Impact of official and civil information correlation on information-epidemic coupling dynamics in multiplex network

Abstract Official and civil information, as distinct information sources, significantly influence public behavior and the dynamics of epidemic transmission. In this paper, we propose a three-layer U1A1U1-U2A2U2 -SIS coupled model to analyze the co-evolution process of official information dissemination, civil information dissemination and epidemic transmission, considering the interdependencies between the information dissemination channels. The first layer describes the official information dissemination process. The second layer models the civil information dissemination process, considering the effects of perceived risk costs and the role of the correlation between official and civil information. The third layer represents the epidemic transmission process, highlighting the impact of the correlation between official and civil information on epidemic transmission. Then, using the microscopic Markov chain approach, we describe the information-epidemic coupled dynamics and derive the epidemic outbreak threshold. Our research demonstrates that a stronger positive correlation between official and civil information raises the epidemic threshold and suppresses the scale of epidemic transmission. Furthermore, individuals' adoption of civil information should involve a more thorough assessment of the infection risk based on their personal circumstances, which can contribute to more effective epidemic control. Moreover, enhancing infected individuals' accurate comprehension of official information can effectively curb the transmission of the epidemic. Our study highlights the importance of both official and civil information dissemination in epidemic management and provides insights for policymakers in developing effective public health and communication strategies.

Estrogenic control of matrix metalloproteinases: a perspective on breast tumor invasion and metastasis.

Metastasis is the major cause of mortality in breast cancer patients, and presents an invincible therapeutic challenge. It is a complex process of dissemination of tumor epithelial cells, which is associated with disruption of tissue homeostasis, and alterations in the tumor microenvironment through extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling, stromal alteration, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) constitute a group of more than 25 zinc-dependent endopeptidases. By virtue of their ability to degrade a wide variety of ECM-associated proteins, they enable ECM remodelling during development, and disease. A large body of clinical data, and experimental evidences implicate MMPs in the invasion and metastasis of breast tumors. While MMPs are aberrantly expressed in breast tumors, few appear to have a dual role in disease progression; either promoting or inhibiting metastasis. Given the role of estrogen in breast cancer development, it is natural to ask whether this steroid hormone has any role in breast cancer metastasis. This review is a round-up of the prominent literature that presents estrogenic control of MMPs, which in turn implies its influence on the tumor microenvironment and metastasis.

Culturally Relevant Evaluation in Public Health: Lessons From the California American Indian Tobacco Initiative Evaluation.

American Indian Communities nationwide and in California have reported higher commercial tobacco use than the general population, making them at high risk of tobacco-related health consequences. While public health initiatives have successfully reduced commercial tobacco prevelance in California and around the country, mainstream commercial tobacco prevention approaches have not had as much success within American Indian communities. To address this disparity, the California Department of Public Health, California Tobacco Prevention Program initiated a new approach in 2019 by directly funding 13 California Tribes and five American Indian Serving Community Organizations to address commercial tobacco prevention as part of the California Tribal Initiative to Reduce Tobacco-Related Disparities. The California American Indian Tobacco Initiative Evaluation (CAITIE) sought to assess the overall success of the initiative and to provide specific feedback to improve future waves of funding. This article reports on the evaluation's incorporation of cultural protocols and best practices from Indigenous evaluation methodology into the research design, improving the cultural relevancy of the findings. These approaches included respect for Tribal sovereignty and Indigenous ways of knowing supported through the hiring of Native staff, an emphasis on participatory research practices using collective coding processes and member checks, and a commitment to a strengths-based approach and context-specific solutions through the dissemination processes. The CAITIE project's success offers support for the importance of conducting culturally relevant evaluations that honor and reflect the diversity of Tribal partners.

Cultural Inheritance and Globalization: The Current Situation and Challenges of Tai Chi's Overseas Dissemination

This paper takes the global dissemination of Tai Chi as the research object and systematically examines the current dissemination status, core challenges and optimization paths of this intangible cultural heritage in the cross-cultural context. Research has found that the overseas dissemination of Tai Chi has formed a three-dimensional pattern with official channels, folk networks and digital platforms running in parallel. However, a significant cultural discount phenomenon emerged during the dissemination process: Technically, the traditional martial arts system was simplified to aerobics; At the theoretical level, the philosophy of Yin and Yang has encountered dual misinterpretations of mystification or scientificization. At the institutional level, there are challenges such as the lack of certification standards and cultural policy barriers. In response to these issues, the research proposes a dual-track communication model, emphasizing the realization of innovative transformation through digital technologies (VR dojo, metaverse community) and modular courses (workplace Tai Chi, youth body-sensing training) while maintaining core philosophy such as "softness overcomes hardness". Meanwhile, a three-in-one collaborative mechanism of global certification - local interpretation - community embedding is constructed, providing theoretical and practical paradigms for the sustainable development of traditional culture in the era of globalization.

