Shift the meme from victims to people with potential #hchlitss
An informative #hchlitss chat!
Language translation includes cultural competence #hchlitss
MT @katellington: Reach out &cnnect w/those already 
wrking in communities on efforts (e.g. educ, communication)
. eg. @saludToday #hchlitss
Folks! I hate to say this but we are closing in on the 9 p.m.
 hour. @mindofandre - THANK YOU for all that you do
 and cont to do! #hchlitss
Thanks to everyone for coming out tonight! I had a blast,
 this is the stuff that fires me up :) #hchlitss
You can build capacity through collaboration and improve
 sustainablity. #hchlitss
so sorry to hear that @milhealth...hope he is on the
mend #hchlitss
Reach out and connect with those already working in 
communities on other efforts (e.g. education, communication). 
eg. @saludToday #hchlitss
@rv_rikard re: social disadvantaged/social injustice 
victims, absolutely. Fancy new IT won't replace their needs. #hchlitss
En el mundo de la salud pública, mi mantra ahora 
es sostener o morir. No hay sostenibilidad en las
 innovaciones —@mindofandre #hchlitss
The stories of hope, empowerment & new ideas are 
what we need to see now. Which is why I started
 @fastfwdhealth. People are ready #hchlitss
@SeerGenius - I agree. There are a lot of languages 
available due to new technologies but much of it is 
inaccurately translated. #hchlitss
@kdhoffman2 @milhealth Good evening to everyone#hchlitss
@milhealth Welcome and thank you!! #hchlitss
@rv_rikard can't spell 2-night, #healthlit conversation...#hchlitss
And the field will continue to lose as we see more
 numbers showing us that we are not winning key 
battles. Sustain or die. #hchlitss
Very true! MT @mindofandre@SeerGenius: communities
 have leaders/pple they trust, work w/ them to build
 credibility/sustainab'ty #hchlitss
@rv_rikard Great #heralthlit conversation (the parts
 I caught :-) #hchlitss
In the public health world, my mantra now is Sustain or
 Die. No sustainability in the innovations, then the people
 we serve lose #hchlitss
Know your audience...but not audience, co-health
 advocates #hchlitss
Phew! good stuff indeed. I would mention that we are 
past the point where we can afford to miss out on 
sustainable measure #hchlitss
We're at the 10 minute mark...Q5. @mindofandre any 
 final/closing thoughts? #hchlitss
What @katellington mentioned about novelas hits the
 nail on the head regarding simple yet relevant ways 
of communication #hchlitss
WOW! We are about 10 mins from 9 p.m. - @mindofandre
 any final/closing thoughts? #hchlitss
@mindofandre exactly. it's amazing what happens with 
comity buying- it becomes "theirs" and you can check in
 occasionally... #hchlitss
MT @katellington: A3 Language not a barrier, but asset. 
Innovative => @TweetDeck translates tweets to Spanish
 &mny other languages #hchlitss
@ncrainbowgrrl you got it - if the community doesn't 
care after the billboards and bus stop ads are gone...
