  • public broadcasting media engagement and 2 1 1 using mass communication to increase the use of social services
    American Journal of Preventive Medicine, 2012
    Co-Authors: Dhavan V. Shah, Douglas M Mcleod, Hernando Rojas, Benjamin Sayre, Rosanne M Scholl, Clive Jones, Emily K. Vraga, Amy Shaw
    Abstract:

    Background The 2008–2009 subprime mortgage crisis was catastrophic, not only for the global economy but for families across the social spectrum. The resultant economic upheaval threatened the livelihoods, well-being, and health of many citizens, who were often unsure where to turn for help. At this critical juncture, public broadcasting stations worked to connect viewers to support resources through 2-1-1. Purpose This study was designed to evaluate the ability of public broadcasting to increase the use of information and referral services. Methods Autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) modeling and Regression Analysis document the relationship between public broadcasting initiatives and 2-1-1 call volume in 35 highly affected U.S. markets. Time-series data from St. Louis MO were collected and analyzed in 2008. Station-level data from across the nation were collected during 2009–2010 and analyzed in 2010. Results ARIMA results show a distinct linkage between the timing and duration of Channel 9 in St. Louis MO (KETC) programming and a subsequent (approximately 400%) increase in 2-1-1 calls regarding financial services and assistance. Regression Path Analysis not only found evidence of this same effect nationally but also showed that differences in the broadcaster's orientation and approach mediated effects. Specifically, stations' orientations toward engagement were mediated through strong outreach strategies to increase 2-1-1 use. Conclusions This study documents the ability of public broadcasting to help citizens in need connect with social resources through 2-1-1 services. By focusing attention on the mortgage crisis and its attendant consequences, and by publicizing 2-1-1 services as a gateway to supportive resources, public broadcasters fostered linkages between those in need and social resources. Moreover, the level of a station's commitment to engaging citizens had a strong bearing on the success of its programming initiatives and community partnerships with organizations such as 2-1-1.

  • political implications of prime time drama and sitcom use genres of representation and opinions concerning women s rights
    Journal of Communication, 2003
    Co-Authors: Lance R Holbert, Dhavan V. Shah, Nojin Kwak
    Abstract:

    Scholars studying the content of televised entertainment programming have long argued for a relationship between exposure to sexist media representations of women and opinions concerning women's status in society, yet research has rarely examined prime-time television audiences and their sociopolitical opinions concerning women's rights. To explore these relationships, we engaged in a secondary Analysis of the 1997, 1998, and 1999 DDB Life Style Studies. Using hierarchical Regression, we found three forms of entertainment television use (traditional drama, progressive drama, and situation comedy) that retain statistically significant, unique relationships with opinions concerning women's rights, even after accounting for variables thought to shape patterns of media use and influence support for women's rights. Further, Regression Path Analysis revealed that these three forms also mediate relationships between various demographic, situational, and orientational variables and the criterion variable.
