Multimedia in Three Arenas
In this session you will learn about three different uses for videos. The first paper discusses an educational resource that includes two documentary videos, a booklet, and a website. The materials in the content outline the health risks associated with perimenopause and suggest behaviors that women can adopt to address those risks. The videos include documentary profiles of women in perimenopause and expert commentaries to model preventive behaviors and present methods for change. The second paper is a qualitative study of African-American Baptist Pastors and Ministers from the greater Newark, NJ area. The goal of this study is to qualitatively discern the impact of domestic violence training on a Christian community. The third speaker will discuss the methods used to develop and evaluate three videos that were produced to specifically target HIV-positive adults, HIV-positive young adults, and caregivers of HIV-positive children. The series presents successful techniques for coping with mental health difficulties including stress, anxiety, depression, substance abuse, and neurological impairment, as well as discrimination, economic stress, and social isolation.
Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of the session, the participant in this session will be able to:
1) Describe the procedure for developing, producing, and evaluating a documentary video, booklet, and website to motivate women in perimenopause to engage in preventative behaviors; develop appropriate goals and outcomes for health communication message for women in perimenopause; and identify the appropriate uses of the media discussed.
2) Identify traditional praradigms of a Christian Marriage; analyze modern scholarship regarding Christian Marriage; apply modern scholarship to traditional paradigms of Christian Marriage; create new, modern paradigm of Christian Marriage.
3) Describe the procedure for developing, producing, and evaluating the messages and videos to encourage PLWHA to use mental health services; and identify the appropriate uses of the media discussed.
