Layla Kwong, Professor
Public Health
Applications for Spring 2024 are closed for this project.
Dive into the world of health communication by contributing to our project focused on co-creating and evaluating the effectiveness of videos to enhance vaccine literacy and confidence. In the context of misinformation surrounding vaccines, particularly in Malay-speaking communities of Southeast Asia, we aim to develop culturally and linguistically responsive short-form videos (yes, like TikTok and Instagram Reels!). We will be collaborating with representatives from these communities to co-create a video during Spring and Summer 2024. In Fall 2024, we will launch an online experiment to evaluate the effectiveness of this video.
Role: As an undergraduate research assistant, you'll play a crucial role in providing administrative support during human-centered design workshops and focus group discussions, as well as contributing to data management for our online experiment. This opportunity is exclusively available for remote participation.
Qualifications: We are seeking individuals with an interest in public health, health communication, and digital media. A strong willingness to learn, meticulous attention to detail, and being able to organize lots of data are essential. Preferences will be given to those with any combination of these skills/ experiences: human-centered design, training facilitation, conducting interviews, creating data collection tools on REDCap, storyboarding, creative video production, and data cleaning and wrangling (R or Python).
