Pro-Vaxxers Get Out
Social media has revolutionized health information-seeking behavior with crowd-based medical advice. Decreased vaccination uptake and subsequent disease outbreaks have generally occurred in localized clusters based on social norms; however, geographically unrestricted Facebook networks promote parental vaccination refusal congruent with digital identity formation. Interactions within the largest closed Facebook group for vaccination choice were a…
DTC genetic testing companies fail transparency prescriptions
In 2007, the American Society of Human Genetics issued recommendations for what the new and largely self-regulating industry offering genetic tests directly to consumers should disclose to potential customers. Websites for every DTC company offering health-related genetic tests as identified by a public policy group were evaluated for compliance with those transparency recommendations. The results showed that only six of the 25 companies studied …
Attracting Teen Surfers to Science Web Sites
Attracting teens to science Web sites can be difficult because teens spend less time online than other groups and because teens most frequently use the Internet for social and entertainment gratifications. Two studies sought to increase understanding about how to attract teens to science Web sites. The first study was a content analysis of state-of-the-art science Web sites and popular non-science teen Web sites. The second study used teen focus …
Cultivating the Science Internet Audience
This two-part study examines factors that can influence the perceived credibility of a science Web site. In the first part, respondents answered questions about their perceptions of science sites with the .com and .gov domain. Findings suggest that sites with a .gov domain are perceived to be more credible. Part 2 is an experiment in which respondents read a short science article from a site. Participants were randomly assigned to experimental co…
Advancing Science Communication
Scholars of science communication have identified many issues that may help to explain why science communication is not as “effective” as it could be. This article presents results from an exploratory study that consisted of an open-ended survey of science writers, editors, and science communication researchers. Results suggest that practitioners share many issues of concern to scholars. Implications are that a clear agenda for science communicat…
Finding Health and Aids Information in The Mass Media
Western health officials believe the incidence of HIV infection in the People's Republic of China is much higher than has been reported, but knowledge about the disease remains low. This paper describes a preliminary study of Chinese college students' AIDS knowledge and beliefs and of the acceptability of mass media for AIDS education. Focus group interviews of 73 Xiamen University students showed that the students used radio more consistently th…
