HIV Testing Among Young People Aged 16–24 in South Africa
The effect of a joint communication campaign on multiple sex partners in Mozambique
Mozambique is one of the countries in sub-Saharan Africa most affected by the HIV epidemic. Multiple and concurrent sexual partnerships (MSP/CP) have been recognized as one of the key drivers in the rapid spread of HIV in the region. Though HIV prevention programs have been successful in increasing condom use and HIV testing, reducing the practice of MSP/CP has been more difficult. Grounding their interventions in social and behavior change theor…
Impacts of four communication programs on HIV testing behavior in South Africa
This paper aims to evaluate the impacts of four communication programs on promoting HIV testing behavior among sexually active individuals in South Africa. The four programs, implemented by Johns Hopkins Health and Education in South Africa, are aimed to promote HIV prevention behaviors, as well as gender-based violence prevention, tuberculosis screening and treatment, and reduction of alcohol consumption. Launched between 2009 and 2010, they all…
New Methods for Estimating the Impact of Health Communication Programs
This paper demonstrates four analytical methods for evaluating the impact of full-coverage communication programs with cross-sectional survey data: propensity score matching (PSM), sensitivity analysis, biprobit regression, and triprobit regression. PSM adjusts for measured covariates and assumes that unmeasured covariates can be ignored; sensitivity analysis helps to test the validity of the assumption that unmeasured covariates are ignorable. B…
From Innovation to Social Norm
CORRECTION: Every innovation begins as a deviation from existing social norms. Given the strong effect of social norms and pressure, how can any innovation ever diffuse to the point where it becomes a new social norm? The seeming paradox of how a minority can influence the majority has not been explained well by prevailing social science theory. Computer simulations of the diffusion of a new behavior within the social network of a Bangladesh vill…
Drama, Emotion, and Cultural Convergence
This article derives a set of hypotheses to explain how drama can affect the behavior of the audience. First, theories of drama explain how to create a drama that involves the audience. Second, drama theory explains how confrontation leads to emotional response, cognitive reorientation, and character change within a drama, both fictional and real. A convergence theory of communication predicts that audience members who perceive the change in char…
Social networks, ideation, and contraceptive behavior in Bangladesh
Changing Men's Attitudes and Behavior
A multimedia communication campaign was conducted between 1988 and 1989 to promote family planning among men in Zimbabwe. The campaign consisted of a 52-episode semiweekly radio soap opera, about 60 motivational talks, and two pamphlets about contraceptive methods. Changes over time were measured by comparing a subset of a follow-up survey conducted from October to December 1989 to a baseline survey conducted from April to June 1988. Men exposed …
Mass Media Family Planning Promotion in Three Nigerian Cities
Television promotion of family planning and clinic sites in three cities of Nigeria--Ilorin, Ibadan, and Enugu--played a significant role in 1985-88 in increasing the number of new acceptors at family planning clinics in each city. Family planning skits, prepared with advice and support from the local service providers, were included in existing popular entertainment shows. Questions asked in a recall survey among the exposed population in Enugu …
How Should Vasectomy be Promoted in Guatemala
In the article "Evaluation of a Communications Program to Increase Adoption of Vasectomy in Guatemala" by J.T. Bertrand et al (Stud Fam Plann 1987 Nov/Dec), the authors conclude that the use of a male promoter alone was 4 times more cost-effective in increasing the number of vasectomies than the use of radio alone because the costs of the radio program were 4 times higher. This conclusion is questionable for several reasons. 1) The district where…

A Comparative Study of Korean, Filipino and Samoan Immigrants to Hawaii
Hawaii, as a destination for foreign immigrants and internal migrants, is a place of rather mixed blessings. The physical environment is unsurpassed; it is one of the most beautiful spots on the globe. It has a climate that is especially attractive to those coming from other Pacific Islands such as Samoa and the Philippines. It has a relatively good reputation for its social environment, and for its tolerance for ethnic differences and multiple l…
The cultural convergence of Korean immigrants in Hawaii
Communication Networks
The purpose of this book is to present what is currently known about communication networks and to illustrate methods of network analysis. The 1st chapter describes a communication network in a small village of Korea Oryu Li in which basic principles are applied to collectively make decisions about family planning. The following chapter discusses the convergence model of communication and network analysis in regard to its theoretical roots its co…

The Korean Mothers' Club Program
Koreas experience with the Mothers Club program is reported. In 1968 the Planned Parenthood Federation of Korea began turning village womens groups into official family planning Mothers Clubs. The main strategy was to accelerate communication about family planning at the village level and legitimize family planning practice among rural women. In 1973 a national survey sampled 450 Mothers Club leaders. The total number of women interviewed was 101…
