“…(GfK Knowledge Networks 2015) GfK provides those in non-Internet households with a computer and internet access. The GfK panel is increasingly used in public health research(Rose, Emery et al 2015) and provides the unique opportunity to test how exposure to narrative communication strategies about SMI affect attitudes among a national sample of adult participants. The experiment was fielded over a 13-day period from March 21-April 2, 2016.…”

In the ongoing national policy debate about how to best address serious mental illness (SMI), a major controversy among mental health advocates is whether drawing public attention to an apparent link between SMI and violence, shown to elevate stigma, is the optimal strategy for increasing public support for investing in mental health services or whether non-stigmatizing messages can be equally effective. We conducted a randomized experiment to examine this question. Participants in a nationally representative online panel (N=1,326) were randomized to read one of three brief narratives about SMI emphasizing violence, systemic barriers to treatment, or successful treatment and recovery or to a control arm. Narratives, or stories about individuals, are a common communication strategy used by policymakers, advocates, and the news media. Study results showed that narratives emphasizing violence and barriers to treatment were equally effective in increasing the public’s willingness to pay additional taxes to improve the mental health system (55% and 52% versus 42% in the control arm). Only the narrative emphasizing the link between SMI and violence increased stigma. For the mental health advocates dedicated to improving the public mental health system, findings offer an alternative to stigmatizing messages linking mental illness and violence.

“…Point of sale display bans achieved high compliance and public support in Ireland and Norway [26], and in Thailand, an evaluation of its 2005 ban found high support among smokers [16]. A study of public support of marketing and point of sale bans in the United States found low support [27], and an evaluation of a point of sale ban is currently underway in the United Kingdom [28]. Prior research has found that airports are not necessarily subject to in-country or local smoke-free legislation [2], thus a concerted effort among smoke-free advocates and policy makers may be required to implement a TAPS ban.…”

Tobacco advertising, promotion, and sponsorship (TAPS) bans are effective and are increasingly being implemented in a number of venues and countries, yet the state of TAPS in airports and their effect on airport smoking behavior is unknown. The objective of this study was to evaluate the presence of TAPS in airports across Europe and the US, and to begin to examine the relationship between TAPS and smoking behaviors in airports. We used a cross-sectional study design to observe 21 airports in Europe (11) and the US (10). Data collectors observed points of sale for tobacco products, types of products sold, advertisements and promotions, and branding or logos that appeared in the airport. Tobacco products were sold in 95% of all airports, with significantly more sales in Europe than the US. Advertisements appeared mostly in post-security areas; however, airports with advertisements in pre-security areas had significantly more smokers observed outdoors than airports without advertisements in pre-security areas. Tobacco branding appeared in designated smoking rooms as well as on non-tobacco products in duty free shops. TAPS are widespread in airports in Europe and the US and might be associated with outdoor smoking, though further research is needed to better understand any relationship between the two. This study adds to a growing body of research on tobacco control in air transit and related issues. As smoke-free policies advance, they should include comprehensive TAPS bans that extend to airport facilities.

“…Terry and Zhang (2016) would seem to concur; their study of smoking policy effectiveness found that policy enforcement was significantly more effective for reducing smoking rates than simply policy provision. Rose et al (2015) had similarly low findings of public support for smoking and tobacco control point of sale informational provisions with widespread support only enjoyed with provisions related to restricted access to smoking products by minors.In addition to linguistic diversity, such as that demonstrated in California and Texas, Ozolins (2010) posited the existence of three additional factors that impact language service policy: reliance on public sector finance, institution-led factors, and cross-sectoral interpreting needs. These factors would seem to argue for a strong presence of multiple language versions of public policy by state institutions, which are financed by public funding.…”

Investigation of Factors Relating to the Web-Based Presentation of Policy and Information on Campus Firearm Policy and Smoking Policy

In order to explore themes of privilege in regard to policy availability, language accessibility, and underlying bias, policies related to two topics of interest to higher education campus visitors, campus firearm carry policy and smoking policy, are explored to determine how Web-based information is presented to various audiences. Implications of policy accessibility are compelling; language barriers can adversely affect access to campus events and educational services. Representative samples of policies of five states that allow some form of open or concealed campus firearm carry were studied to determine possible factors of importance. Representative samples of two additional states in the more restrictive continuum of the campus carry issue were also studied as a control. In addition, policies relating to smoking were examined to determine themes related to overall policy presentation approach. Findings indicate that few Websites facilitate the provision of translated policy, and that few options exist for easy translation of policies into other languages at the point of origin. In addition, this study presents evidence that the recentness of legislative activity and desire to mitigate visitor concerns may be considered as factors impacting policy availability.Keywords: policy language accessibility, campus policy o matter which side of the political fence an institution subscribes to on a given issue, it is a universal truth that polices related to that issue should strive to be accessible and transparent to impacted audiences. While higher educational institutions have historically enjoyed a high measure of trust, institutions are increasingly being called upon to display policies and positions that reflect their values and attitudes. In addition, the policy development process at higher educational institutions is becoming increasingly complex, with multiple levels of review increasingly incorporated. Further, with organizations such as the Association of College and University Policy Administrators (ACUPA) promoting the development of a best-practice approach to policy-making (Bruhn, 2003), an assessment of the state of dissemination practice of two policies related to politicized issues, campus firearm carry and campus smoking, is timely. Language service policy has long been studied to determine how provision of translation services fosters access to services (Snowden & McClellan, 2013), how political bias has been linked to policy development (Krzyżanowski & Wodak, 2011), and how it can improve quality and performance measures (Regenstein et al., 2008). Policy language restrictions, including the use of English-only policies, have been studied in workplace settings to determine the extent that they foster discriminatory and unethical practices (Castro, 2011;Cavico, Muffler, & Mujtaba, 2013). Yet, in higher educational settings, there is a paucity of studies relating to the importance of providing language access to institutional policy. A parallel study of the use of quality translation in re...
