Shared decision making tool for returning to sport post concussion
- I conducted over 24 in depth face-to-face interviews with parent and youth users, where youth users had sustained a concussion and they dyad had to decide whether the youth returned to playing sport after their concussion recovery. Qualitative coding was performed on all interview data, producing key findings to inform tool development and execution.
- I conducted over 12 co-design sessions with parent and youth users to pilot a new shared decision making tool. In particular, insights from these interviews and design sessions created a tool that can be deployed with user families and their medical provider in order to increase decision making among all users and decrease risk in returning to sport post concussion recovery for at risk users.

Family shared decision making surrounding media: Building a shared decision making tool for the American Academy of Pediatrics Website
- I conducted 10 online dyadic user interviews and 10 online individual user interviews with parents and youth users who consume media in their daily lives, particularly focusing on understandings of how media affects health outcomes on the individual and family levels.
- I conducted 20 online usability sessions with users (both dyadic users and individual users), resulting in clear recommendations for what content is preferred most by users on the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) website.
- I performed qualitative coding on all data, including creating coding frameworks and codebooks in order to produce insights to build a shared decision making tool to be incorporated on the AAP website. This project produced key deliverables for how to improve the AAP website in order to increase current health and media knowledge for users and also which content is preferred by users to learn about digital health.

Evaluating the effectiveness of tailored sexual assault prevention campaigns
- I surveyed over 600 young adult users with exposure to 3 sexual assault prevention campaigns, tailored differently based on user location (Seattle, Bothell, Tacoma), evaluating 1) exposure to campaign; 2) effectiveness of tailored campaign; 3) preferred tailoring designs to produce greater future campaign engagement
- In preparation of survey development, I gathered information from campaign stakeholders at each user location who were implementing the current campaign. Taking stakeholder goals and information into consideration, I identified variables for statistical analysis that would be essential in order to produce key insights for each stakeholder, their users, and their campaigns.
- Results from this survey were analyzed and key outcomes were written into a final report delivered to each stakeholders. Results indicated tailoring aspects (i.e., content word choice, marketing style of campaign) to produce more effective campaign results, increase user engagement, and ultimately decrease sexual assault at each location. A final report was written and provided to stakeholders indicating how to reduce campaign cost while increasing user engagement.
- This project was conducted at the University of Washington in 2019. Read more about this project, its publications, and conference presentations here.
Evaluating intergenerational online health information searching and brokering: Framing health literacy as a family asset
- Latino populations are disproportionately impacted by health disparities and face both connectivity and health literacy challenges. As evidenced by the current global pandemic, access to reliable online health-related information and the ability to apply that information is critical to achieving health equity. This project evaluated how Latino families collaborate to access online health resources as a family-level mechanism.
- I conducted 24 face-to-face interviews with parent-child dyad users over the span of 3 in-person visits with users, interviewing them about health literacy challenges and recording user online search tasks in order to understand how families integrate their individual skillsets to obtain, process, and understand online information about illnesses, symptoms, and medical diagnoses.
- I conducted in-home search tasks with dyad users to reveal that when children are tasked with addressing a health need critical to their parent's wellbeing, they collaborate with their parents to obtain, interpret, and apply online health information. In particular, this project contributes to research on information and communication technologies (ICTs), indicating that intergenerational online health information searching and brokering produces family-level strengths that can be leveraged to promote both health and digital literacy among marginalized populations.
- This project was conducted with Drs. Carmen Gonzalez and Jason Yip at the University of Washington. Read more about this project and its publications here.
