Teamwork!

This blog is about our journey to our final health communication plan. Over the last weeks, we have learned a lot about models of behavior change, project goals, outcome objectives, and communication styles. But what I have also learned is that the best part about working on this project is our team. 

 

We all had to find our ways of how to deal with the high demands of creating a whole health communication intervention during a busy semester - without having any experience in the design of such an ambitious project. But what has been extremely helpful for me were the four wonderful people I was grouped with for it. The way our group dynamic evolved was incredible. From careful, maybe even reluctant first conversations over collective frustration to common motivation and full power – we went through it all together. And we made it!

 

It has been a lot of work. But as busy as it was: in every single moment, I was able to rely on my fellow group members. Someone was always one step ahead: contacting interviewees, setting up meetings, working on the slides, creating great videos and images, or sharing new ideas in our group chat. I have learned so much from everyone over the course of this project. It was really inspiring for me to see how my teammates approached the various problems we were confronted with, and to discuss and combine our strategies together. I think that I can say: we have grown, personally and professionally.

 

I am so happy to have been on this journey with these four incredible individuals. We can be truly proud of what we achieved as a group and on how we managed to bring this project to where it is now. 

 

Yours, 

Johanna

Incorporating Pharmacists into the HPVAX Action Plan

    Throughout the course of this project, my group and I have discovered that local pharmacists can play an important role in HPV vaccine uptake among harder to reach community members. Compared to primary care providers, pharmacists tend to be more accessible, have extended hours, and walk-in options. Pharmacies are typically situated more conveniently in communities that major health centers, as well. Additionally, Gov. Hochul recently signed legislation allowing pharmacists to administer HPV vaccines. The combination of these factors widens the opportunity for vaccination uptake among our primary audience: young adult MSM in Harlem.      In the action plan, we honed in on how to best raise awareness among pharmacists about the need for increased vaccination among MSM in Harlem. One tactic we came up with is called "Data Bites: A Lunch & Learn Series." This monthly series will allow local pharmacists and physicians to get to know one another and disc...

Let’s Talk About Sex: Part 2

  When our group had initially discussed our idea for the communications campaign, we wanted to target heterosexual men 18-26 in Harlem to get the HPV vaccine. After doing some research, we saw that there was a high need for specifically the men who have sex with men (MSM) group and so we narrowed our population down. Reflecting back, I am interested how our campaign would’ve differed had our target group been more broadly men 18-26 in Harlem. What would’ve been the key differences in our objectives, strategies and tactics? The research shows that the MSM population is more likely than heterosexual males to not use protection during sex and in turn have a higher STI rate. Interestingly, they are more likely to be trust healthcare professionals and be open to getting the HPV vaccine. Thus, for our campaign we focused heavily on behavioral changes around utilizing safe sex practices and on increasing knowledge and awareness around the risks of HPV and the vaccine.   Given the ...

Let's Talk About Sex

We have now gotten to the action (tactical) plan phase of this project. The action plan is when you get to take all your research, planning and objective and come up with an actionable, feasible and strategic plan for all of the communication messages, materials, activities, channels and so on that you would like to use on the key audiences for your communications program. For our communications program HPVAX we are looking to build awareness and increase the number of men who have sex with men (MSM) in Harlem to get the HPV vaccines and have protected sex to diminish the spread of HPV and oral cancers. One of the key secondary groups we want to target with our program are sexual partners. Sexual partners are such an important group to target for this program as they have such an influence on the primary group- 18–26-year-old MSM in Harlem. Research shows that MSM perceptions of condom use are primarily shaped by social norms and their interactions with sexual partners. If sexual partn...
