Message and Materials Audit Findings
• 95 online materials from government agencies (69), non-profits (14), research organizations (6), and others (6)
• More likely to be general (54) than culturally tailored (41)
–30 non-English (usually Spanish)
• 283 core messages
–Most focused on COVID-19 testing (222) instead of what to do if tested posted or experiencing symptoms (47) and COVID-19 vaccine (14)
–Most imparted knowledge (111) rather than addressed perceived self-efficacy/barriers (78), cues to action (65), perceived susceptibility (14), perceived benefits (10), and perceived severity (5)
Content Analysis: Select Results
• A total of 4,977 eligible news stories were identified on COVID-19 testing and 4,970 on the COVID-19 vaccines in general
– February to December 2020 across all audiences.
– A total of 231 articles were analyzed
– The majority (164) of stories appeared online, followed by on television (34), in a newspaper (23), and on the radio (10).
• More than half the stories (131) focused on the general public as opposed to specific NCRN’s identified priority communities.
– Ethnic-specific media outlets did not explicitly focus most of their news stories on the NCRN priority communities.
• Of the 461 key messages found in news stories
– 97 focused on perceived barriers/self-efficacy for getting the COVID-19 test or vaccine
• Only 29 articles had a call-to-action
– COVID-19 test (11)
– getting the vaccine (4)
Literature Review
• Hispanic/Latino/Latinx (COVID-19 Testing)
–More likely to be essential workers, with limited time to devote to testing.
–(May 2020) Less likely to be tested, to physically distance from people outside of their household, or be willing to install a tracking device for contact tracing.
–Barriers - concerns about immigration status, wanting to lessen health system contact, medical racism, and lack of transportation options.
–Facilitators - include explicit healthcare provider recommendation, credible counseling from trusted sources and clear materials.
Farm/field & meatpacking workers – (COVID-19 Testing)
• Less likely to access testing services, practice social distancing, wear face coverings.
• Survey found “good level of knowledge” but perceived lower risks
• Barriers - lack of access to insurance, perceived low susceptibility, long and nonflexiblework hours, concern quarantine or positive test prevents work/earning income
• Facilitators - access to testing services at worksite, flexible working hours
• Interventions need to address living, working and transportation conditions.
Alaskan Native/American Indian – (COVID-19 TESTING)
• No published, peer-reviewed research on knowledge and perception of COVID-19 testing or tracing among American
Indian or Alaskan Native populations in the United States.
• Ongoing research by CDC, Washington State University, and the University of Alaska.
o The Johns Hopkins Center for American Indian Health (CAIH) is currently undertaking a Rapid Acceleration ofDiagnostics (RADx) program for Navajo Nation and White Mountain Apache tribes, by increasing testing capability,contact tracing, quick turnaround home-testing, etc.
o The Cherokee National Health Services (CNHS) and Indian Health Service are increasing testing capacities and access totesting for their communities
• More likely to have some misperceptions of vaccines as curative, as opposed to preventive(among those surveyed).
• Less likely to receive an influenza vaccination and report less awareness of itsrecommendation and benefits (among those surveyed.)
• Facilitators - Healthcare provider recommendation, previous uptake of other vaccines, accessto insurance, higher levels of perceived likelihood and severity of future COVID-19 infection, orperceived effectiveness of the vaccine.
• Barriers - Feelings of discrimination, concerns of safety and side effects, lack of healthinsurance, general distrust in the medical care system, language barriers, and lack of culturallycompetent care.
Hispanic/Latino/Latinx – (Vaccine Acceptance) Precedents
• Good knowledge on influenza virus modes of transmission, risk and benefits, but alimited knowledge on prevention measures (among those surveyed).
• Facilitators – being infected or witnessing a diagnosed patient, access to vaccinationat the worksite, providers recommendation, tailored, targeted and bilingual publichealth messaging, trusted sources of information.
• For migrant and cross borders transient population, providing seasonal influenzavaccination at transit points, immigration facilities, transportation venues, crossborders towns increases vaccine uptake.
