SOCIAL MARKETING CAMPAIGNS

To develop health promotion messages and campaigns that resonate with AI/AN communities, our team uses social marketing, an evidence-based planning process that improves the impact of health promotion messages. The model uses formative research to identify priority populations, segment the community into distinct audiences, pretest messages, materials and strategies with the audience, and then monitors the campaign to assess its effectiveness.

We’ve used this community-driven process to design social marketing campaigns addressing health topics important to AI/AN communities, including:

  • Drug and Alcohol Use
  • Sexual Assault
  • HIV Testing
  • Hepatitis C Testing and Treatment
  • Suicide Prevention
  • Flu and Immunizations

 

Please feel free to download, print, or pass on any of our campaign materials. Or use the campaign logos on your own shirts and promotional materials.

The PrEP Training for Community and Public Health Staff is a Learning Path for providers who see American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) clients. Pre Exposure Prophylaxis, or PrEP, is a powerful biomedical tool that can help prevent new cases of HIV, yet many providers know little about it, and do not discuss it with their clients. This is especially true for staff who work within or are associated with the Indian Health Service (IHS) system of care and who see American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) clients. PrEP Training for Community and Public Health Staff is a series of courses that aim to increase knowledge and awareness of the benefits of PrEP.

Access the training.

The Native. Tested. Proud. campaign encourages routine HIV testing for everyone 13-64 years old. Funds for the project were provided by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s (SAMHSA) Minority AIDS Initiative (MAI) and the Indian Health Service.

Hepatitis C is everybody’s responsibility. With American Indian and Alaska Natives having the highest mortality rate from hepatitis C of any race or ethnicity, it is time to make a decision to get actively involved, raise awareness and care for ourselves and the ones we love. Whether that means getting tested for Hepatitis C, educating others about new treatment options, or learning about how you can protect yourself from getting the virus, it is important that Hepatitis C is a topic that’s talked about. Hepatitis C is not something that’s going to go away, unless we all get involved and eliminate the disease. It’s not just doctor’s, or people living with Hepatitis C, and it’s not just your, or your family’s-it is everybody’s responsibility to prevent, treat and cure Hepatitis C.

As a part of the Generation Indigenous (Gen-I) initiative, NPAIHB trains AI/AN youth from across the U.S. in leadership skills, social marketing, and health activism.

Here is some of the work created for Native youth, by Native youth.