In-Group Bias in Financial Markets

Using gender to identify analyst groups, we examine whether in-group bias affects the behavior of sell-side equity analysts and the information dissemination process. We find that analysts hold more optimistic and less accurate earnings expectations for firms with same-gender CEOs, in which in-group bias is stronger among men. Greater exposure to out-of-group individuals weakens in-group bias, and the bias is also weaker among analysts located in U.S. states with greater gender equality. Group definitions based on race/ethnicity and name similarity yield similar results. These findings are robust and unlikely to reflect selective information access or various selection effects. This paper was accepted by Eric So, accounting. Supplemental Material: The online appendix and data files are available at https://doi.org/10.1287/mnsc.2023.01467 .

The influence of organizational resources and administrative processes on the quality of Brazilian open data

ABSTRACT Government support for disclosing open data to end users greatly expanding as part of the transparency policy. Although numerous studies have addressed open data portals and data quality, only some have analyzed the influence of organizational resources and administrative processes on open data quality. This issue is particularly relevant because access to and use of open data is believed to support social and economic development. The article analyses data dissemination tools, resources, processes, and leadership practices that can influence data quality. The study was conducted based on secondary information from a perception survey aimed at teams responsible for processing and disseminating datasets from Brazilian federal organizations. The study results reveal that dedicated organizational structures, support resources, administrative processes, and open data dissemination instruments influence open data quality. Leadership was not found to influence data quality. These conclusions interest public decision-makers and professionals involved in data dissemination that seek to stimulate economic development due to the impact that the resources and processes used for data dissemination have on data quality.

Archival Dialogue in Hindustani Music: An Interdisciplinary Approach

Hindustani classical music has undergone tremendous transformations due to the advent of recording technology since the early 20th century. Recorded music has become an integral part of musical discourse today and we owe it to the early musicians, especially women musicians from the courtesan community who embraced modernity and new technology for the first time in the history of Hindustani music and made it possible for this music to be heard outside of the physical presence and private performance spaces of musicians. Hence, this became the first step in the notion of archiving and preservation of music for future generations of practitioners, musicians, researchers and connoisseurs. The conversation with new technology impacted the performance aesthetics including the method of presentation and also the duration of live and recorded music. In the context of improvisation based genres like khyal, which is the predominant form of Hindustani music today, engaging with archival music as a reference, becomes an important source for developing an individual expression in performance practice. This paper discusses the understanding about the nuances of archival material as both physical and digital sources that includes books, treatises, anthologies, biographies, journals, texts of notated compositions, interviews of practitioners, audio recordings, video recordings in different formats and the role of various archival spaces in the dissemination process of Hindustani music performance practice and pedagogy. Also shared are my engagements with the archival material in a few inter-disciplinary projects: a sound project in a visual art exhibition as a vocal dialogue with western classical music; collaboration with ethnomusicologists in a project bringing together musicians, musicologists and visual artists; using music as a tool for climate change activism and being a participant in a global music archival digital project.

Using Baidu Index to Explore the Temporal Dynamics of Chinese Online Interest in the Thai Film Bad Genius

