Introduction: Contributions of Communication
• Many fields focus on prevention and/or interventions
• Communication expertise in content but how to apply?
• How to optimally refine programs to use theory to maximize interventions and message content

Example: Active Involvement Interventions
• Limited intervention opportunities (time, cost)
• Little theoretical guidance for which intervention components are crucial or “active”
• Emphasize how to involve participants in interventions
• What is the theory behind using message planning or production?

Active Involvement Interventions (AIIs)
• Two categories of interventions using message planning
• 1. Adolescents create messages as strategy for message development (e.g., CBPR)

Active Involvement Interventions (AIIs)
• Two categories of interventions using message planning
• 2. Adolescents develop/plan as a strategy for influence within an intervention
• Develop Theory of Active Involvement (TAI)
• Greene, K. (in press). The Theory of Active Involvement: Processes underlying interventions that engage adolescents in message planning and/or production. Health Communication.

Theory of Active Involvement (TAI)
• Grounded in social cognitive theory (Bandura, 1986)
• Notion of self-regulation
• Create intervention to emphasize multiple perspective taking and evaluating discrepancy
• Emphasize engagement with intervention as a key missing component to date [and knowledge and skills as secondary to lasting change]
• Greene, K. (in press). The Theory of Active Involvement: Processes underlying interventions that engage adolescents in message planning and/or production. Health Communication.

Media Literacy (ML) as an example of AII
New and promising avenue for prevention
– ML expands traditional literacy and uses literacy tools to analyze media
– ML training can include analysis and production (or planning) components
ML training/interventions addressing alcohol– Overall favorable results (i.e., reduction in specific beliefs, attitudes, and intentions) for elemen. and middle school kids
– Can improve cognitive resistance to ads

Critiques of ML Interventions
• Lack of clarity about the causal process– No explanations of why and how the participants change attitude and/or behavior when exposed to these programs
• Failure to form students’ engagement– ML interventions generally fail to form students’ motivation to resist such influences (focus on knowledge or skill acquisition)
• Unclear optimal dose and length of expected effects
• Rarely tailored– Missing adequate tailoring to the cognitive capabilities and
developmental stage of the target audience

Initial Study: Smoking
• Targeting middle school smoking using ML intervention in 2 schools, 2 lesson intervention (about 75 minutes)
• 3 conditions: control, analysis, planning• Planning reported negative anti-smoking attitudes and lower
intentions to smoke; analysis also less favorable smoking attitudes and intentions than control
• Thus:– Planning > Analysis > Control
• Produce evidence that involving adolescents actively in generating messages provides a more powerful strategy of using ML in prevention

NIDA Study 2010-2012
• Grounded in theories of persuasion and information processing; designed to test hypotheses about the process of cognitive change
• Feasibility of a brief ML intervention (limited resources)
• Planning versus analysis conditions
• Alcohol-focused
• Brief (90 minutes)

Structure of YMD Curriculum (+ ex’s, discussion)
• Introduction
• Target audience, persuasion techniques (4 main ones), claims
• Activity 1: Analyze alcohol ad in group
• Counter-arguing or missing from ads, anti-ads
• Attention, production techniques
• Activity 2: Planning anti-alcohol poster
• Conclusion (and evaluation)

Phase 1 – 2010 Pilot of preliminary curriculum: Students
Method•149 10th grade high school students (ages 14-16; M = 15.57, SD = .61) •32 schools across Pennsylvania attending Leadership Institute
Results
•The pilot poster planning students viewed the intervention as more novel (t(146) = -2.92, p < .001) and more involving (t(146) = -2.23, p < .01).
•Perceptions of novelty and involvement were significantly correlated with perceived gain (novelty r = .18, involvement r = .41; p < .001), reflectiveness (novelty r = .24, involvement r = .47; p < .001), alcohol use intentions (involvement r = -.15, p < .01), and alcohol expectancies (involvement r = -.16, p < .01).

Phase 2: 2010 Pilot of preliminary curriculum: Mentors
Method
•Mentors accompany students (N = 40; ages 20 to 65, M = 37.38, SD = 13.05) also evaluated the curriculum.
•Teachers (64%), counselors (14.5%), administrators (6.5%), youth agency workers (4%), or other (11%).
Results
•Mentors reported planning was more involving (t(38) = -3.48, p < .001), enjoyable (t(38) = -2.57, p < .01), interesting (t(38) = -3.24, p < .001), less boring (t(38) = -3.39, p < .001), more likely to work well in their school (t(38) = -2.81, p < .001), different from the regular classes (t(38) = -1.91, p < .05); perceived structure would facilitate curriculum adoption (t(37) = -1.75, p < .05).

•Active involvement interventions
– Theory about process
– Necessary and sufficient components
•Ensuring that interventions can be utilized by community partners
•How communication scholars can contribute to this question