• Barriers - Fear, concerns about safety, low perceived risk of the H1N1 influenza,mistrust of government, inconsistent information, providers discouragement, lack ofvaccine recommendations, working conditions, lack of vaccine on worksite, fatalisticbeliefs.
Farm/field & meatpacking workers – (COVID-19 Vaccine
Acceptance) Precedents
• Barriers to vaccine uptake include concerns about side effects, distrusted in vaccines.
• Factors facilitating pneumococcal vaccination uptake among Navajo adults 65 + include the existence of comorbidities (diabetes, cardiac and lung diseases.
Alaskan Native/American Indian – (COVID-19 Vaccine
Acceptance)
• Uncomfortable with receiving a vaccines if they had underlying distrust of the government, distrust of the pharmaceutical companies, skepticism of the vaccine development process, and vaccine safety.
• Vaccine intention/acceptance increased if persons believed that the vaccine could prevent disease and had few manageable (or none) side effects.
• Mostly compliant with preventive health behaviors related to personal hygiene and avoiding a sick person less compliant with social distancing behaviors and healthcare-related behaviors (getting care, vaccination).
Black/African Americans
• In medically underserved areas, having access to routine medical care, vaccines in nontraditionalvenues and having a clear understanding the medical implications of untreated influenzaenhanced vaccine uptake.
• Healthcare providers recommendations were associated with higher vaccine uptake.
• Less likely to have positive perceptions of vaccines and vaccine uptake when there arediscrepancies between “official” messaging and local/community messaging.
Blacks/African Americans
• HBV vaccine uptake among was associated with misinformation on how HBV wascontracted.
• Lack of Medicare coverage was associated with lower HBV vaccine uptake.
• Trusted sources of information for HBV vaccination included physicians/healthcare providers, pharmacists, family members, and community functions or health fairs
• Information received from friends was related to increased HBV screening andtesting for those who had been informed that they should be screened/tested.
Pacific Islanders
• Women housed in jails expressed concern about the age cut-off for HPV vaccine. They felt thereshould be not be an age limit.
• Having the HPV vaccine available at no cost was important to men housed in jail.
• If more than one dose of a vaccine was required, incarceration could be a barrier if the first dosewas started when they were not incarcerated.
• Both men and women experiencing incarceration were knowledgeable of the HPV vaccine, butvaccine uptake was low, even for those at risk.

Community Based Prevention Marketing (CBPM)
─ Main ingredient of CBPM is Social Marketing
─ Social marketing is an approach to behavior change that uses traditional marketing
tools to promote sustainable and positive social change.
─ CBPM steps include:
• Situational Analysis – review of existing communication materials and literature
• Selection of a behavioral focus and priority population
• Formative research with priority population to better understand knowledge,
attitude, beliefs and behavior.
• Development of social marketing plan and communication messages
• Pretesting materials using neuromarketing and traditional qualitative tools.
• Implementation and evaluation
Human-centered
Research-guided
Marketing techniques
Social good
Community Based Prevention Marketing (CBPM)
─ Key Insights from Cohort 1─ Lack of confidence/trust in vaccine development ─ Lack of understanding related to why vaccine is needed and the
behaviors after vaccine has been given. ─ Mistrust of medical system/pharmaceutical. Another layer
related to mistrust due to immigrant or racial/ethnic status.─ Mistrust of government. Vaccine development to fast,
administration push the vaccine due to political gain.─ Language –availability in Spanish and other languages
Focus Groups
• 2 virtual focus groups were conducted per priority population• Each group had up to 9 participants
• Each focus group session lasted 1.5 hours• Conducted in English and Spanish, and other languages if
needed• Focus groups began in February and are ongoing• Community partners were trained to assist with recruiting• Complete a virtual training to recruit community
members for focus groups• Learn how to recruit using virtual methods
• Provide insights and feedback to support communication program planning
Focus Groups: African American Audience Results
• COVID-19 Testing• Lack of internal cues to action
• “My job requires us to have it before we go to work, so that's why I took the test. Otherwise, I
would have not taken it.” • “I had to visit my Grandfather. He's a little bit up there in age, and, around Christmas time, we
always go every year to Mississippi. And I wanted to make sure that I didn't bring that [COVID-19] to him, so I had to get tested.”
