Background: In this study, we use community-based participatory processes to engage community and academic partners in a meaningful exchange to identify and pilot test risk communication strategies for Zika virus prevention and control. Methods: Community members were actively involved in planning, developing, and implementing a risk communication initiative. Qualitative and quantitative data gathered through individual interviews, focus groups, and community advisory board input provided information for the identification of relevant risk communication strategies to increase the understanding about Zika virus and to promote behavior change. To examine its impact we obtained baseline and follow-up data from a random sample of 75 community residents. A face-to-face interview was conducted to assess community members’ knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors regarding Zika virus infection. Results: Study activities focused on three risk communication strategies: Zika awareness health fair, health education through theater, and community forums and workshops. The risk communication initiative was implemented over a two-month period. Findings from baseline and follow-up data demonstrated significant positive changes in respondents’ recognition of personal and community responsibility for the prevention of Zika infection, increased knowledge of prevention strategies, and enhanced engagement in preventive behaviors for mosquito control. Conclusion: Our findings sustain the benefits of community based participatory research for the design and implementation of risk communication strategies that are relevant to enable residents in low-income communities to take informed decisions for the protection against Zika virus and other mosquito-borne diseases.

Abstract The spread of COVID-19 is increasingly massive and it involves local transmission. Facing these issues, community-based risk reduction is truly needed. This study aims to describe the society-based risk communication for COVID-19 disaster prevention through “Keep the Village” program, called Jaga Kampung. This study used a qualitative approach by collecting data through interviews with COVID-19 response volunteers in the Jaga Kampung program in Riau Province, Indonesia. This study finds out that the Jaga Kampung program has the aim to prevent the spread of COVID-19, maintain security stability, and protect people's food needs. The implementation of these activities involves the collaboration of communication actors from the police and the army who works in the village, village leader, village health worker, society leader, and volunteer. The officers of Jaga Kampung convey education and socialization of health risks humanistic and persuasively to villagers and newcomers. Communication is done through face-to-face, outdoor media, and social media such as WhatsApp, Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram. This community-based risk communication can increase society's participation in the prevention of COVID-19 so that the health and socio-economy of society is maintained.

This article describes the design, implementation, and evaluation of a sexual-risk prevention program focused on the development of individual competencies and cultural norms promoting healthy sexual decision making. The community-based peer-facilitated intervention targeted adolescents and young adult men and women in Sri Lanka, who participated in small-group activities targeting sexual knowledge, attitudes, and practices; risk perception; and sexual-risk decision making. The intervention and evaluation tools were based on formative research data collected from members of the target population. Researchers from Sri Lanka and North America collaborated with local community health workers and community members in formative data collection and program development. The pilot intervention project was successful in improving sexual-risk perception and decision making, and (for women) knowledge of condoms and sexual terminology. The use of group process showed promise as a tool for fostering negotiation of perspectives and consensus building regarding sexuality and sexual risks. The lessons learned from this project can inform the development of culture-specific sexual-risk prevention programs worldwide.