Objective: As the largest search engine in China, Baidu developed the Baidu Index, which is used to study Internet users' online search behavior and interests. This study aims to reveal the temporal dynamics and influencing factors of the film "Bad Genius" in China by analyzing its search trends on Baidu Index. Methods: This study used the Baidu Index, a publicly available database for accessing search query data systematically and quantitatively, to search using the Chinese keyword for Bad Genius. Search data were extracted from October 1, 2017, to March 21, 2025, to quantitatively analyze the temporal dynamics of public attention to the film. Results: The search trends shows three distinct phases: 1) The initial theatrical release peak (October 16-22, 2017)occurred three days after the premiere, confirming the chain reaction mechanism of "watching - dissemination - search" driven by social platforms; 2) A secondary peak emerged within 72 hours after the film's release on a streaming platform (December 1, 2017 ), specifically from December 4 to 10, 2017, reflecting the accelerated dissemination efficiency due to bullet-screen interactions; 3) Subsequent periodic fluctuations, such as during the 2019 Chinese GaoKao and the 2020 graduate entrance examination season, indicates that the film's narrative resonated with the issue of educational equity through the "social clock" effect, and triggered collective anxiety. Conclusion: The dissemination process of "Bad Genius" in China showed clear temporal dynamics: It garnered strong public attention and interactive participation during the initial theatrical release. Subsequently, its dissemination on streaming platforms broke through the traditional time threshold of word-of-mouth fermentation. The long-tail effect was characterized by precise resonance with the "social clock."

Science communication in Indian languages: A case study of scientific reporting through translation

Science is an integral part of our society, and modern technology has made the discovery of scientific phenomena commonplace. In India, most people learn about these discoveries through media reporting and translation into various languages. This makes scientific reporting in newspapers a daunting task, as it requires both subject knowledge and linguistic creativity to ensure accuracy in language translation. Whether discussing the frightening pandemic or celebrating the launch of the Chandrayaan, effective scientific reporting is crucial. The genre of popular science is primarily disseminated through newspapers, which are often filled with debates and discussions about science and technology that require equivalence and accuracy to educate the Indian population about the latest scientific breakthroughs. Translation plays a pivotal role in scientific reporting, as translating scientific registers, jargon, and technical terminologies is essential due to the distinct nature of scientific writing compared to creative writing or general communication. Media reporters are crucial in disseminating scientific awareness, but the mistranslation of technical jargon and scientific concepts can distort the content, leading to misinformation and disrupting the knowledge dissemination process. With new scientific discoveries frequently emerging, especially from the West, reporters face the dual challenge of ensuring linguistic and conceptual accuracy while meeting the urgency of news reporting. Demonstrable gaps exist in scientific reporting in translation, particularly in reporting key concepts, theories, policies and practices. This paper explores the extant theories and examines the policies that influence the reporting and translation of scientific literature in Indian languages. It discusses the practical challenges faced by translators. By addressing these issues, the paper aims to propose language and translation strategies to enhance the quality of translation in scientific communication.

Public engagement with science: an inclusive approach to innovate in health research with real-world data

BackgroundPublic engagement with science (PES) initiatives in health research that use big data to analyze social inequalities in health requires strategies and methods adapted to the contexts of countries in the Global South. This paper aims to examine how, in Brazil – a country with a strong tradition of social participation in research and public policymaking—two research projects from a center that utilizes administrative and real-world data incorporate inclusion and diversity as key elements to connect knowledge production with real-world challenges.MethodsThe study analyzes how two Cidacs research projects – one related to Primary Health Care (PHC) and the other to Data Interoperability—involved members of the public throughout their implementation. Both projects jointly engaged 18 participants, including community representatives, health professionals, and public sector managers. A case report approach is being employed in this paper to systematically document PES experiences based on a predefined script, covering context, methodology, activities, audiences, and ethical aspects. Data were collected through participant observation and listening during engagement activities, which facilitated dialogue between participants and researchers, as well as through follow-up questionnaires and subsequent discussions. This paper itself emerged from this collaborative process, including with some PES participants as co-authors.ResultsThe participants' collaboration impacted the researchers' decisions, providing a closer understanding of the challenges faced by the participants in their daily work in relation to each of the research themes. Furthermore, these discussions resulted in the establishment of partnerships for new initiatives. The participants highlighted that, in addition to the opportunity to contribute to the development of scientific research, they acquired new knowledge from their contact with the research teams.ConclusionsThe diversity of social groups and the inclusion of different perspectives in research projects mobilized by PES have the potential to promote innovations in research processes and results, as well as have social impact. The potential for applicability of scientific information is expanded since it is more connected to the real world, and the participants themselves drive the dissemination process.

