- 60. H1N1 + Social Media • You want to disseminate your public health messaging for H1N1 to the general public and target the high-risk groups • Messaging focused on: – Prevention – How transmitted – Treatment – Vaccine • Find out what the public is really saying about H1N1 ―ground-truthing‖
- 61. Twitter • Use to: – Push out your message – must be ―short & sweet‖ – Rumor control (H1N1 vaccines) – Correct misinformation (pork & swine flu) – Direct people to your website or tel # to call – Monitor school closures – Find out what the public is doing (swine flu parties) • Know who you’re trying to reach, not all of your target audiences will use Twitter

H1N1+Local PH Dept Examples • Contra Costa, CA recent tweets and posts included announcements on the expansion of groups eligible for vaccine, a call for volunteers at flu clinics, food handling tips, flu clinic schedules, and statistics regarding fatalities and hospitalizations. • Howard County, MD used Twitter and Facebook as tools to reach one of the CDC target groups for H1N1 vaccination—college students. • Fairfax County, VA Health Department let their constituents know about H1N1 vaccine clinic wait times by tweeting. They used social media as an interactive tool, taking comments and questions online.
- 64. Facebook • Use to: – Push out your message (wait times, clinic location) – Rumor control (H1N1 vaccines) – Correct misinformation (pork & swine flu) – Direct people to your website or tel # to call – Monitor school closures – Find out what the public is doing (swine flu parties) • Know who you’re trying to reach, not all of your target audiences will use Facebook – Sermo for physicians

Web 2.0 & Social Media; Lessons Learned IPAC June 17, 2010
- 73. Measuring the Effect of Social Media? • Social media has created a number of challenges. – First, given the unique characteristics of social media, one of the first challenges is knowing what to measure. – Second, do traditional instruments like a return on investment (ROI) provide an accurate picture of user engagement.
- 74. Measuring the Effect of Social Media? - Blogs Social Media Tool How to assess Awareness How to assess Engagement Blogs •What is the ranking of the •How many people blog? subscribe to your blog? •How many unique/return •How many people visitors do you have? comment on the blog? •What is the number of people responding to surveys or polls?

- 75. Measuring the Effect of Social Media? – Social Networks Social Media Tool How to assess Awareness How to assess Engagement • Social Networks • How many friends do • How many people post you have? content to your page? • How many people "like" your page? (Facebook) • How many people "share" original content that you generated on your page? • What are your monthly active users/daily new likes/daily post views (Facebook) Hoffman, Donna and Fodor, Marek. "Can You Measure the ROI of Your Social Media Marketing?"MIT Sloan Management Review. Fall 2010.
- 76. Measuring the Effect of Social Media? - Twitter Social Media Tool How to assess Awareness How to assess Engagement Twitter • How many people are • How many people are tweeting about you? using a #hastag you • How many people are created, for example following you? #nihlib for the NIH Library? • How many @replies or @mentions do you have? An @reply is a any update posting by clicking the "Reply" button. An @mention is similar to a reply; however, it can appear anywhere in the tweet Hoffman, Donna and Fodor, Marek. "Can You Measure the ROI of Your Social Media Marketing?"MIT Sloan Management Review. Fall 2010.
- 77. Even more resources http://wiki.kenburbary.com/ Thanks to Kathryn Hambleton, HHS Center for New Media
- 78. So What? • New technologies allow rumors and alternative views to spread quickly. • You may think blogs and tweets and Facebook are silly, but people are using social media to talk about public health issues and find information. • The policies, analysis, justification, etc. are not evolving as quickly as the tools themselves. Social media are a new set of tools for the public health toolbox.

- In May 2011, Facebook published a "Best Practice Guide: Marketing on Facebook" serves as an official resource on how to take advantage of Facebook's advertising products, social plugins, analytics and other tools to grow one's business. Social should be baked into everything you do, not added at the end of a campaign or done on the side. Add an authentic personality to your brand by providing an authentic and consistent voice. When possible engage in two-way conversations with your users. Just like in the real world, building relationships with users on Facebook takes time and requires a long-term investment
- What about Promoted Accounts? Is this something that government agencies want to get into?Are there any folks in the room at are using promoted accounts at their agencies?Promoted Accounts are part of “Suggestions for You,” which suggests accounts that people don’t currently follow and may find interesting.Promoted Tweets (Promoted Tweets are Tweets purchased by advertisers who want to reach a wider group of users or to spark engagement from their existing followers.)Promoted Trends (paid Promoted Trends appear at the top of the Trending Topics list on Twitter)
- Historically all analytics was done through Insights, but today we replaced Insights with YouTube Analytics. YouTube Analytics should be easier to use and it also provides more granularity for power users. Some of the improved features include:A Quick Overview: A new overview provides all of the information that you care about quickly, while also enabling you to easily access more detailed information. More Detailed Reports: Analytics now includes more detailed statistics so that you can have a more precise understanding of your content and audiences. Audience Builders: Discover which videos are driving the most views and subscriptions. Audience Retention: See how far viewers are watching through your video in the new audience retention report.Read more about the new YouTube Analytics here and check it out on your account soon (it's rolling out to all users over the course of the the next day).

