cultural interactions with these technologies, and their impact on public health. Contributors who are keen are invited to submit a 500-word abstract by 15th June 2024, to sci-ajc@ntu.edu.sg with the subject line: AJC Special Issue. If shortlisted, contributors will be invited to submit their full-length manuscript (prepared in accordance with AJC author guidelines) by 15th February 2025 via the journal website. Please see the call for papers here at the Asian Journal of Communication for more details: https://lnkd.in/dpWRmnHM

Our new publication... In this paper, we investigate how concepts of culture and context feature in design and development processes, including the methods, models, and content of these interventions, with the aim of helping researchers to make informed decisions about how to approach cultural adaptation in digital health.

Really useful guidelines outlined here.
I am working with some researchers to communicate a complicated health research study and I found myself re-reading a brilliant Nature Comment piece about communicating evidence by David Speigelhalter, Theresa Marteau and others. I think the mantra of "inform not persuade" is as true for health comms people as for researchers. Where we add value is not in spinning findings, but in helping researchers to use language that is clear, to the point and accessible and also to give scientists and institutes the confidence to be open about any uncertainty and limitations of research. I wanted to share the Nature Comment here because it is worth reading for anyone working in health or science comms. Their Quick Tips for Communicating evidence include: • Address all the questions and concerns of the target audience. • Anticipate misunderstandings; pre-emptively debunk or explain them. • Don’t cherry-pick findings. • Present potential benefits and possible harms in the same way so that they can be compared fairly. • Avoid the biases inherent in any presentation format (for example, use both ‘positive’ and ‘negative’ framing together). • Use numbers alone, or both words and numbers. • Demonstrate ‘unapologetic uncertainty’: be open about a range of possible outcomes. • Highlight the quality and relevance of the underlying evidence (for example, describe the data set). • Use a carefully designed layout in a clear order, and include sources.

One week left to apply to the workshop on digitalization in health care!
Empowering Health Through Data: Bridging Economics and Digital Solutions for Human-Centric Wellbeing
Digitalization is transforming health care and economists are lining up to contribute research on new markets, business models, evaluation methods and challenges and opportunities for patients, businesses and societies. There is however not really plattform to share and discuss Applied Economics in Digital Health - so Ariel Dora Stern, Hannes Ullrich and I teamed up to organize the first workshop on the topic. We are looking for cool research to discuss 6/7 June 2024 in Potsdam (close to Berlin). Submit your paper until 15 March 2024! Come for the research, stay for the Stand-Up-Paddling! More info here: https://lnkd.in/ehenX8q2
