Under The Needle: Understanding The Benefits And Misconceptions Of Vaccinations, 2018 Germanna Community College
Under The Needle: Understanding The Benefits And Misconceptions Of Vaccinations, Desmond Davis
Student Writing
By and large, medical and government institutions such as the CDC have been primarily responsible for educating the public on the necessities of vaccinations, and quelling fears regarding them. As the world becomes more connected, proponents of the anti-vaccination movement find common ground via social media platforms and other outlets from which to confirm preexisting notions that vaccines are detrimental to recipients. This places a burden on both the aforementioned institutions as well as the general public to deal with potential outbreaks before they either resurge from previously low infectivity rates, or before they reach epidemic proportions.
The Link Between Vaccination And Autism, 2018 Germanna Community College
The Link Between Vaccination And Autism, Erika Tellez
Student Writing
Vaccination provides individuals with protection against many preventable diseases, yet many claims against vaccination have causes vaccination rates to drop. Vaccination rates have dropped after a claim that vaccines offset autism was published. Although vaccination is necessary in order to prevent the spread of diseases throughout the population and in order to protect individuals who cannot be vaccinated. The claim that there is a link between vaccines and autism has been disproven based on lack of communication between the scientific community and public, discovery of falsified evidence, and further studies which demonstrate there is no link.
How Collective Norms And Media Use Affect Attitudes About Violence Against Women And Contraception Use In Sub-Saharan Africa, 2018 George Washington University
How Collective Norms And Media Use Affect Attitudes About Violence Against Women And Contraception Use In Sub-Saharan Africa, Erica Sedlander, Rajiv N. Rimal
GW Research Days 2016 - 2020
Background: Contraceptive use and attitudes about violence against women, though enacted at the individual level, are also driven by factors at the interpersonal and social levels. The role of mass media in promoting social norms surrounding these attitudes and behaviors has not received much scholarly attention but can be helpful to illuminate areas for intervention.
Hypothesis: We proposed and tested the hypothesis that collective norms (defined as a groups aggregate behavior or attitudes) would be associated with individual level attitudes (tolerance towards violence against women) and behaviors (contraception use). This relationship was further hypothesized to vary by media use, such …
