Here to talk abtNtl Prevention Information Networkâs Twitter Town Hall held 6/3.June 27th was the 16th observance of Natl HIV Testing Day. NPIN works with NAPWA and CDC to promote among prevention partners & encourage testing events.Build on momentum & add value by including social media this yr. Knew HIV/AIDS partners were on Twitter and exchanging info thereWe had been talking already about a Twitter chat. Another partner had done successful Twitter Town HallDanya proposed a Twitter Town Hall to promote NHTD activities among partners. CDCâs first.
Key Words here â ParticipationNew relationshipsBuilding reachConversationsNew strategiesBuilding followersSharing knowledge/capacity building
A recent user satisfaction evaluation of Twitter usage at CDC reported that 78% of Twitter users were very likely or likely to change their health behaviors based upon their experience with CDC tweets.
CDC Director Dr. Friedenâs tweets prepared in advance and sent out by one of the big CDC accounts - CDC e-HealthAccounts were set up for NCHHSTP Chief Medical Officer Dr. Douglas & Division of HIV AIDS Prevention Director Dr. MerminThey came to the Event Central in ATL, where assigned assistants posted their prepared tweets and helped post their responses to questions. The picture shows Dr. Mermin in the spirit of the moment commandeering his laptop from his assistant.
Twapper Keeper captured tweets and we exported them to Excel for analysis.Importance of participants in expanding reach of Town Hall.
Analyzed Twitter accounts to see if we reached our intended audience.
Did a conversational and sentiment analysis to determine kinds of conversations during Town Hall, and the emotional tone.Were prepared for potential negative tweets, about funding, criticism of CDC and had tweets prepared in advance, but didnât have one negative tweet.
Canât say that Town Hall caused the increase in event submissions, but we know that people who participated in Town Hall submitted eventsRelationships â weâve had ongoing relationships, and also seen people who connected in Town Hall build their relationshipsHow-To â We did a phone call with a partner in Missouri to give them Town Hall advice. Final Report serves as how-toOverview on ragan.com (online community for communicators) and follow-up blog post on AIDS.gov that generated comments
Twapper Keeper good, but still need human being to track when questions came in and from whom in order to respond. Run of Show, prepared tweets on logistics, facts, resources with pre-shortened links, all timed out so message doesnât get lost in fast flow of THContinued Use of Twitter â Team at USCA held TweetUps (meetings of followers on Twitter) and Twitterviews with NCHHSTP Director Dr. Fenton, Dr. Mermin and the Director of NASTAD (Natl Association of State and Territorial AIDS Directors).
For better or worse, Twitter lets you join or start a conversation across oceans, demographics, etc â As public health communicators, educators and advocates we need to continue to tap into the tremendous reach that social networks like Twitter are giving us.
