Preventing Violence: What's news got to do with it?
Wednesday, March 22, 2017 at 12:00 PM | Lunch Provided
Amado Recital Hall in Irvine Auditorium
 |
|
It will be easier to make the big changes our communities need to prevent violence if we change the narrative around it and make prevention a visible part of the conversation. In this talk, Dr. Dorfman discusses the role of the news media, how connections among violence, youth and race get distorted in news reports on crime, and the prevalence of language in the news that minimizes the act of sexual violence. She also addresses the need to reframe news coverage in ways that highlight the social context for violence and potential solutions. She will share BMSG's latest research that explores news portrayals of community violence and childhood trauma and make recommendations for how to shift one piece of our public discourse - the news media - to elevate prevention.Lori Dorfman, DrPH, MPH, directs Berkeley Media Studies Group, a project of the Public Health Institute, where she oversees BMSG's research, media advocacy training and strategic consultation for public health advocates, and professional education for journalists. BMSG works with advocates to build their capacity to use media advocacy in confrontational policy environments so they can focus attention on transforming systems and structures to foster health.

Young gay/bisexual and other men who have sex with men (YGBMSM; ages 18-24) are experiencing an increase in HIV infection rates, particularly if they are Black or Latino. Psychosocial functioning is consistently implicated in HIV risk behaviors; however, less is known about the role of these factors in YGBMSM's decision-making process to use condoms (i.e., decisional balance to use condoms; DBC).

Innovations and Resources in the Field
NIH Funding Opportunity for Community Partners: All of Us
DESCRIPTION:
From the National Institutes of Health (NIH):
"The National Institutes of Health has announced a new opportunity for organizations interested in helping engage volunteers in the All of Us Research Program, part of the Precision Medicine Initiative. This funding opportunity, open to national and regional organizations, as well as local community groups, will support activities to promote enrollment and retention in the All of Us Research Program across diverse communities.
All of Us is an ambitious effort to gather data over time from 1 million or more people living in the United States, with the ultimate goal of accelerating research and improving health. Unlike research studies that are focused on a specific disease or population, All of Us will serve as a national research resource to inform thousands of studies, covering a wide variety of health conditions. Researchers will use data from the program to learn more about how individual differences in lifestyle, environment and biological make-up can influence health and disease. By taking part, people will be able to learn more about their own health and contribute to an effort that will advance the health of generations to come."
