Introducing.... TELL ME
BMJ Group and doc2doc are involved in a European Commission project called TELL ME, which is looking into communication techniques used during public health crises.
TELL ME stands for Transparent communication in Epidemics: Learning Lessons from experience, delivering effective Messages, providing Evidence) and is a 36 month Collaborative Project, which aims to provide evidence and to develop models for improved risk communication during infectious disease crises. TELL ME combines public health, social sciences, behavioural sciences, political sciences, law, ethics, communication and media, in order to develop original communication strategies regarding complicated messages and advice based on uncertainties, also addressing vaccine-resistant groups
You can read more about the project on the website: http://www.tellmeproject.eu/
doc2doc’s involvement in the project is to write a report on the use of social media during public health crises, as well as put together a guidance document for health professionals with the goal to increase vaccine uptake in at-risk groups/vaccine resistant groups, and to coordinate the publication schedule for the whole project.
Being an online community network, we would really like to get doc2doc users involved in this project, as well as non members too. Seeing that one of the reports is on social media (or new media), it seems only right that we consult online communities and draw upon your vast array of experience and knowledge, to produce a well-informed and engaging report.
