The Role of Ethnic Media in Promoting Health Literacy among Canadian Minorities
Notice bibliographique
Résumé
Background: Health literacy is an extremely valuable concept as it allows individuals to utilize and understand health information and services to make the best decisions for themselves. However, previous studies indicate that immigrants tend to have low health literacy that adversely affects their health at some point in their lives. Currently, there is a growing emphasis by national institutions and health organizations, including the Canadian Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, to improve health literacy and overcome the underlying barriers that this has on health disparities among various groups in Canada. This requires an emphasis on working within the communities to expand the current knowledge on how health literacy is impacting minorities, and what interventions can be taken to resolve this issue. One logical extension of this idea is to take a closer look at ethnic media in the forms of television, radio, podcasts, newspapers, or social media outlets, as many immigrants and minorities use these media systems as the primary source of information. As such, the purpose of this study is to establish the extent to which ethnic media in Alberta are promoting health literacy and education, the effectiveness of these mechanisms, and the role they perceive they can play in improving health literacy among ethnic minorities. Methods: This study was organized using the Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices Model. We compiled a sampling frame of operating ethnic media based on a selecting criterion which included ethnic media outlets that must present at least some information in the home country language, must at least have some form of media that functions in Alberta, and cannot include social media content produced by sole individuals operating on social media websites. We will conduct semi-structured interviews with the selected ethnic media online. We will inductively summarize the participants’ knowledge and attitudes using descriptive analysis, and practices will be thematically analyzed deductively using the Sociological Model and Communication for Developmental approach. Expected results: We expect to find results that indicate that most ethnic media members believe they should be playing a crucial role in improving health literacy among ethnic communities, but strongly feel that they are currently not doing enough and are uncertain of how to approach this issue. We expect that recommended future direction of this work will focus on potential mechanisms that can allow ethnic media to effectively engage with their audiences to promote health literacy.

Imitation des enseignantsNi prévalence calibrée, ni vérité terrain. Validation humaine à venir. Le volet Gemma est une étiquette directe du modèle pour chaque travail de la base, lue sur la notice réduite au titre. Le volet Codex est un classifieur appris des 10 348 étiquettes directes de Codex et calibré sur les taux pondérés de l'échantillon; les champs sans appui suffisant ne portent aucun appel Codex. Le mode candidate est l'union des deux volets; le consensus est leur intersection. Ces sorties portent le statut machine_predicted_unvalidated et ne sont pas des étiquettes humaines.