#hchlitss cc: @HealthJusticeCT
A3 Language is not a barrier, but an asset. Innovative
 ==> @TweetDeck translates tweets into Spanish and 
many other languages #hchlitss
requires real knowledge of the community! #hchlitss
Relationship building! RT @pat_devine: personal one 
on one interviews are good way of getting feedback
 if trust can be built #hchlitss
@mindofandre, How could we keep the momentum 
going? #hchlitss
personal one on one interviews are good way of getting
 feedback if trust can be built #hchlitss
Like what @SeerGenius mentioned, communities have 
leaders/people they trust - work with them to build credibility/
sustainability #hchlitss
A3 @SHAREing Novelas education for the latina community
 involved survivors and community in creation #hchlitss
@pat_devine Hard to get to library if you're running btw
 2 jobs, raising kids, etc... #hchlitss
Q4: Going back to what I mentioned about digging deep 
into a community to partner and connect w/leaders already
 there #hchlitss
MT @mindofandre: Q4: mindset of 1of hlth campaigns 
needs 2change first. We cant afford campaigns tht fizzle
 after 3 months anymore #hchlitss
http://t.co/beMWi6TE has refugee and immigrant languages, 
http://t.co/njNHt0SZ is another NIH web site. #hchlitss
Yep! the arts are powerful for health (@ReginaHolliday)
 RT @HealthJusticeCT@mindofandre, very true! Spoken
 word formats! #hchlitss
patients can use public libraries to use computers to 
access NLM resources, we give funding awards 4 
outreach http://t.co/8JFedylj #hchlitss
Q4: the mindset of one off health campaigns needs to 
change first. We cant afford campaigns that fizzle out 
after 3 months anymore #hchlitss
@mindofandre, very true! Spoken word formats! #hchlitss
MT @katellington:A3 Worked on a proj w/ @SHAREing
 2develop http://t.co/jD4uXWzU public awareness campaign
 4 latina community<-Yes #hchlitss
@HealthJusticeCT @mindofandre Actually, I would argue
 that many languages ARE NOT available OR poor translated. 
#hchlitss
And this is where design works. RT @HealthJusticeCT
@SeerGenius But health literacy becomes an issue for 
those who can't read. #hchlitss
http://t.co/RTfqum6n designed for lay people, + includes
 "easy to tead" section. and http://t.co/1kcRuEZj especially
 for seniors #hchlitss
@SeerGenius @mindofandre very true - many languages 
are available. But health literacy becomes an issue for
 those who can't read. #hchlitss
A3 I worked on a project with @SHAREing to develop
 http://t.co/VsN3EHsN a public awareness campaign 
for the latina community #hchlitss
A3 I worked on a project with @SHAREing to develop 
http://t.co/VsN3EHsN a public awareness campaign for
 the latina community #hchlitss
Yay! RT @rv_rikard: Welcome @yayayarndiva
 Great to see you! #hchlitss
Welcome @troyturner - you will find info on #hchlitss 
at http://t.co/bRBTkp5X #hchlitss
http://t.co/RTfqum6n is an excellent resource, no 
commercials. available entirely in spanish, parts in
 selected languages. #hchlitss
hchlitss is health communication health literacy 
and social sciences #hchlitss
Unfortunate. Ego built in too RT @SeerGenius: Q3: 
Hardwork. And "the man's" perception that building 
 relationships lack value. #hchlitss
Welcome @yayayarndiva! Great to see you! #hchlitss
Q4 @mindofandre how can we grow 1 time pub health 
campaigns n2 long term pub health msgs w/ lasting
 impressions? #hchlitss
New ways of getting feedback that is real and actionable
 need to happen. Focus groups have limitations #hchlitss
Q3: Hardwork. And "the man's" perception that building 
relationships lack value. #hchlitss
@pat_devine yes?--> free access to medical papers
 etc! #hchlitss
medical librarian here! I'm part of http://t.co/8JFedylj in the 
pacific nw region. we want to connect people to NLM 
resources. #hchlitss
@mindofandre Great in theory. how to find $$ to do so? 
#hchlitss
I think there needs to be more co-creation/partnering with 
communities that will be getting these campaigns to make 
sustainable #hchlitss
@mindofandre or we don't know how to "find"
 the right people, given our own places within the 
healthcare community #hchlitss
@HealthJusticeCT @mindofandre #hchlitss uh-huh. how 
many languages is webmd translated into?
