Why Use Upstream Social Marketing • A social determinant may seem – Too big to tackle – Out of bounds because it is not specifically healthrelated • Can’t understand many health problems without acknowledging predisposing causal factors

Why Use Upstream Social Marketing • Social marketing is appropriate – whenever you have a behavior to influence – for motivating a bureaucrat to implement new or existing laws or regulations that would contribute to increase social welfare

Processes of Change Positive outcomes and ROI Reduced utilization Reinforcement Management: Finding intrinsic and extrinsic rewards for new ways of working; Environmental Reevaluation: Appreciating that the change will have a positive impact on the social and work environment; Self-Liberation: Believing that a change can succeed and making a firm commitment to the change Self-Reevaluation: Appreciating that the change is important to one’s identity, happiness, and success Dramatic Relief: Emotional arousal, such as fear about failures to change and inspiration for successful change Consciousness Raising: Becoming more aware of a problem and potential solutions Moving to a Health Agenda 20

Customer Orientation • Customer in the round’ Develops a robust understanding of the audience, based on good market and consumer research, combining data from different sources – A broad and robust understanding of the customer is developed, which focuses on understanding their lives in the round, avoiding potential to only focus on a single aspect or features – Formative consumer / market research used to identify audience characteristics and needs, incorporating key stakeholder understanding – Range of different research analysis, combining data (using synthesis and fusion approaches) and where possible drawing from public and commercial sector sources, to inform understanding of people’s everyday lives

Insight • Based on developing a deeper ‘insight’ approach – focusing on what ‘moves and motivates’ – Focus is clearly on gaining a deep understanding and insight into what moves and motivates the customer – Drills down from a wider understanding of the customer to focus on identifying key factors and issues relevant to positively influencing particular behaviour – Approach based on identifying and developing ‘actionable insights’ using considered judgement, rather than just generating data and intelligence

Health in Higher Education • Health in higher education supports 18 million students in 4, 200 IHEs • Many college and university professionals work in higher education to promote health – 250 professionally prepared ACHA HEs - 1: 72, 000* – 19, 000 faculty and staff – 1: 947 • Health problems – Campus wide – Specific to college or major • Influences quality and productivity * See notes section 23

Traditional Health Programs • Use the Medical Model – Health services has primary responsibility – Staff trained in clinical practice • Health care agenda focus is on the physical – Healing sickness/injury – Wellness for physical health • Methods focus on the individual – Awareness activities, written information, didactic presentations 24

The Traditional Approach • Limits our understanding of health – Physical health is what counts most – Ignores role of environment/community on health – Lacks prevention focus • Financially costly and ineffective – Lacks cost-effectiveness, positive ROI, reach, impact • Removes responsibility for health outcomes by non-health entities – Gives medical systems a lot of power 25

Traditional Health Programs • Based on tradition, convention, belief, anecdotal evidence • Pressure to be seen as acting • Desire to help • Poorly developed skills and understanding of population behaviour change • Short term policy planning, budgeting and review 26

Social Marketing Commercial vs. Social • Marketing is about behavior change – The bottom line – ROI and CEA • If your intervention won’t change behavior – Don’t do it!!!! • Theory – Distillation of previous work – Simplify complex phenomena

The Ecological Perspective The science and art of helping people change their lifestyle to move toward a state of optimal health…. Lifestyle change can be facilitated through a combination of efforts to enhance awareness, change behavior, and create environments that support good health practices. Of the three, supportive environments will probably have the greatest impact in producing lasting changes. • M. P. O’Donnell, American Journal of Health Promotion (1986) 37
