“…A related study using similar questions among a general adult population (mostly White and African American) has been described elsewhere. 5 The interview guide yielded responses about a wide range of issues (e.g., cancer information from mass media), but the present report focuses only on the 986 lines of transcript text relevant to cancer communication in the health care setting (∼10% of the total text available). The interview format was pilot-tested and refined before implementation.…”

“…Such information exchange can occur within the context of active information seeking, or through more passive exposure (i.e., "scanning"). 5 Little is known about the cancer communication experiences of Vietnamese Americans. The Health Information National Trends Survey was the first national study designed specifically to address cancer communication, and yet few Asians were represented in the sample.…”

BACKGROUND: As patients grow older, accurate communication with health care providers about cancer becomes increasingly important. However, little is known about the cancer communication experiences of older Asian immigrants. OBJECTIVE:To learn about the cancer-related communication experiences of older Vietnamese immigrants from the insider perspective. DESIGN:Qualitative study (grounded theory, constant comparative method) using individual interviews with older Vietnamese immigrants with the purpose of discussing how they learn about cancer. Interviews were conducted in Vietnamese.PARTICIPANTS: Vietnamese immigrants aged 50-70 years, recruited through community-based organizations. Most had low education and limited English proficiency. The sample size of 20 was sufficient to achieve theoretical saturation. RESULTS:We identified 3 categories of themes concerning informants' experiences with cancer communication in the health care setting: (1) attitudes about addressing screening with providers, (2) issues/ problems communicating with physicians about cancer, and (3) language/translation difficulties. There was substantial overlap between informants who mentioned each theme category, and 40% of the participants mentioned all 3 categories.CONCLUSION: Clinicians should be aware of and act upon specific cancer communication needs/challenges of their older immigrant patients. Moreover, health care systems need to be prepared to address the needs of an increasingly multiethnic and linguistically diverse patient population. Finally, community-level interventions should address baseline knowledge deficits while encouraging immigrant patients to engage their doctors in discussions about cancer screening.

“…Although television advertising remains a critical component of tobacco control campaigns, it is becoming increasingly important to measure and understand the impact of antitobacco-related information across digital media platforms and the interactions across these platforms. To inform public health campaigns, we must identify message characteristics that make tobacco control information most likely to be consumed and shared with others across media platforms, thereby facilitating diffusion of such information (15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21). Examining message-level drivers of the selection-retransmission combination is also important because messages forwarded from close ties (eg, friends, family) are more likely to be perceived as persuasive and thereafter be disseminated by recipients (22,23).…”

Content Characteristics Driving the Diffusion of Antismoking Messages: Implications for Cancer Prevention in the Emerging Public Communication Environment

).This study examined how content characteristics of antitobacco messages affect smokers' selective exposure to and social sharing of those messages. Results from an experiment revealed that content features predicting smokers' selection of antismoking messages are different from those predicting whether those messages are shared. Antismoking messages smokers tend to select are characterized by strong arguments (odds ratio = 2.02, P = .02) and positive sentiments (odds ratio = 3.08, P = .03). Once selected, the messages more likely to be retransmitted by smokers were those with novel arguments (B = .83, P = .002) and positive sentiments (B = 1.65, P = .005). This research adds to the literature about the content characteristics driving the social diffusion of antitobacco messages and contributes to our understanding of the role of persuasive messages about smoking cessation in the emerging public communication environment. J Natl Cancer Inst Monogr 2013;47:182-187 Cigarette smoking remains the leading preventable cause of mortality in the United States and is a significant cancer risk factor. More than 90% of lung cancer is attributable to smoking tobacco, and tobacco use significantly increases the risk of developing all of the most commonly diagnosed forms of cancer (1). Thus, tobacco control efforts are critically important for cancer prevention. Tobacco control programs have historically relied heavily on traditional mass media to spread antitobacco messages (2-4). But Web 2.0 and the social media have resulted in rapid, profound changes in the media landscape (5-7). Implications for cancer prevention and tobacco control are just beginning to be understood.Rapid diffusion of new information technologies has created unprecedented opportunities for exposure to and sharing of antitobacco-related messages (ie, messages designed to prevent or curtail tobacco use). As of 2012, 81% of adults in the United States use the Internet, and 59% said they looked online for health-related topics (5). Of online adults, 67% reported using social networking sites such as Facebook or Twitter (8). According to a recent survey (9), 53% of US adults get news forwarded to them via e-mail or social networking sites; 36% share news with their social networks via those platforms. In sum, the production and dissemination of health information in general, and of antismoking information in particular, is no longer in the hands of a few experts or major corporations; individuals now actively seek out, generate, and share information across their social networks (7,10).For more than 2 decades, tobacco control researchers have examined how exposure to televised antitobacco advertising affects individuals' cigarette smoking attitudes and behaviors (2,(11)(12)(13)(14). Although television advertising remains a critical component of tobacco control campaigns, it is becoming increasingly important to measure and understand the impact of antitobacco-related information across digital media platforms and the interactions across these platforms...
