“…Thus, with the use of the module with pictures such as done in this research, it is an option whose advantages cannot be denied to replace the conventional module. The visual description in a form of pictures provides a mirror producing empathy [28], [29], [30] on how the pregnant mothers are supposed to behave.…”

Meanwhile, the advanced technology and the occurrence of pandemic should have created change toward the method to provide education. AIM: This research aims to compare the KAP of the pregnant women provided by an application with those provided with a module with pictures. METHODS: This research was conducted in Deli Serdang Regency, North Sumatera Province. There were two groups of pregnant women, each of which consists of 32 people chosen from the pregnant women registered in two Public Health Centers. One group used the application and the other used the module with pictures. After 3 months, the KAP of those two groups was measured in accordance with the content of the module. RESULTS: Those two groups had the profile of the same age and education, but their occupation was different, where the application users were mostly housewives, while the most of the module users were self-employed. The pregnant women using the application had a higher KAP than the pregnant women using the module with pictures. CONCLUSION: The use of the application and the module with pictures is an important alternative to increase the KAP of the pregnant women.

“…Although multidisciplinary research is used more as a buzz word than an actual starting point (with everyone tending to revert towards their much safer disciplinary corners as soon as possible) it is the way to go if basic and translational researchers want their work to truly inform effective change; involving stakeholders from politicians to the actual population. 11 In fact, science communication and outreach could serve as an excellent framework to engage different departments at research institutions (from basic and clinical sciences, to engineering, T A B L E 1 Issues and strategies in the interaction with different target audiences.…”

“…Otherwise, the old engineer joke, that if the only available tool is a hammer all problems will look like nails, may apply. Although multidisciplinary research is used more as a buzz word than an actual starting point (with everyone tending to revert towards their much safer disciplinary corners as soon as possible) it is the way to go if basic and translational researchers want their work to truly inform effective change; involving stakeholders from politicians to the actual population 11 . In fact, science communication and outreach could serve as an excellent framework to engage different departments at research institutions (from basic and clinical sciences, to engineering, psychology, anthropology, law, economy, social sciences and the arts) in a common goal, promoting interdisciplinary dialogue, and, hopefully, integrated out of the box thinking, also in terms of research itself.…”

New technologies are supported by the global implementation of the internet. These improvements have deeply affected various disciplines of sciences and consequently changed services such as daily business, particularly health sectors. Innovative digital marketing strategies utilize the channels of social media and retrieved user data to analyze and improve relevant services. These multidisciplinary innovations can assist specialists, physicians and researchers in diagnostic, prophylaxis and treatment issues in the health sector. Accordingly, compared to recent decades, health decision makers are more accurate and trustful in defining new strategies. Interestingly, using social media and mobile health apps in current pandemics of SARS-CoV-2 could be an important instance of the key role of these platforms at the local and global level of health policies. These digital technologies provide platforms to connect public health sectors and health politicians for communicating and spreading relevant information. Adding influencers and campaigns to this toolbox strengthens the implementation of public health programs. In 2016, the WHO adopted a global program to eliminate viral hepatitis by 2030. Recent constructive measures that have been used in the battle against COVID-19 could be adopted for the elimination of viral hepatitis program. The presented evidence in our narrative review demonstrates that the application of digital marketing tools to create campaigns on social media, armed with professional influencers, can efficiently consolidate this program. The application of different strategies in using these popular tools will raise the public awareness about viral hepatitis. Subsequently, the availability of an effective vaccine for HBV and antiviral medication for HCV can motivate the audience to take steps towards prophylaxis and screening methods against these infectious illnesses. The encouragement of health policy makers to apply digital communication technologies and comprehensive roadmaps to implement this global program will certainly decrease the burden of viral hepatitis worldwide.
