“…Such “degrading marks” on communities evolve through characterizations casting them as undesirable places without resources, capacity, or inherent value [44, 49]. These portrayals are further perpetuated through media coverage and academic discourse, which variously describe disadvantaged communities as “poverty-stricken,” “crime-ridden,” “vulnerable,” and “needy” [50]. Characterizations such as these can create a double jeopardy for groups already dealing with significant health challenges, as they can send the unintended message that the very communities most in need of social and economic investment are instead hopeless and beyond repair.…”

Findings from the field of Developmental Origins of Health and Disease (DOHaD) suggest that some of the most pressing public health problems facing communities today may begin much earlier than previously understood. In particular, this body of work provides evidence that social, physical, chemical, environmental, and behavioral influences in early life play a significant role in establishing vulnerabilities for chronic disease later in life. Further, because this work points to the importance of adverse environmental exposures that cluster in population groups, it suggests that existing opportunities to intervene at a population level may need to refocus their efforts “upstream” to sufficiently combat the fundamental causes of disease. To translate these findings into improved public health, however, the distance between scientific discovery and population application will need to be bridged by conversations across a breadth of disciplines and social roles. And importantly, those involved will likely begin without a shared vocabulary or conceptual starting point. The purpose of this paper is to support and inform the translation of DOHaD findings from the bench to population-level health promotion and disease prevention, by: 1) Discussing the unique communication challenges inherent to translation of DOHaD for broad audiences, 2) Introducing the First-hit/Second-hit Framework with an epidemiologic planning matrix as a model for conceptualizing and structuring communication around DOHaD, and 3) Discussing the ways in which patterns of communicating DOHaD findings can expand the range of solutions considered, and encourage discussion of population-level solutions in relation to one another, rather than in isolation.

“…Yet, in the process, certain civic opportunities are believed to be thwarted. For example, news frames (a) constrain economically distressed communities from seeing their assets (Ettema & Peer, 1996); (b) constrict political awareness of individuals (Gamson, 1992(Gamson, , 1996; (c) thwart the aims of social movement groups (Meyer, 1995;Molotch, 1977;Pride, 1995;Snow & Benford, 1992); and (d) set parameters for policy debates not necessarily in agreement with democratic norms (Andsager, 2000;Ashley & Olson, 1998;Hornig, 1992;Jasperson et al, 1998;Goshorn & Gandy, 1995;Norris, 1995;Pan & Kosicki, 1993;Terkildsen, Schnell, & Ling, 1998;Tulloch & Chapman, 1992).…”

A large and growing body of mass media research centers on the concept of "framing." This article responds to Entman's (1993) call for the establishment of a paradigm of news framing research, drawing on work in the sociology of knowledge to argue that news framing research operates according to principles of a Lakatosian research program (Lakatos, 1974) in which researchers employ and refine specific theories to generate findings in particular studies about a common core of irrefutable conjectures. In the metatheory developed here, the research program is inclusive of 3 paradigmatic outlooks, called cognitive, constructionist, and critical, that provide researchers with specific images with which to examine the interaction of media frames and individual-or social-level reality. Thus, contra Entman (1993), I argue that there is not, nor should there be, a single "mended" paradigm of framing research. The research program has benefited the communication discipline by encouraging researchers to use specific theories to progressively explicate a complex process.
