Community-Centered Vaccine Communication
This study analyzed COVID-19 vaccine-related web communications from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) to examine how institutional leaders framed vaccination during the pandemic. Findings revealed that HBCU leaders consistently framed vaccination as a collective responsibility, emphasizing the health and safety of their campus communities. Messages highlighted positive community outcomes, such as the resumption of in-person te…
After Action Reviews, Learning Lessons and Post-Crisis Assessment of Crisis and Risk Communication
After-Action Reviews (AARs) have become essential tools for organizational learning and development, particularly in post-crisis contexts such as public health emergencies. This study examines the processes, characteristics, and challenges of AARs, focusing on their application during the COVID-19 pandemic. We conceptualize AARs as communication processes that enact, encode, and disseminate lessons learned, contributing to organizational resilien…

Instructional Health-Risk Communication
This study examined instructional health-risk communication involving the outbreak of e-cigarette or vaping product use-associated lung injury (EVALI). Using the IDEA model, we investigated how U.S. college newspapers communicated health risk messages during the vaping outbreak. Our analysis of 331 news articles showed that college newspapers placed greater emphasis on explanation of the EVALI outbreak than internalization and action messages. Th…
The Effects of Peer Mental Illness Narratives on Reducing Stigma Among U.S. Marginalized College Students
Mental health stigma remains a significant barrier to accessing mental health care and treatment, particularly among racial, ethnic, gender, and LGBTQIA+ underrepresented groups in the United States. This study aimed to investigate the relative persuasiveness of mental health narratives featuring both marginalized and non-marginalized characters in reducing stigma among college students. We conducted an online between-subjects experiment with a s…
Variability in Media Content of Public Health Outbreak Coverage
This study investigated the stage-specific nature of media coverage of a large-scale dengue outbreak in Bangladesh. We employed the three-stage model of crisis communication and the extended parallel process model as an integrated theoretical framework. A content analysis of two years (2019–2020) of media coverage (N = 615) showed that the number of dengue-related threat messages was significantly higher during the precrisis and crisis response s…
Communicating Mental Health Coping Resources Among College Students of Color
The COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately affected African American college students and put them at high risk of mental health concerns. Guided by the community resilience model, this study examined how Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) communicated mental health resources during the COVID-19 pandemic. An analysis of HBCUs’ website-based communication showed that mental health received minimal importance in response to the …
MeToo Academia
An analysis of 201 academic sexual misconduct cases between 2017 and 2019 in which a United States university employee was named as alleged perpetrator showed that 80% were publicly broken by a legacy journalistic news outlet. The analysis demonstrates that journalism, especially local and student journalism, remains a successful method for exposing sexual misconduct of university employees. In 97 cases, news stories did not mention the #MeToo mo…

A thematic analysis of public tweets explored how social media mourners expressed parasocial grieving following Hawking's death and how that shaped mediatized global flows of emotion in terms of digital affect culture. Findings showed varied forms of mediatized emotional responses ass…