- As we all may remember, 2009 included the arrival of the H1N1 type of A influenza virus. We passed the one year anniversary of its appearance in the United States in March 2009. After early outbreaks in North America in April 2009 the new influenza virus spread rapidly around the world. By the time WHO declared a pandemic in June 2009, a total of 74 countries and territories had reported laboratory confirmed infections. To date, most countries in the world have confirmed infections from the new virus.The new virus has also led to patterns of death and illness not normally seen in influenza infections. Most of the deaths caused by the pandemic influenza have occurred among younger people, including those who were otherwise healthy. Pregnant women, younger children and people of any age with certain chronic lung or other medical conditions appear to be at higher risk of more complicated or severe illness. Many of the severe cases have been due to viral pneumonia, which is harder to treat than bacterial pneumonias usually associated with seasonal influenza. http://www.who.int/csr/disease/swineflu/en/
- A pandemic is the worldwide spread of a new disease. After early outbreaks in North America in April 2009 the new influenza virus spread rapidly around the world. By the time WHO declared a pandemic in June 2009, a total of 74 countries and territories had reported laboratory confirmed infections. To date, most countries in the world have confirmed infections from the new virus.The new virus has also led to patterns of death and illness not normally seen in influenza infections. Most of the deaths caused by the pandemic influenza have occurred among younger people, including those who were otherwise healthy. Pregnant women, younger children and people of any age with certain chronic lung or other medical conditions appear to be at higher risk of more complicated or severe illness. Many of the severe cases have been due to viral pneumonia, which is harder to treat than bacterial pneumonias usually associated with seasonal influenza. http://www.who.int/csr/disease/swineflu/en/As of April 25, 2010, more than 214 countries, including over 17,919 deathsCDC estimates that between 39 million and 80 million cases of 2009 H1N1 occurred between April and December 12, 2009. The mid-level in this range is about 55 million people infected with 2009 H1N1.CDC estimates that between 173,000 and 362,000 2009 H1N1-related hospitalizations occurred between April and December 12, 2009. The mid-level in this range is about 246,000 H1N1-related hospitalizations. CDC estimates that between 7,880 and 16,460 2009 H1N1-related deaths occurred between April and December 12, 2009. The mid-level in this range is about 11,160 2009 H1N1-related deaths. http://cdc.gov/h1n1flu/estimates_2009_h1n1.htm In contrast, the seasonal flu kills about 36,000 people a year, with 90 percent of these deaths occurring in people 65 years and older.influenza-like-illness (ILI),
- So here is our scenario for today, High risk groups include: pregnant women; immunocompromised; college students; young children.You also want to find out what the public is really saying about the vaccine, transmission etc.
- Social media was used extensively during H1N1 in 2009 to disseminate information, respond to rumors, and promote resources.
- You could use Twitter to:Limited to 140 charactersRumor control about vaccine availability; autism & vaccine Not everyone is using Twitter, so it should be one tool among many used to disseminate your messages.
- Here are 2 of the CDC’s Twitter feeds on H1N1.Their feeds: pointed to their H1N1 webpages new clinical care guidelines statistics on cases, hospitalizations, & deaths press briefings, testimony, webcasts vaccine information
- Flu.gov’s Twitter pageFlu.gov is the US Government’s central site for information on H1N1. The HHS Interagency Public Affairs Group on Influenza Preparedness and Response, is responsible for coordinating pandemic-related information across the federal government.Flu.gov repeats or leads back to the CDC H1N1 webpages, but also included information from other USG sources, WHO, webcasts, FAQs etc.
- PAHO’s Twitter feed links back to WHO, PAHO & CDC websites, press briefings, new reports, statistics etc.
- Vaccine clinic hours & schedulesWait timesEligible groupsNeed for volunteersStatistics on H1N1 in local communities or stateFlu prevention tips
- Like Twitter, Facebook could be used to:Promote flu vaccination (HHS created a badge for people to post on their Facebook pages that were vaccinated)Point people to your H1N1 information page
- Much of the information that can be shared on Twitter can also be posted to Facebook although more detailed information can be shared here (not limited to word count)
- PAHO’s YouTube channel includes videos on H1N1 and other public health concerns; however, they are available in English & Spanish
- So how do you keep track of all of the sources of information on a topic, or resources you are using?You could try the following that I used for H1N1 last year.Use RSS feeds to stream new content to an iGoogle tab. iGoogle is a customizable page attached to your Google account, but that you can also share with others.Use web browser apps to update, track, search Twitter or Facebook. You can also download and use apps for your smartphones and cellphones to post new content to Twitter or Facebook.Firefox apps for Twitter :Ping.fm (updating social media tools all at once)TweetScan (search keywords in Twitter)ShareAHolic (share pages via Facebook, Twitter, email, Gmail etc.)Deepest Sender (WordPress blog)Brizzly (Twitter & Facebook streams on 1-page)Monkeyfly (retweets & searches)Flicrk appsTwitPic (send pictures to Twitter)TweetStats (statistics for your Twitter account)TwitterBar (post to your Twitter account right from the FF toolbar)
- So how do you keep track of all of the sources of information on a topic, or resources you are using?You could try the following that I used for H1N1 last year.Use RSS feeds to stream new content to an iGoogle tab. iGoogle is a customizable page attached to your Google account, but that you can also share with others.Use RSS features & automated searches from Twitter, Google, YouTube, websites, journal TOCsBlog feedsPress release feedsCDC H1N1 flu update pageCDC YouTube channelGoogle search feedetc. to keep up-to-date on new postings, news or information
- Live is more social, less serious more usefulFacebook is a “semi-protected environment” or “a semi-unknown place populated by semi-unknown users”.
- Facebook and Twitter can be updated, posted to or followed via smartphone or cellphone using applications;Mobile internet access is only going to become more widespread and important in the future. In 2008, there were 4 billion mobile phone subscriptions, which reached 61 of every 100 people. While most mobile phone users are in the developed world, the developing world is rapidly increasing in number of users. This is where mobile internet access is important. Most people will access the internet and your content online via a phone not a computer.