@HealthJusticeCT @SeerGenius I think that it only makes 
sense to take into account language diversity w/any platform
 #hchlitss
A3: the right people to make culturally smart long term 
campaigns are not always in the leadership roles to make
 a reality #hchlitss
@SeerGenius @mindofandre - do you see language
 being an issue for limited English proficient people re: 
 mobile devices? #hchlitss
@rv_rikard their smart outreach and simplicity of use - 
exactly what we need with new tools such as mobile 
#hchlitss
and I'm glad that I found it and can blog about it... but 
what about someone who would have stumbled onto
 it. again= trust issues? #hchlitss
@mytext4baby did some outreach with #fqhc (health
 centers) in low- income and minority communities. 
http://t.co/Xbcssuna #hchlitss
@mindofandre - what makes Text4Baby innovation 
in your opinion? #hchlitss
Last yr there was a #healthlit Twitter chat . I wrote 
about it. Great feedback on digital literacy issue:
 http://t.co/hn1ChTCr #hchlitss
Q3. @mindofandre what is/are the social/cultural barriers
 to sustainable public health campaigns? #hchlitss
Was shocked to find that one of the #Migraine diaries 
programmed by pharma resources provided incorrect
 info. #hchlitss
MT @ncrainbowgrrl: I have 4 #migraine diary/logger 
applications on my iPhone that im trying. some RSHODDY, 
others wonderful so far #hchlitss
MT @mindofandre: Was shown that Spanish speaking
 participants program were even mre satisfied w/texting 
usbility thn English spkrs #hchlitss
I have 4 #migraine diary/logger applications on my iPhone 
that i'm trying. some are SHODDY, others wonderful so 
far #hchlitss
Here is the URL for the press release re: the first results
 for Text4Baby: http://t.co/cKIwJqwq and general site: 
text4baby.org #hchlitss
Welcome @pat_devine and @HealthJusticeCT - good to
 "see" you! #hchlitss
need to reach out to natural community leaders and
 teach them to teach others. #hchlitss
@mindofandre - do you have a URL for the Text4Baby
and a brief description? #hchlitss
Was even shown that Spanish speaking participants 
in the program were even more satisfied w/texting 
usability than English spkrs #hchlitss
trust of the sites is a factor in non-use. #hchlitss people
 tend to prefer info from their peers or older relatives.
BTW - we welcome any new participants or "lurkers" to 
introduce themselves! #hchlitss
A2 - the Text4Baby campaign, which recently got some 
results back, looks like a great example #hchlitss #mhealth
@jeannieologist I agree with you that hc practitioners 
need to be "in the know" when it comes to web #hchlitss
Q2 @mindofandre what r sme innovative opps 2 bridge 
the digital health literacy (i.e. health lit 4 mobile/online) 
culture gap? #hchlitss
#hchlitss there's great health tools online&communities 
where health disparities exist r not using but use internet. 
why?
Especially with aging populations and in chronic 
illnesses RT @kdhoffman2#epatients ≠ patient ==> 
surrogate--family, friend #hchlitss
@rv_rikard hard to pinpoint for both areas in relation 
to health info, lack of general awareness & confidence
 in searching #hchlitss
@ncrainbowgrrl @AfternoonNapper: my mom will look
 things up in her small-print, 4-inch thick PDR before she'll 
 Google something. #hchlitss
BTW - Welcome @AfternoonNapper! :) #hchlitss
@AfternoonNapper I walked right into that, didn't I.
 lol #hchlitss
#hchlitss integrate tech.ed, intervntion and safety 
 awareness into nursing-school curriculums so #nurses 
can reinforce pt. teaching with web
@ncrainbowgrrl Exactly. They don't look it up period. #hchlitss
epatients are often not the patient but a surrogate--family, 
friend #hchlitss
@mindofandre: is there an overarching factor to race/
ethnicity and level of educ? #hchlitss
#hchlitss - If it doesn't come from someone trusted, people 
watch ur lips move but that's it.
@AfternoonNapper probably because if the terms/
definitions don't apply to them specifically, it won't be 
something to pursue #hchlitss
@AfternoonNapper how do they get the info, then if not 
looking it up online? #hchlitss
I'm always surprised by what people don't look up online 
(regardless of how) such as medical terms/definitions. #hchlitss
96 million smartphone users in US acc http://t.co/K9WQfoes
 #hchlitss
@katellington I agree that the word "disabled" is an ugly term
 - I quoted the PewInternet study to frame the question. #hchlitss
Another aspect Pew points out is the level of education.
