This research brings together the concepts of community controversy and frames in dispute. The following discussion reviews the academic literature pertinent to these areas, defining terms that guide the research. Community and Controversy When sociologists use the term community they are referring to groups of people, although beyond that there are many differences in definition. There is agreement, however, that it is through community that people regularly interact (Flora et al., 1992), a process that is at times harmonious and at other times conflictual. Consequently communities have long been sites of local controversy (Coleman, 1957), a phenomenon worthy of examination. Examining Community In 1955 George Hillery identified 95 different definitions for the term community, which he folded into 16 classifications and three general themes, 1) commonality among people; 2) social interaction; and 3) common land-themes that appropriately encompass present definitions for community (Stoneall, 1983). Commonality among people is what sociologists consider community based upon a common identity. Within this set of definitions individuals may have a shared emotional or symbolic attachment, such as religion. Social interaction is community as a social system.

The human papillomavirus is associated with a range of cancers. A vaccine introduced in 2006 has dramatically decreased the incidence of these cancers, but Americans still experience over 47,000 new cases of HPV-related cancers each year. The situation is worse in rural areas, where vaccination rates lag the national average, making HPV a significant health disparity issue. This article lays out an evidence-based HPV vaccine-promotion strategy that will serve as part of a campaign to improve health equity in rural northern New England in a process that is repeatable and sustainable. The campaign includes the following elements: partnerships with state departments of health and trusted community opinion leaders, evidence-based storytelling, local social media, traditional media, and school-based pop-up vaccination clinics. Borrowing from marketing and social marketing frameworks and guided by public health perspectives, we begin with psychographic and geodemographic information about our target audience, followed by a discussion about relevant models, frameworks, and research related to persuasive storytelling. We conclude with the outline of a guidebook to foster the creation of persuasive stories as part of a sustainable, replicable HPV vaccination campaign.
