Overview of Our Diverse Research at Presented APHA

Fraser Communications is excited to showcase three studies across a broad spectrum of research at this year's APHA conference. These studies highlight our meticulous research into public health issues that matter.

From improving early childhood interactions in socio-economically disadvantaged families through our "Talk. Read. Sing." campaign to addressing hypertension management disparities with home blood pressure monitoring, our presentations cover essential health topics.

Each project underscores our expertise in crafting culturally competent health communication strategies that resonate with diverse populations. Let’s take a look at how we listen to our audience to created public health campaigns that were proven effective.

Study 1: Proven Impact of Our "Talk. Read. Sing." Campaign

Fraser Communications spearheaded the "Talk. Read. Sing." campaign, a dynamic initiative designed to enhance early childhood development among lower-income households throughout California. Recognizing the pivotal role of early verbal engagement in cognitive and social development, we crafted a campaign that encouraged caregivers to talk, read, and sing to their children aged 0-5 years.

To assess the effectiveness of this culturally tailored marketing campaign, Fraser Communications conducted a comprehensive post-campaign survey with 873 participants. The survey results were illuminating:

• Survey Insights: The feedback indicated a robust increase in caregiver engagement, with many more participants regularly talking, reading, and singing to their children—key activities linked to enhancing brain development and later school success.
• Behavioral Impact: Our analysis demonstrated a clear correlation between the campaign exposure and behavioral changes among caregivers. Those who reported higher exposure to the campaign materials were significantly more likely to adopt these beneficial practices in their daily routines.

This strategic approach not only confirmed the campaign's effectiveness but also underscored the importance of targeted public health messaging in driving tangible improvements in community health behaviors. Through this initiative, Fraser Communications has showcased its capacity to blend creative marketing techniques with rigorous scientific evaluation to foster health-promoting behaviors across diverse populations.

Case Study 2: Home Blood Pressure Monitoring

Fraser Communications conducted an in-depth study on the adoption and challenges of home blood pressure monitoring (HBPM), focusing on caregivers in both national and Los Angeles County samples. Our findings revealed that more than 80% of caregivers across the board assisted with HBPM, highlighting its widespread acceptance as a critical tool in managing hypertension—a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases.

The study uncovered significant disparities between the national and local samples in terms of the frequency of monitoring and the challenges encountered. For instance, caregivers in Los Angeles County reported higher daily or weekly monitoring rates and faced more obstacles in collecting accurate BP readings compared to the national sample.

These insights are vital for public health professionals seeking to tailor HBPM support programs more effectively. Understanding the specific needs and challenges of different communities allows for the development of targeted interventions that improve hypertension management across diverse populations, enhancing overall health outcomes.

Case Study 3: Vaping Among Adults in Los Angeles County

Fraser Communications delved into the prevalent issue of adult vaping in Los Angeles County, conducting research to understand voter beliefs and behaviors around this risky practice. Our findings provided essential data for shaping public health strategies aimed at mitigating the health risks associated with vaping.

Our survey revealed that a significant majority of respondents (63%) acknowledged the harmful effects of vaping. This recognition varied among different demographics, indicating the need for public health interventions to be customized. For example, younger adults were less likely to view vaping as harmful compared to older adults, suggesting a targeted educational approach might be more effective in altering perceptions and behaviors in younger demographics.

These insights are instrumental for public health officials seeking to tailor anti-vaping campaigns more effectively. By addressing the specific beliefs and practices of various demographic groups, public health interventions can be strategically designed to reduce vaping rates and promote healthier lifestyles among adults in Los Angeles County.

Implications of Research for Public Health Strategy

The research Fraser Communications presented at the APHA conference extends beyond enriching academic discourse; it crucially informs actionable public health strategies. These studies provide empirical foundations for developing policies and programs that resonate with diverse communities, ensuring that interventions are both scientifically sound and culturally sensitive.

Hospitals and public health organizations can utilize these insights to craft initiatives that specifically address the nuanced challenges faced by their target populations. By implementing these evidence-based strategies, health agencies can enhance the efficacy of their outreach efforts, leading to improved health outcomes and reduced disparities across various groups. This strategic alignment between research findings and public health policy is essential for the creation of effective and sustainable health interventions.
