Designing binge-drinking prevention campaigns that target Hispanic/Latino college students
Among U.S. college students, alcohol abuse, including binge-drinking, is an increasingly serious and pervasive problem. Student alcohol abuse can lead to societal and individual impacts, including “increasing rates of driving under the influence, unintentional injuries, and deaths, and a host of other social, psychological, and physiological problems”. Discovering particular characteristics and patterns of communication during the college/univers…
Binge-Drinking Attitudes and Behaviors Among Hispanic and Non-Hispanic College Students
This study explores binge-drinking behaviors and attitudes among Hispanic and non-Hispanic college students. The authors surveyed students at the same large Hispanic-serving university used in a 1999 study by Bennett et al., partially replicating that earlier research. While the percentage of students who reported binge drinking in the present study did not differ significantly by ethnicity, Hispanic students showed the most dramatic decrease in …
Influencing Healthcare Policy
An internet survey and follow-up mail survey were conducted in order to (a) determine New Mexico state legislators’ preferred sources for information when making decisions about healthcare policies and to (b) assess the state legislators’ attitudes toward e-mail more generally. Legislators were found to privilege expert colleagues and constituents over mass media as healthcare policy information sources; additionally, face-to-face encounters with…
Translating Technology, Science and Health
PIOs (PIOs) link transfer of technology/science/health knowledge between researchers and journalists. PIOs’ orientation toward acquiring technology/science/health knowledge is important to PIOs’ choices of education, training, and occupational experience. The purpose of this study was (1) to conceptualize a way to measure such orientation, using descriptive data from an Internet survey of a random sample of PIOs to construct an exploratory scale …
Influencing Policy Decisions
This study sought to identify strategies to improve public relations efforts to influence policy by discovering U.S. legislators‘ attitudes toward healthcare policy and the impact of legislator characteristics on such attitudes. Analysis of results from an Internet/mail survey indicated statistically significant differences among respondents‘ attitudes based on gender, ethnicity, and political party affiliation (ANOVA). Such differences, however,…
The Communicative Action of Journalists and Public Information Officers
Public information officers (PIOs) represent a type of communications professional distinct from public relations practitioners (PRPs). From a structural functionalist viewpoint, journalists and PIOs share goals: both see themselves as facilitating the information flow into the public sphere. Habermas' communicative action models defining journalists as committed to revealing the "whole truth" to the public, but PRPs as enmeshed in advocating pri…
From Herbert Morrison to Command and Control
For more than fifty years English local government has come under sustained attack from governments of every political complexion. Such attacks began most importantly with Clem Attlee. They were pursued vigorously with different means under Margaret Thatcher. And they continue as a result of policy confusion under Tony Blair. There is now an urgent need for debate about the role of local government in England's democratic arrangements. Without it…