• Low perceived susceptibility• “I live alone and I'm pretty much a hermit anyway. So, I'm not exposed to a lot of people like I used
to be, so that was one reason I didn't get tested.” • “I just keep the same routine that I have for caution, so I do wear my mask. I take vitamins and
exercise as much as possible, so I don't try to put myself in the situation where I can get sick.”
• High perceived barriers and low perceived self-efficacy• “Although there's a lot of access points, just my two times the lines were over two hours, maybe
even a little bit longer, and my people ain't waiting that long.” • “I don't want that thing jammed up my nostrils, put up my nose 'cause my girlfriend had that [test]
done I think two or three times. I just don't want it done.”
Focus Groups: African American Audience Results
• COVID-19 Vaccine• Distrust in institutions and science
• “I really don't trust the government. You know the vaccine was produced too quickly. You know once again, we had somebody pushing it and making sure it was produced. So, nothing’s gonna fully make me trust it.”
• “I'm not 100% against the vaccine. I just, I'm not trying to be the trial, you know. Like trying not to be like the first group.”
• Negative outcome expectations• “This vaccine has not been carefully researched to know the long-term effects. It’s just
that things are always changing. I want to wait it out to know what the long-term effects are.”
• “Every person is different. Everybody's DNA is different, so you don't know what's gonnahappen to you. So, the people that are not taking it are being you know cautious.”
• Low perceived effectiveness• “I'm 71 years old, and I'm scared to death. I don't wanna get sick. I want to be around
as long as I can, but are these vaccines really going to do the job? Let's put it that way.”• “My question is if we get this vaccine and we still have to wear the mask and do all this
other stuff, what is the purpose of the vaccine, right?”
Focus Groups: General Hispanic Audience Results
• COVID-19 Testing• Low perceived barriers and high perceived self-efficacy
• “I would get it. Maybe I would worry if I was charged for it and I didn’t need it. But the government offers it for free and it’s the best. The test is very easy.”
• “In most places where someone wants to go get a test, you have to make an appointment, but the problem is that appointments are through the computer so that's a problem for older people, many people who are 65 years or older, do not know how to use it for computer or do not have internet.”
• Low perceived susceptibility• “I haven't taken the test, because like I said, there's no one near me who thank God
had symptoms or had the test and realized they were positive”. • Lack of internal cues to action
• “At work, in one department, they didn’t tell us who it was, but all of a sudden they closed the office and said that there was a case. Then we all had to go get the test and [they told us] that we couldn’t go back until we had a negative test result.”
• “For me, my mom, she doesn’t go anywhere so I had to get tested before going to her house.”
Focus Groups: General Hispanic Audience Results
• COVID-19 Vaccine• Negative outcome expectations
• “I’d like to wait a bit more for later in the future in any case getting it. But I’ve decided not to get it because there are a lot of unknowns still of what could happen or what the vaccine could cause in the future.”
• “They mentioned that the FDA hasn’t approved it yet and I have seen the consent of the places that have given the vaccine. And they have a consent that says that they are not responsible for people who get the vaccine”.
• Mix of trust and distrust in science• “I had heard that the Pfizer one is the best [vaccines]. I think if I had an option, it would be the one I’d
prefer, Pfizer... I think it’s more trustworthy.” • “But, well, I think that I need a bit more for more time to pass because, yeah, they rushed a lot to
release it.”
• Mix of perceptions about effectiveness• “Since this is something new, a lot is not known about the coronavirus. Now they are saying that
there are new strains. There are a lot of things, many factors that are changing that maybe influence the vaccine, therefore, maybe what they are giving now will not work for what changes in COVID in the future.”
• “Many people have already been vaccinated, millions of people have been vaccinated, the number of deaths has been minimal. I think that right there shows that the vaccine works and that it is a positive thing for humanity.”
