SPEAKERS:

Nancy Harrington, PhD, is professor and associate dean for research at the Department of Communication, College of Communication and Information, University of Kentucky.

Dr. Linda Neuhauser

Linda Neuhauser, DrPH, is clinical professor of community health and human development and co-principal investigator of Health Research for Action at the School of Public Health, University of California, Berkeley.

BACKGROUND:

There are more and increasingly diverse ways for health information to reach the public. The interest among Americans to receive health information also remains high compared to most other topics. To maximize the impact of health information on the nation’s well-being and empower consumers, communicators need to know whether their messages are reaching the right audience, whether the information is understood, and whether the materials make a difference in decision-making and health outcomes. As a result, evaluation is an integral and crucial part of health communication.

NLM is presenting this lecture series to highlight innovative approaches and best practices in evaluating health communication. As NIH and NLM diversify their use of mass communication channels to dispatch health information, a fresh consideration of evaluation’s cutting edge is timely and important.

NLM and NIH employees are encouraged to attend this series, as are members of the public, employees of other governmental agencies, and faculty and students from area universities. The lectures will feature discussion and participation by audience members. Dr. Gary Kreps, university distinguished professor and chair of the Department of Communication, and director of the Center for Health and Risk Communication, George Mason University, kicked off the series and will serve as the discussant for the other four programs, adding continuity and facilitating a progression of learning.

NLM will be inviting DOCLINE libraries to participate in a survey on interlibrary loan practices and needs of the health science libraries in the National Network of Libraries of Medicine (NN/LM) and Canada.  This is your opportunity to help shape resource sharing programs of the future.

NLM initiated this survey to investigate the reasons for the declining use of DOCLINE and current practices of libraries regarding resource sharing.  The number of ILL requests entered into DOCLINE has decreased 46% since 2002 while Loansome Doc requests declined 68% in that same period.  Your response to this survey is very important and will help us to understand the resource sharing needs of librarians in the NN/LM and Canada, and how NLM can best meet those needs now and in the future.  We look forward to your participation.

The survey has 30 questions that we estimate will take about 12 minutes to complete.

NLM will be sending the invitation email via SurveyMonkey to the address of each library’s ILL contact reported in their DOCLINE institution record.  If that email fails, the survey will be immediately emailed to the ILL delivery address for the DOCLINE library.  If the listed ILL contact has previously opted out of receiving emails from SurveyMonkey, please contact DOCLINE at https://docline.gov/docline/help/contact_nlm/ask.cfm to receive a link to the survey.  Responders can leave the survey before completion in order to confirm their responses.  The original email link will return them to where they left off.

NLM announces an upcoming lecture series on strategies to evaluate health communication.  The first of the five-part lecture series is this coming Monday.  More information about our first speaker, Dr. Gary Kreps, is attached.  The title of his talk is: “Evaluating Health Communication Programs to Enhance Health Care and Health Promotion.”

The event will be videocast live and archived at http://videocast.nih.gov
