“…News media plays an important role in promoting public comprehension of health-related advances, which, in this study, were constricted to the progress in drug development. Over the years, considerable effort has been devoted to examining the mass media in developed countries [ 10 , 13 – 15 , 52 , 53 ], but few such studies have been performed in the context of developing countries. This study addresses this gap using China as a sample and analyzing the claims and frames in news coverage to ascertain how advances in drug development are depicted in news reports in a developing country.…”

Background Technical information regarding health-related advances is sometimes esoteric for the general public. News media, therefore, plays a key role in public health promotion via health information conveyance. In this study, we use China as a sample country and analyze the claims and frames in news coverage of health-related advances, with special focus on news coverage of the development and performance of newly developed or tested drugs. Methods A keyword search was performed to retrieve news articles from four representative news agencies in China. In total, 3029 news reports were retrieved, of which 128 were selected for further analysis. Results Four aspects of news coverage of drug development were identified: (1) the characteristics of new drugs covered, (2) the sources of information, (3) the accuracy of health information in newspapers, and (4) textual features of news coverage. Conclusions Our findings reveal that guidelines should be established to facilitate more systematic news reporting on health-related advances. Additionally, literacy among the general public and professionalism in health information conveyance should be promoted to negate the “illusion of knowing” about health-related advances.

“…A survey [32] about what respondents recalled about a press release on HIV multi-drug resistance showed that only 5% remembered key prevention messages although 57% of respondents had heard or saw messages related to the press release. Another study [33] that adressed how social media is a valuable tool to reinforce awareness among medical residents, showed more knowledge about antibiotics and more engagement in promoting antimicrobial mindfulness.…”

Systematically review the literature regarding media communication about antibiotics and anti-microbial resistance (AMR) to synthesise its key characteristics and impact effectiveness, identifying gaps and areas for further research. Methods: A comprehensive systematic review covering five international databases for articles published between 1 st September 2008 and 1 st September 2018 was performed using the registered protocol (PROSPERO: CRD42018116464). The search using terms related to media communication and antibiotics or AMR yielded 19 eligible studies, which were analysed and qualitatively synthesised. Results: Research on media communication regarding antibiotics or AMR has rapidly increased in the last decade. 74% of studies used a media content analysis method, while the remaining studies collected data via surveys. Print media were examined in 53% (n = 10), with 74% (n = 14) focused on English language media. Conclusion: Currently, knowledge regarding media communication of antibiotics and AMR is very restricted to English-speaking print media. Further research is required to understand communication on this topic from other media (types and geographical regions) as well as how media effects attitude and behaviour change. Practice implications: Better understanding of media communication regarding antibiotics and AMR may be crucial for policymakers and public health experts when planning strategies to tackle this issue.

“…The health department in Seattle, Washington, Public Health-Seattle & King County (PHSKC), has initiated community engagement in several ways, including presenting information about MHS to the Ryan White Planning Council and other organizations and posting information about MHS on its website (Public Health-Seattle & King County, 2021). Additionally, using local media channels, PHSKC has alerted community members regarding molecular clusters that included multiclass drug-resistant HIV (Kahle et al, 2009). Continuing community engagement is a vital component of the work being undertaken by PHSKC to develop a local protocol for CDR.…”

Responding quickly to HIV outbreaks is one of four pillars of the U.S. Ending the HIV Epidemic (EHE) initiative. Inclusion of cluster detection and response in the fourth pillar of EHE has led to public discussion concerning bioethical implications of cluster detection and response and molecular HIV surveillance (MHS) among public health authorities, researchers, and community members. This study reports on findings from a qualitative analysis of interviews with community members and providers regarding their knowledge and perspectives of MHS. We identified five key themes: (a) context matters, (b) making sense of MHS, (c) messaging, equity, and resource prioritization, (d) operationalizing confidentiality, and (e) stigma, vulnerability, and power. Inclusion of community perspectives in generating innovative approaches that address bioethical concerns related to the use of MHS data is integral to ensure that widely accessible information about the use of these data is available to a diversity of community members and providers.
