Cultural Relevance in Behavior Change Campaigns
How did humor, mariachi music and the loving figure of an abuela (grandma) help increase COVID-19 vaccination rates among Washington state’s Hispanic population? Find out during this presentation of two award-winning Hispanic-focused campaigns—“Vacúnate Mijo/Mija” and “Mentira Mariachi”—developed by Hispanic community members to address vaccine misinformation and lack of vaccination urgency through culturally relevant cues, ultimately helping increase the state’s Hispanic vaccination rates by 21 percentage points.
