Hey Duke, Let’s Talk about sex Multimedia project by natalie, payal, & jack
The problem • Know Your Status Study • 90.7% of Duke students consider themselves as having “nonexistent” or “very low” risk for acquiring HIV • 55.4% of students interviewed exhibited “risky behavior,” such as unprotected sex. • 70% of students inaccurately assessed their risk of HIV infection • STI prevalence in the U.S. • By the age of 24, 1 in 3 sexually active people will have contracted an STI • 2/3 of all STIs occur in people 25 years of age and under • Lack of awareness at Duke • Many students are unaware of STI testing options, the confidentiality of STI tests, and the coverage of tests. • We’ve become desensitized to traditional PSA campaigns
Preliminary research • Research on risky behavior and lack of STI knowledge at Duke • Interview with Ms. Hanson at Student Health • Issues at Duke: • “I’m invincible!” • Need to promote safe sex practices • STI testing at student health • Student worries about lack of confidentiality/cost of testing • Insurance plans, HIPAA • History of STI testing at Duke • Feedback on poster and video campaign idea
Our goal • Educate the Duke population on STI prevalence • Promote condom use • Encourage STI testing • Provide information about STI testing
Achieving our goal • Poster campaign: • Catchy phrase • Piggy-back on a popular poster trend (Keep Calm and Carry On) • Use of humor • Video campaign: • Utilize visual elements • Use of Duke student narrative • Incorporate STI prevalence statistics • Include information on STI testing at Duke
Video and poster Prep • Video • Watched other “Draw My Life” videos • Engaging and relatable narratives • Storyboards • Preliminary sketches • Fitting a coherent narration • Posters • Research on successful/unsuccessful posters • Learning Adobe Photoshop on the fly
Video campaign • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qk0CFUDYQbE
What worked/What didn’t work • Original idea: • traditional PSA format with interviews at Student Health and Duke freshmen • Changes: • broaden our audience to all Duke Undergrads • steer away from standard PSA format • include more visual elements to engage the audience
