In a changing health communication landscape brought on by technology and new media, HCIRB would like to engage scholars and practitioners from multiple disciplines in areas such as:

• Descriptive behavior research to characterize user-generated content and interactions relevant to health
  • Natural Language Processing-assisted quantitative methods, network analysis and sentiment analysis
• Dynamic health intervention design through Web 2.0 technologies: to measure exposure, reach and engagement
  • Nimble and rapid experimental design
  • Systems science and engineering
  • Mixed methods approaches
  • Leveraging unique functions of participative media (e.g. peer support and connection; enabling authentic  voices of individuals)
• Addressing the digital divide and digital literacy from a health equity perspective