Key Informant Interviews
• NCRN Partners will participate in virtual video chat interviews
• 45 total interviews to be conducted, 5 for each audience
• Each interview will last 1 hour • Conducted in English and Spanish, and other
languages, if needed• Interviews began in March and are ongoing• Provide insights and feedback to support
communication program planning
Pretesting Material - Neuromarketing─ Neuro-marketing is using facial expressions – sometimes called micro expressions—eye
tracking (measuring exactly where you are looking and for how long), the sweat on our
hands, heart rate, and other involuntary reactions to judge how a person responds to a
stimulus such as a commercial, poster or movie scene.
─ Why we are using neuromarketing – to pre-test materials and messages related to COVID-
19 with community representatives to ensure that materials are clear, attractive,
persuasive, and not offensive in any way.
─ Partner organizations will…
• Assist in preparing or reviewing the instructions to participants.
• Participate in a preview of the study (10 members) to make sure all instructions and
materials are clear and being delivered correctly.
• Recruit participants to do the test
─ University of South Florida will provide technical assistance.

• Worked with a group of 16 elderly individuals,
who were partnered with AARP, to create a
COVID-19 focus group.
• The project lasted 6 weeks and consisted of
weekly meetings through Zoom, where
presentations about all aspects of COVID-19
were given.
• We focused on gauging the knowledge the
participants already had and adding to it.
• Gave a Pre- and Post-Assessment about their
general knowledge about COVID-19.
• Gave an Environmental Health and Behavior
Survey to assess if their environment and
behavior affects their likelihood of contracting
COVID-19.
Project Weekly Schedule
Week 1
- Introduction and Pre-Assessment Survey
Week 2
- COVID-19 Preventive Measures
Week 3
- What to do when infected with COVID-19
Week 4
- Staying connected during COVID-19 quarantine
Week 5
- Staying well during COVID-19 quarantine
Week 6
- COVID-19 vaccination, Post-Assessment Survey
and Environmental Health and Behavior Survey
From the Pre-Assessment findings:
➢Most participants had some knowledge about COVID-
19 and its pathology.
➢Most participants did not know the difference between
quarantine and isolation.
➢Not all participants knew which demographic was
most affected by COVID-19.
From the Post-Assessment findings:
• There was an increase in their knowledge about
COVID-19 and its pathology.
• Most participants correctly identified the difference
between quarantine and isolation.
• All participants correctly identified which
demographic was most affected by COVID-19.
Environmental Health and Behavior Survey
This survey included a broader participant pool of 60
participants from AARP, which allowed us to gathered
enough data to make valid conclusions.
Responses for the survey were gathered in English and
Spanish.
Have you or someone you are close to contracted
COVID-19?
• Increase in knowledge by participants about
COVID-19 and its pathology,
• Increased knowledge about the importance of
receiving the COVID-19 vaccine.
• Most participants increased their general
knowledge about COVID-19
• Ability to differentiate between quarantine
and isolation
• Improved knowledge about the demographic
most affected by the disease.
• Increased ability to make own informed
decisions about getting the vaccine.
• The other main significance of the project was
to determine the relationship between
participants’ behavior and their likelihood of
contracting COVID-19. The survey answers
obtained from the Environmental Health and
Behavior survey demonstrated that there is a
slight connection between how many times
participants left their homes and their
likelihood of contracting COVID-19. Results
obtained were inconclusive due to the small
population surveyed, so further investigation
into this relationship needs to be done to
statistically associate them both. Future
investigations need to be done with a broader
participant pool.
• Evaluate the environmental health and
behavior effects of COVID-19 on the elderly
population of North Miami.
• Engage in activities (i.e., focus group) that
will help capture a present-time snapshot of
the effect of COVID-19 on the elderly
population of North Miami
• Assess participants COVID-19 knowledge
and behavior
• Provide the participants tools to reduce the
burden of COVID-19 and other
infectious/environmental diseases.
I would like to thank the ASPHN program for
giving me the incredible opportunity of
participating in the Health Equity Internship.
Most importantly, I want to thank Dr. Karlyn
Emile and Ms. Micaelle Titus for their
unconditional support and guidance
throughout this internship.
