DESCRIPTION
Building a Better Message: The 10 Variables That Really Matter (The Reason)Galen Cole, PhD, MPH, LPCCenters for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, GADr. Cole provides the background and purpose of the Message Development Tool (MDT) and describes theresults of the expert panel meeting that assisted in the tool’s design. CDC’s Division of Cancer Preventionand Control created the Web-based MDT to enable health communicators to systematically and scientificallydevelop and validate effective health messages. Message mapping is a proven communication tool to delivercomplex information in an easy-to-understand format for emergency and risk communication situations;however, such a tool does not currently exist for chronic disease messages.

The Problems:
•Smart people communicate as if as if it were an easy thing to do
•We have used message mapping extensively. It’s good tool for preparing and delivering complex information in an easy to understand format. However, it’s designed for emergency and risk communication situations.
•CDC has not adopted a tool/process for systematically developing and testing chronic disease messages.
•Health Communicators need additional support in in developing and defending developing and defending systematically derived and tested chronic disease messages.
•Communicators encounter Communicators encounter numerous barriers to “real-time” testing of segment-focused messages.

Web-based and model-based decision support systems (DSS) have been shown to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of organizational decision making.
•low cost
•require little user training
•increase productivity
•speed the decision making process without regard to geographic limitations
•facilitate the collection of multiple perspectives on decision problems
•support collaboration by building virtual team structures
•Encourage a more standardized, evidence based approach
•Easier to evaluate

The concept for the tool was created using an innovative and collaborative design process:
•review of the literature and interviewed key informants,
•identification of an empirical model on which to base the tool,
•Received validation and design input from an expert panel, and
•Conducted wireframe prototype design and user testing.

The empirical model The empirical model for assessing message effectiveness based on key message variables.
•The Keller and Lehmann (2008) model provides 10 variables that are significant provides 10 variables that are significant predictors for stated intentions and predictors for stated intentions and behavior. behavior.
•The model has been validated through its application to the CDC Verb campaign (2004-2006).

CDC DCPC and ORISE used an evidence-based and expert-recommended guided approach to create the Message Development Tool.
The experts will continue to be involved in prototype testing and tool dissemination by serving as mentors for new users.

A panel of fifteen health communications experts was convened in March 2011 to :
•validate use of the algorithm
•Helped us create, refine and prioritize tool content and features,
•inform tool usability, dissemination and management,
•gain early buy-in from partners in the field of health communication.
Collaboration software allowed panelists to answer each question and react to others input in real time.

User testing in June 2011 refined the MDT wireframe prototype and further explored findings of the expert panel.
User testing goals were to:
•Confirm general concept for the Message Development Tool's process flow. •Understand user preferences for the main actions and features within the Message Development Tool.
•Gather preliminary ideas on nomenclature for the Tool and some of its components. •Collect preliminary information on access and preferred channels for dissemination.

The new tool will help health communicators create and defend better messages by:
•using key variables
•tailoring messages to their health problem and target audience
•providing talking-points on the evidence and science behind the use of key variables
The new tool will also contribute to research on effective message development. User User feedback will be collected to identify required feedback will be collected to identify required updates to the Keller and Lehmann modelupdates to the Keller and Lehmann model.