On the English Translation of Yang Hsien-yi and Gladys Yang's The Scholars from the Perspective of Field Theory

Based on Bourdieu's field theory, this study deeply analyzes the overseas spread of the English versions of The Scholars by Yang Hsien-yi and Gladys Yang. By discussing the translation field, translation habitus and capital formation of the dissemination of The Scholars, this paper reveals the influence on the choice of translation strategies, the dissemination process and the reception effect of overseas audiences. It was found that the social and cultural environment and publishing situation affected translation at that time. Translators were accustomed to blending Chinese and Western cultures, which was unique in translation strategies and language styles. All kinds of capital accumulated by translators contributed to the spread of translations. In terms of cultural capital, with profound cultural accomplishment, translators accurately convey elements such as the imperial examination system, and explain the process, grades, and fame of the imperial examination in detail, to open a window for Western readers to understand the traditional culture of China. On the symbolic capital level, the translation has been recognized by academic circles and readers. It has become an important reference material, often cited by scholars, and its authority attracts more readers. Regarding social capital, with the help of contacts and reputation, translators create opportunities for translation promotion by participating in cultural exchange activities, such as sharing in international conferences and cooperating with foreign institutions, so that translations can enter more research and reading places. This study provides a new perspective for the study of overseas communication of the English version of The Scholars by Yang Hsien-yi and Gladys Yang, which helps promote the cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries.

Design and Development of a Journal Publishing Platform Using the MERN Stack

The scholarly communication and research dissemination process is very crucial to the academic and research community. Traditionally, journal publication processes have been cumbersome, time-consuming, and prone to inefficiencies, often relying on outdated systems for submission, review, and publication. Such limitations impede seamless collaboration and rapid knowledge sharing. Based on this, the authors suggest design and development in order to be using the most recent, flexible, and interactive publishing platform on modern journal applications that utilize a modern technology stack named MERN- MongoDB, Express.js, React, and Node.js - by which process for publication streamlines, whereby submitting research paper easily, manage reviewing smoothly and offer feedback rightly by the editors and reviewers. Our system would use a modular architecture and advanced web development principles to ensure highly responsive, secure, and scalable solutions. Main features include dynamic user roles, secure file handling, intuitive dashboards, and an advanced search function for ease of access of published content. The MERN-based journal platform proposed accelerates the scholarly publication process, promoting transparent collaboration that will ultimately result in better resource management and a more streamlined journal publishing experience than the traditional method.

Diseminasi Budidaya Biota Laut sebagai Upaya Peningkatan Pendapatan Masyarakat di Kabupaten Banyuasin, Sumatera Selatan

This community service activity was designed to address the economic challenges faced by fishermen in Sungsang II Village, Banyuasin II Regency, South Sumatra Province. Fishermen are often disrupted by weather conditions, such as the west monsoon or rainy season, which limit fishing activities and negatively impact their income. This program involved 48 fishermen and two partners, intending to increase the knowledge and creativity of the participants regarding alternative fisheries. The presentation covered aquaculture knowledge and the various organisms involved in it. In-depth explanations were also provided on silvofishery and aquaponics methods as alternatives to enhance income. Additionally, this activity highlighted potential local organisms that could serve as cultivation species. The program was carried out in several stages: preparation, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation. The evaluation was conducted to assess the success of the dissemination based on participants’ enthusiasm and the increase in knowledge gained. The results indicated that the program successfully achieved its intended objectives, evidenced by the participants' enthusiasm and a 45% increase in their understanding. However, the skepticism of some participants and limited capital for cultivation posed challenges to the dissemination process. The community's interest in and understanding of the introduced cultivation methods form the basis for the future, particularly focusing on silvofishery and aquaponics techniques. Recommendations for applying these cultivation methods will be formulated as follow-up steps to ensure the sustainability and positive impact of this initiative. Through this approach, it is hoped that the community can attain greater economic stability and enhanced environmental sustainability.

Planning for Dissemination for Participatory Community-Engaged Research: A Dissemination Curriculum and Planning Protocol

Proactive, action-oriented dissemination planning is still too rare for community-engaged research teams. To fill this gap, a national program for community-engaged research teams addressing health inequities developed a training to support dissemination planning. Our objectives in this paper are to 1) describe the curricular components that support research teams’ dissemination planning processes; 2) share a template that can be used and adapted by other community-engaged, action-oriented research teams for proactive dissemination planning; 3) describe the high-level dissemination planning themes (i.e., goals, audiences) and initial strategies of 15 research teams that went through the training and dissemination planning process. A dissemination planning curriculum was developed and implemented over the first year of the research program. The curriculum consisted of an interactive webinar, didactic self-paced video modules, and two, two-hour workshops, alongside a dissemination planning template that all research teams completed. Reflection on the curriculum evolution and a systematic analysis of a set of 15 teams’ submitted dissemination plans generated themes applicable to future community-based researchers’ dissemination processes. Advancing health equity through the generation of community-engaged research requires a systematic and proactive approach to dissemination of research results to audiences to advance action goals. Elements of this curriculum and/or the planning protocol can be used by other community-engaged research teams.

