“…As previously mentioned, the objectives of this review were guided by the socio-ecological model/perspective (SME/SSE) of public health, 22,23 which recognizes the influence of the environment on individual and community actions as well as the connection among different social and political elements in an environment. 'In stark contrast with individual-level approaches', ecological approaches like the SME/ SSE 'target multiple influences of health behaviors' (Ref.…”

“…The paucity of information and very limited number of existing reviews on this topic within published peer-reviewed literature not only excluded the possibility of conducting a review of reviews as one of the potential methodological options but also confirmed the need for the present review. Grounded in the socio-ecological model of public health (also referred to as social-ecological model of public health), 22,23 the Ideation Theory [24][25][26] and also reflecting the Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion, 11,27 the primary objective of this review is to identify and assess existing evidence as it relates to interventions that were designed and implemented in community-based, healthcare and multi-sectoral settings to communicate risk and mitigate the impact of epidemics and emerging diseases outbreaks. This systematic review transcends specific disease-related boundaries and recognizes the influence of communities, health systems, and multiple sectors and interventions on mitigation measures and behaviors as well as indicators of behavioral readiness, adoption, and sustainability.…”

Objective: This review aims to identify and assess evidence on interventions to communicate risk and promote disease mitigation measures in epidemics and emerging disease outbreak settings. The study focuses on data that are relevant to low and middle-income country (LMIC) settings. Methods: We conducted a comprehensive literature search using five major electronic databases (Pubmed Medline, Biomed Central, EMBASE, Science of Citation Index, and Cochrane Library) and other sources to identify relevant studies published from January 2002 to July 2013. The review was guided by the socioecological model/perspective of public health and the ideation theory and focused on interventions at the community, healthcare, and multi-sectoral settings, which also reflect key intervention levels of the Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion. Eligible quantitative studies were selected according to specific study criteria and assessed using the Critical Appraisal Skills Program (CASP) framework. Conversely, qualitative studies, reviews, case studies, and editorials were not included. Studies were selected by two independent reviewers. Results: Twenty-nine relevant studies from 16 countries were included. Most studies focused on a single intervention or intervention level, rather than multi-sectoral interventions. The majority of the evidence relates to programs aimed at behavioral and social results (or relevant intermediate steps) within a specific population group. Two studies included implications for improvements in health service delivery, two studies examined the intervention's impact on health systems-related outcomes, and three had also implications for environmental health outcomes. Cost-and health equity-related implications for select evidence were also discussed. Conclusions: The paucity of well-designed quantitative evaluations of interventions to communicate health risk and promote disease control measures in LMICs does not allow for any definitive conclusions. Yet, the review identified several promising interventions and areas for future investigation. Among them, community-based and participatory interventions seemed to be central within epidemic and emerging disease settings, particularly in low-resource settings. Yet, evidence on their effectiveness is not conclusive and needs to be explored by future studies. Other promising areas for future investigation include multicomponent and multi-sectoral approaches to intervention design. Major research gaps referred to any evaluation of the impact of these kinds of interventions on health policy adoption and/or implementation, and social determinants of health. Research on cost-effectiveness also needs to be strengthened. This review identified several research gaps and questions, and discusses potential future directions for increasing capacity for future and more rigorous assessments.

“…Two examples of community programmes which have not yet been implemented as originally planned are: 1) a proposed touring road show, targeted at pregnant women and children under the age of four, and 2) the establishment of community partnerships and champions: for example, targeting libraries, local bookshops and supermarkets, based in targeted communities, which would then run Childsmile related activities, such as dedicated story-telling sessions. Consequently, the resulting communication activities appeared to be topdown, with little encouragement towards forming community alliances to deliver oral health, as prescribed by Oetzel et al (2006). The postponement then of these communication activities suggests that equity was not achieved.…”

“…The former involves the individuals and their communities understanding their behaviours and being empowered through alliances to change their behaviours (Oetzel et al, 2006). For example, the importance of parents and schools in providing social support (Coker et al, 2002) and positive opinion leaders, such as peers and spouses, in promoting good health (Durantini, 2006).…”

Applying an ecological model to social marketing communications

Purpose – By applying ecological models of health behaviour to marketing communications to achieve behaviour change, this paper aims to illustrate the importance of taking into account various economic, environmental and social influences. Design/methodology/approach – A two-part study was undertaken. Part one involved exploring the lived worlds of the targeted population. Part two explored how the needs of the target audience informed a social marketing communications strategy. This was illustrated through Childsmile, a Scottish Government funded oral health institution. Findings – A variety of intra- and inter-personal influences where identified that encouraged or discouraged oral health. Complementing this was how these needs are incorporated into an ecological social marketing communications campaign. Although the long term effects of the ecological social marketing campaign will not become evident for a number of years, initial results indicate its important role in changing behaviour. Practical implications – The importance of engaging with various groups within social marketing is shown. Specifically, the need to understand and encourage interaction between individuals, their community, health institutions and the Government. Social implications – Behaviour change, through social marketing communications, is possible among socio-economic deprived groups. Change supported with face to face interactions with health professionals. Originality/value – Previous criticisms of social marketing research being American-centric, and avoiding issues around socio-economic deprivation are addressed. In addressing this, the paper also answers calls for research into ecological models of social marketing communications to understand how influences affect its applicability.

“…Whether or not this would lead to action to provoke change is unknown. 'Top down effects' (Oetzel, Ting-Toomey & Rinderle, 2006) or structural factors, such as community and institutional influences, and professional and regulatory systems, are powerful in shaping an individual's agency, and therefore their responses. However, at least students show that they are aware of the realities or practice before they are fully immersed in it and lose sight of some of their ideals.…”

This article relates the findings of a discourse analysis of an online asynchronous interprofessional learning initiative involving two UK universities. The impact of the initiative is traced over three intensive periods of online interaction, each of several weeks duration occurring over a three-year period, through an analysis of a random sample of discussion forum threads. The corpus of rich data drawn from the forums is interpreted using ecological systems theory, which highlights the complexity of
