Neighborhood Socioeconomic Status and Diverse Health-related Outcomes among American Indian and Alaska Native Peoples during the Covid-19 Pandemic
Who shares about AI? Media exposure, psychological proximity, performance expectancy, and information sharing about artificial intelligence online
Addressing the knowledge and recruitment gap in Alzheimer's disease and precision medicine research among Native people
This study will inform future recruitment efforts for ADRD-focused clinical trials. Enrollment of AI/AN participants in an Alzheimer's Disease-Precision Medicine (AD-PM) Registry will provide opportunity for future research on this topic in partnership with this population
Social Media Use among American Indian and Alaska Native People
Patients, health professionals, and communities use social media to communicate information about health determinants and associated risk factors. Studies have highlighted the potential for social media to reach underserved populations, suggesting these platforms can be used to disseminate health information tailored for diverse and hard-to-reach populations. Little is known, however, about the use of social media among American Indian and Alaska…
Communication and Perspectives About Covid-19 and Vaccinations Among Native Americans
The COVID-19 pandemic disproportionately affected Native American people and communities across the United States. Despite unequal losses during the pandemic, Native Americans have high vaccination rates. We provide insight into perspectives of COVID-19 and vaccinations through in-depth interviews with Native Americans. Through this research, we provide a holistic view of how Native Americans perceive vaccines by pairing Indigenous perspectives o…
The Indirect Effects of Episodic-Thematic Framing on Information Sharing About the Economic Threat of Artificial Intelligence
Developing artificial intelligence (AI) equitably necessitates understanding how nonexperts conceptualize and share news about technoscientific risk. We examine a model predicting AI information sharing online from an interaction of framing strategies, through psychological proximity to the impacts of AI and perceived AI risk. A panel of N = 412 participants were exposed to either a control message; or one of four manipulated messages related to …
Towards a participatory approach to risk communication
Indigenous populations residing in the Arctic commonly rely on country foods for nutritional, spiritual and cultural benefits. However, some food sources have become contaminated with heavy metals or persistent organic pollutants. As a result of these contaminants, it is critical that risk communicators develop effective and culturally appropriate health messages about the risks and benefits of eating country foods. To address this challenge in t…
Factors That Influence Risk Perceptions and Successful Covid-19 Vaccination Communication Campaigns With American Indians
COVID-19 vaccinations are the primary tool to end the pandemic. However, vaccine hesitancy continues to be a barrier to herd-immunity in the United States. American Indians (AI) often have higher levels of distrust in western medicine and lower levels of satisfaction with health care when compared to non-Hispanic Whites. Yet AIs have high COVID-19 vaccination rates. We discuss factors that influence AI risk perceptions of COVID-19 vaccinations in…
Understanding public support for smart meters
Public opinion on critical issues, such as technology deployment aimed at reducing greenhouse gases or increasing energy efficiency, may be impacted through information disseminated through the media. It is therefore increasingly important to understand the role media plays in spreading misinformation to the public. Through this study, we add to the growing body of literature on misinformation by exploring the relationship between media attention…
Media Representations of Water Issues as Health Risks
Water is a critical natural resource for sustaining human life. Media representations are a factor in the formation of public risk perceptions and could influence water conservation and health promotion behaviors. The objective of this research is to identify how newspaper media in four Western U.S. states frame the public health risks associated with water resources. Researchers conducted a content analysis of 326 newspaper articles from eight m…
The social dimensions of smart meters in the United States
Exploring the role of trust in health risk communication in Nunavik, Canada
Communicating about health risks in the Arctic can be challenging. Numerous factors can hinder or promote effective communication. One of the most important components in effective communication is trust in an information source. This is particularly true when a risk is unfamiliar or complex because the public must rely on expert assessment rather than personal evaluation of the risk. A total of 112 Inuit residents from Nunavik, Canada, were inte…
Climate Change, Energy Developments and Perceptions of Place
It is important to understand public perceptions of energy systems, particularly those located in rural areas where energy technology is likely to be situated. The general public can sometimes influence the deployment of energy systems through their opposition to, or support for, such development. This paper examines perceptions of energy systems and climate change in relation to public perspectives of "place" (i.e., relationships with the area a…
Examining Community Perceptions of Energy Systems Development
An increasing demand for the development and implementation of low carbon energy systems has furthered the need to understand the factors that influence a community's support for or opposition to local energy developments. Carbon dioxide capture and geological storage (CCS) is one such energy system where it is widely acknowledged that public perceptions and acceptance of CCS technologies are critical to their implementation. CCS refers to the ca…
Re-conceptualizing community in risk research
Community is an important concept for determining the factors that influence peoples’ perceptions of and actions surrounding risk. However, there are multiple and conflicting definitions for the concept of community and scholars operationalize it in various ways. In this paper, we argue for a renewed focus on community as a guiding consideration in discussions of risk management and the related concepts of resilience, vulnerability, and adaptive …
Gendered citizenship and the individualization of environmental responsibility
Campus common reading programs are intended to stimulate critical thinking and dialogue across disciplines yet scarce evidence exists to evaluate the success of such programs. We assess the extent to which engagement in an environmentally-themed common reading program is related to (1) concern for waste-related issues, (2) beliefs that addressing waste is an individual responsibility, and (3) individual behaviors intended to reduce personal waste…
Conflicted or constructive? Exploring community responses to new energy developments in Canada
Front page or “buried” beneath the fold? Media coverage of carbon capture and storage
Media can affect public views and opinions on science, policy and risk issues. This is especially true of a controversial emerging technology that is relatively unknown. The study presented here employs a media content analysis of carbon capture and storage (CCS), one potential strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The authors analyzed all mentions of CCS in two leading Canadian national newspapers and two major western regional newspapers…
Wildfire evacuation and its alternatives in a post-Black Saturday landscape
Prior to 2009 the United States and Australia were seeing increased interest, implementation and research support for alternatives to evacuation during wildfire – a broad class of strategies that would enable residents to remain in their homes or other designated safe areas during the pass of a flame front. Yet policy discussion of alternatives to evacuation in both countries shifted in the wake of Australia's 2009 Black Saturday Fires, which res…
Did public risk perspectives of mad cow disease reflect media representations and actual outcomes
The first confirmed Canadian case of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) was reported to the general public on 20 May 2003 and received considerable media coverage. A random‐digit dialled telephone survey of 1207 people in Alberta, Canada, was conducted in spring 2007 to better understand public perspectives on the resulting economic concerns and effects on farming. Comparisons to other risk events and concerns about the overall risk were also…
Do the first 10 days equal a year? Comparing two Canadian public health risk events using the national media
It has been suggested that the way in which a risk event is presented within the first 10 days of media coverage provides the major frames that will dominate news media presentations of any new information about the event over time. A media content analysis for two prominent Canadian health risk events (the E. coli water contamination event in Walkerton, Ontario, in 2000 and the discovery of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy or Mad Cow Disease in …
Gender and place influences on health risk perspectives in northern Canadian Aboriginal communities
Developing a better understanding of the factors underlying health and environmental risk perspectives has been the focus of significant research in recent years. Although many previous studies have shown that perspectives of risk are often associated with gender, sociocultural variables and place, our understanding of the relationship between these factors and risk remains equivocal. A research study was undertaken to develop better insights int…