 High School vs College - the later tends to go online for 
health more #hchlitss
MT @jeannieologist: in #nursingethics class,discussed 
online pt. directed marketing of #pharm, which resembles 
#health information #hchlitss
@SeerGenius <- please chime in! #hchlitss
Another thing: my mom's a retired nurse so I mistakenly 
think she knows what good medical info looks like on the
 web. Not true. #hchlitss
@jeannieologist which can also add to the mistrust issue
 - when you don't know if a company's motives are behind
 the info #hchlitss
in #nursingethics class, we've discussed online pt. 
 directed marketing of #pharm, which resembles #health
 information #hchlitss
Q1 "disabled" synonyms like "useless" and "mutilated"
and the awful list goes on. —@AimeeMullins@TEDTalks
 http://t.co/6qjg0OcN #hchlitss
I'm sure @SeerGenius can touch on it more but there is
 a long history of distrust and malpractice (mildly speaking)
 #hchlitss
T1: totally agree w/@LauraGHC that there is a huge
 barrier in typing #hchlitss
@rv_rikard Never had smartphone until 2 mod ago- but 
can see how it can be used in 2 mins of downtime vs. 
computer #hchlitss
MT @mindofandre:mobile aspect was gathered through
 research from Pew, but mainly because of affordability,
 mobility common use #hchlitss
MT @mindofandre:mobile aspect was gathered through 
research from Pew, but mainly because of affordability, 
mobility common use #hchlitss
@LauraGHC bingo, there is the aspect of physically not
 being able to access the web for any long periods of 
time #hchlitss
@ncrainbowgrrl YES, agreed. I want to hit them upside 
the head with http://t.co/LoSRGzqH with almost every 
email they send me. #hchlitss
@jeannieologist - Welcome to the chat! #hchlitss
@LauraGHC my mom is 64, all over the web, but knows
 nothing about why some sources are not reputable. #hchlitss
@mindofandre infom abt health & well being may b distrusted
, being risk avrs is an issue <- Can you speak on this a bit 
more? #hchlitss
The mobile aspect was gathered through research from Pew, 
but mainly because of affordability, mobility and common use 
#hchlitss
@mindofandre My mom has some arthritis in her hands & 
can't type very well when she's in pain so I know that's part 
of it. #hchlitss
Q1: http://t.co/PpKizGnA <--- this say older folks don't get 
on it. #hchlitss
@kdhoffman2 @LauraGHC Glad to see you all! #hchlitss
Personal experience - my parents are in the 65+ 
age range (77, actually), & while they both have computers, 
they're not tech-savvy #hchlitss
MT @rv_rikard: T1: Why R fewer than 1/2 U.S. adlts: 
Afr Amers, Latinos, 65+, disabled, low ed, low income
 go online 4health info? #hchlitss
I'm thinking physical disabilities in this category RT
 @ncrainbowgrrl: Q1: Define "disabled?" #hchlitss
@mindofandre: people of color learning that access 
2 the Web, especially around hlth info happens alot thrgh 
mobile <- Why mobile? #hchlitss
@mindofandre Why mobile vs. anything else? #hchlitss
Hi Heang from @HealthJusticeCT here. #hchlitss
Another reason is that much information about health 
and well being may be distrusted, being risk averse is 
an issue #hchlitss
Q1: Define "disabled?" #hchlitss
Welcome @LauraGHC...no apologies...we're having a 
slow start! #hchlitss
Q1: Perhaps they/we don't trust it? #hchlitss
With people of color we've been learning that access 
to the Web, especially around health info happens alot 
through mobile #hchlitss
Welcome @LauraGHC - you aren't late at all! :) #hchlitss
