Love this keynote on #digitalhealth#equity@CourtneyRLyles#isrii11. We assume everyone has consistent access to wifi, devices, broadband but many groups who have the most need may not. How can we go beyond our typical spheres of influence to impact health? More info in paper 👇🏼
another takeaway: consider whether relying on a particular research method in #digitalhealth excludes certain groups (eg lower digital literacy, differential access to devices and internet connectivity). consider using multiple ways of gathering data during co-design #isrii11
re #digitalhealth implementation for #healthequity — the setting and context are important! design for the setting it will be implemented in up front, with continuous stakeholder input & partnerships with community from the beginning #isrii11
to advance #digitalhealth products to improve #healthequity, we need to get out of our silos, Eg @UCSF has a public-private health tech partnership. we also need to figure out how to align our work with priorities of the private sector #isrii11

as promised, here is the tale of getting #MyFirstR01 & like a good psychologist i'll go over the content (what it's about) & mostly the process (how I did it) & give some professional development advice as i am wont to do. buckle up because i wrote too much & am dysregulated 1/n
it is a large 5 year project to update an adolescent HIV prevention program I worked on as a postdoc in 2012-2013. The updates will 1) reflect contemporary HIV prevention knowledge, bc TONS has changed, 2) focus on encouraging HIV testing/PrEP uptake (not just condoms!) 2/n
3) make it more 2022, technology-wise (it was only delivered using text msg), 4) make it more gender-inclusive (previously was GBQ cis boys; I plan to expand it to trans & gender diverse teens who may benefit from HIV testing/PrEP) - read summary here bit.ly/36bqGKi 3/n
Went to an engaging workshop on Twitter for academics led by the fab @rdmersey, Professor & Assoc dean of research @MedillSchool@NorthwesternU. She grounded the talk in research on media & psychology (👌🏼) & since I still consider myself a twitter noob here were my takeaways:
Consistency of engagement is more important than quantity of engagement. The algorithms reward you for regular logins, regular posts/engagement, regularly following people who share your interests. A minute of checking Twitter every day > bingeing on it once a week 🤳
Think about retweeting like a cocktail party 🍸🍸- connecting people or passing on good info that may be useful to others. Don’t retweet without reading something - RTing can come across as if you are endorsing something (even if you say RT doesn’t equal endorsement in your bio)
