Description
- Abstract
- The need for health literacy and a diverse, socially-conscious health workforce is more evident than ever after two and a half years navigating a global pandemic, and growing mental health and environmental health crises. This proposal from PBS newshour student reporting labs (SRL), a teen-driven program from the nation's most trusted news source, builds from the successes of previous sepa work to provide high school youth with: 1.) tools to create evidence-based and ethically responsible journalism (primarily 1-4 minute videos) about critical health issues that impact their communities; 2.) introductions and inroads to health science careers that use storytelling to engage a diverse range of students; and 3.) strategies for effective communication around health science, including intergenerational dialogue and social media best-practices, for the general public. The initiative will provide a strong foundation of support for teens, educators, and other sepa program leaders to produce high-quality content distributed to peers through an extensive student journalism network, online learning platforms, and traditional and digital broadcasting. A previous sepa summative evaluation largely serves as the front-end evaluation for this proposed project. Researchers at knology will use year 1 to update all evaluation instruments and create a mixed-methods evaluation with students and educators in years 2-4 of the grant for both formative and summative purposes. Findings will measure the impact on programs and participants, including other sepa projects, and result in a map of the full ecosystem of health learning opportunities created during the grant period and their effectiveness, including student-created stories, health practitioner profiles, lesson plans and other learning opportunities. Student-produced videos will be supplemented with expertly- crafted educational resources distributed to a wide national audience of teachers, formal and informal educators, and stem program leaders. Through these elements - student health journalism, health science career content, and storytelling strategies for science communication - the project will drive engagement and understanding around health science and public health in young people to support an informed, inquisitive, and involved citizenry.
