This research brief presents analyses aimed at characterizing the content of a corpus of original and retweeted Twitter posts related to the role of alcohol intoxication in sexual assault within the context of the #MeToo movement.

Pharmacists are increasingly expected to communicate skillfully, yet few Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) curricula include theoretically-derived or evidence-based communication training. The 12 Fundamentals of Highly Effective Communicators is a pedagogical tool that we developed to teach principles of communication to two consecutive cohorts of PharmD students in their second year (P2).

In an attempt to better understand and serve Health Communication reviewers, we surveyed them and inquired about their motivations for reviewing a manuscript, including why they agree, decline, or disregard invitations to review submissions.

Presented at the International Communication Association in May 2020, this work used a combination of textual-analysis software and manual review to explore and compare young adults’ shared and received memorable messages (SRMMs) of condom use.

A text-mining approach was used to analyze students’ reactions to a campus emergency and how they use social media to communicate shortly after.

To understand how alcohol use is characterized by the #MeToo movement on Twitter, this study collected and analyzed 25,014 total tweets and retweets, including 5,566 original mentions, containing the #MeToo hashtag and the keyword “drunk”.

Interprofessional communications can be a source of communication apprehension for pharmacists, likely due to a lack of training on how to effectively convey their message and achieve their goals for the interaction. This study describes an applied learning module to coach pharmacy students through recording a voicemail for a physician.

This project used social cognitive theory (SCT) and health literacy constructs from the Institute of Medicine and National Institutes of Health to analyze eight IMD websites. Despite current recommendations, none of the websites considered for this study offered content of an appropriate reading level in conjunction with the United States average of eighth grade, and 75% of the sites failed to satisfy more than one health literacy construct.