C-terminal binding protein-2 triggers CYR61-induced metastatic dissemination of osteosarcoma in a non-hypoxic microenvironment.

Osteosarcoma is the most prevalent cancer-related bone disease diagnosed in the pediatric age group. The rapid development of metastatic lesions and resistance to chemotherapy remain major mechanisms responsible for the failure of treatments and poor outcome. We established that the expression level of Cysteine-rich protein 61 (CYR61/CCN1) correlates to tumor neo-vascularization and dissemination in preclinical and clinical osteosarcoma samples. The aim of this study was to investigate the CYR61-related mechanisms leading to the acquisition of metastatic capacity by osteosarcoma cells. Transcriptomic data issued from RNA-seq were subjected to pathways and gene set enrichment analyses. Murine and human cell lines with overexpressed or downregulated C-terminal Binding protein 2 (CtBP2) were established by lentiviral transduction. Cell metabolic activity was assessed by Seahorse XF Analyzer; cell replication rate by BrdU incorporation assay; stemness by clonogenicity assay and RT-qPCR detection of markers; cell migration by wound healing assay and Boyden chambers system; cell invasion using Matrigel coated Boyden chambers or fluorescence microscopy of Matrigel embedded 3D spheroids. FFPE samples derived from syngeneic tumor cells grafts into BALB/c mice were analyzed by IHC. The protein interactome was predicted in silico using the STRING database. GSEA revealed that CYR61 modulate the transcription process. The in vitro expression level of CtBP2 and Cyr61 correlated positively in a panel of osteosarcoma cell lines. In silico analysis of protein-protein interaction network revealed a link with stemness markers. Variations in CtBP2 expression levels influenced stemness markers expression levels, cell clonogenicity, cell migration, Matrix Metalloproteinase activity and cell invasion. Surprisingly, while induction of CtBP2 expression under CYR61 correlated with the metastatic dissemination process in vivo, it occurred only at the invasive front of tumors. Hypoxic conditions in central tumor region interfered with CtBP2 induction of expression. Our findings identify for the first time that CtBP2 acts as a required critical inducing factor in the CYR61-related metastatic progression of osteosarcoma, by favoring cell migration and invasiveness. Moreover, we demonstrate that while CtBP2 is a downstream transcriptional target of CYR61 signaling cascade, it occurs only under non-hypoxic conditions. The present study suggests that CtBP2 may represent a potential pivotal target for therapeutic management of metastases spreading in osteosarcoma.

Dissemination of blaNDM-harboring plasmids in carbapenem-resistant and hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae.

Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) is a global public health threat, and CRKP strains carrying blaNDM plasmids are of particular concern. Here, the antimicrobial resistance and molecular epidemiological characteristics of 59 CRKP strains isolated from patients receiving care at a tertiary hospital in China from 2019 to 2021 were determined through antimicrobial resistance testing and genomic sequence analysis. We analyzed the genetic characteristics and transmissibility of blaNDM-harboring plasmids through S1-digested pulsed field gel electrophoresis, Southern blotting, and conjugation assays. The virulence levels of the strains were evaluated using a Galleria mellonella larvae infection model. All the CRKP strains were multidrug resistant, but none were resistant to colistin or tigecycline. A total of eight sequence types (STs) were detected in these CRKPs, with ST11 (39/59) and ST15 (12/59) being the most common. Among the carbapenemase genes, blaKPC (39/59) and blaNDM (18/59) were the most common, with blaKPC-2 transmitted mainly through ST11 clones and blaNDM-5 transmitted through ST15 clones. The blaNDM-harboring plasmids primarily belong to the incompatibility type IncX3 (14/18). IS26-mediated gene recombination, sequence insertion, and plasmid integration were observed to occur during the dissemination process. The resistance gene profile mediated by blaNDM-harboring plasmids can be transferred through conjugation, which have almost no fitness cost and is extremely stable after passage. Six of these strains presented carbapenem resistance combined with hypervirulence (CR-hvKP), including ST23-KL1, ST218-KL57, ST17-KL112, and ST147-KL64. Additionally, blaNDM-harboring plasmids can disseminate rapidly over large surface areas and persist for a long time in medical institutions, leading to outbreaks of highly resistant clones associated with CR-hvKP.IMPORTANCEThe appearance of plasmids carrying blaNDM and the rise of carbapenem-resistant hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR-hvKP) have significantly escalated the public health risk associated with Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP). In this study, we described the resistance rates, virulence factors, and molecular epidemiology of 59 CRKP isolated from patients at a tertiary hospital in China from 2019 to 2021. Beyond this, we also assessed the characteristics of blaNDM-harboring plasmids and their dissemination patterns among CRKP, especially some CR-hvKP. Our research contributes to the field of blaNDM dissemination studies, prompting researchers to formulate strict measures to prevent and control the development of blaNDM-harboring plasmids, which is instrumental in the clinical development of targeted treatment plans.

Assessing Health Information Seeking Behaviors Among Targeted Social Media Users Using an Infotainment Video About a Cancer Clinical Trial: Population-Based Descriptive Study.

The lack of information and awareness about clinical trials, as well as misconceptions about them, are major barriers to cancer clinical trial participation. Digital and social media are dominant sources of health information and offer optimal opportunities to improve public medical awareness and education by providing accurate and trustworthy health information from reliable sources. Infotainment, material intended to both entertain and inform, is an effective strategy for engaging and educating audiences that can be easily disseminated using social media and may be a novel way to improve awareness of and recruitment in clinical trials. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether an infotainment video promoting a clinical trial, disseminated using social media, could drive health information seeking behaviors. As part of a video series, we created an infotainment video focused on the promotion of a specific cancer clinical trial. We instituted a dissemination and marketing process on Facebook to measure video engagement and health information seeking behaviors among targeted audiences who expressed interest in breast cancer research and organizations. To evaluate video engagement, we measured reach, retention, outbound clicks, and outbound click-through rate. Frequencies and descriptive statistics were used to summarize each measure. The video substantially increased health information seeking behavior by increasing viewership from 1 visitor one month prior to launch to 414 outbound clicks from the video to the clinical trial web page during the 21-day social media campaign period. Our study shows that digital and social media tools can be tailored for specific target audiences, are scalable, and can be disseminated at low cost, making it an accessible educational, recruitment, and retention strategy focused on improving the awareness of clinical trials.

Chronicling the Photovoice Dissemination Process: Images and Stories as a Means to Decrease HIV Stigma Among Emerging Health Professionals

Disseminating images is a critical part of the photovoice process to move ideas to action. Viewers can help translate participants’ experiences to change. Yet, we know relatively little about the decisions made around photovoice dissemination or how photovoice images affect audiences. Relatedly, the audiences of photovoice remain understudied. To help close this gap, we describe a community-academic team’s process of moving photovoice results to change in the Reframing Life with HIV project, to chronicle the details of dissemination. This photovoice project was designed to give young, same gender loving men of color living with HIV (HIV + SGLMOC) in the urban Midwest a space to reframe the discussion around HIV medication adherence. Midway through the project, participants pivoted from planning to share their photo-stories with other HIV + SGLMOC via a photo exhibit – to creating a short video to decrease HIV stigma among emerging health professionals. We describe each step of the process and how the team made decisions about moving the project’s results to action and change. Steps included :1. Photovoice, 2. Post project interviews, 3. Video making, 4. Dissemination of stories via the video to teach others, 5. Project evaluation, and 6. Reflecting on lessons learned and next steps. The video that the participants made helped students understand HIV + SGLMOC, that they are human beings first, not illnesses or solely victims. Unfortunately, however, in post-video surveys, participants reported believing that people of certain races/ethnicities spread HIV, an unintended result of the project. Our findings suggest one way to approach photovoice dissemination, based in resilience and empowerment approaches, that is flexible, prioritizes participants’ project decisions, includes photovoice as one component of ongoing change, and underlines the importance of exploring and responding to viewer response to dissemination.
