Abstract:

Report
Executive summary Introduction This review collates and summarises the literature on communication campaign evaluation with relevance to the prevention and control of communicable diseases. The purpose of this review is to contribute to the evidence base on health communication evaluation research in order to aid public health professionals and researchers in the development of future evaluation strategies. The review is divided into two sections. In the first section the focus is on reviewing evaluations of campaigns undertaken in European Union (EU) and European Economic Area (EEA) countries, however, examples from the wider European region are also included. The second section, addressing challenges posed by campaign evaluation, draws on broader international literature pertaining to the identification of health communication campaign evaluation tools, frameworks and models. It would appear that there has been very few high quality European evaluation studies carried o...

Influence agenda setting through Twitter for health promotion (2016)

Albalawi, Yousef

Abstract:

We are in what is known as the new media era, and it impacts all dimensions and aspects of people’s lives. Through advanced technology and the internet, new media continues evolving to change people’s lives so that they rely heavily on it for communication. The revolution of new media through various tools, channels and platforms requires that many of the classic and traditional presuppositions about communication are reviewed and revised. This extends to all domains of life including that of health. The promotion of health using new media lacks the research basis for effective application in practice. The purpose of this study is to explore the ability of traditional communication theories in understanding and using new media for health promotion. It does this in the context of the dissemination of tweets about road traffic accidents in Saudi Arabia. The study utilised an agenda-setting function from communication theory as a general framework through a three-stage research structu...

The Scenario-Oriented Method for Recording and Playing-Back Healthcare Information (2011)

Ding, Yi; Wu, Bing; Zhou, Erqiang; Wu, Jianfeng

Abstract:

This paper proposes a new method, called the scenario-oriented method, to support the idea of recording and replaying the healthcare information such that the reporting and decision-support capabilities can be enhanced. In order to play back the changing history of certain information units, the scenario- oriented method attempts to organize related information and knowledge elements as a context so that the history of real medical activity can be recorded, and then be queried as a continuous, on-the-fly, understandable and playing-back information scenario through replay operations.

Trustworthy health-related tweets on social media in Saudi Arabia: tweet metadata analysis (2019)

Albalawi, Yahya; Nikolov, Nikola S.; Buckley, Jim

Abstract:

Background: Social media platforms play a vital role in the dissemination of health information. However, evidence suggests that a high proportion of Twitter posts (ie, tweets) are not necessarily accurate, and many studies suggest that tweets do not need to be accurate, or at least evidence based, to receive traction. This is a dangerous combination in the sphere of health information. Objective: The first objective of this study is to examine health-related tweets originating from Saudi Arabia in terms of their accuracy. The second objective is to find factors that relate to the accuracy and dissemination of these tweets, thereby enabling the identification of ways to enhance the dissemination of accurate tweets. The initial findings from this study and methodological improvements will then be employed in a larger-scale study that will address these issues in more detail. Methods: A health lexicon was used to extract health-related tweets using the Twitter application programming ...
