- 요약Visual health messaging has become an increasingly important public health tool, with data visualizations comprising a significant share of public health communications. This dissertation examines multimodal COVID-19 and flu vaccine messages designed to influence vaccine attitudes and behavioral intentions, addressing three key questions: Can interactivity in health messaging influence vaccine attitudes? Can data visualizations effectively change vaccine perceptions? Furthermore, given the polarized nature of vaccine attitudes and the growing influence of visual health messages in public health, this research explores how visual message features persuade, ultimately addressing the question: What theoretical mechanisms support visual health messaging to political partisans? Chapter 1 starts with an introduction to vaccination trends in the United States, and then explores potential message features that are used in health messaging, including targeted and tailored health messages, and visual health messaging, and ways that data visualizations have been studied as persuasive tools. The chapter also outlines unexpected and null results in these types of studies. The chapter concludes with a methodological description of three empirical chapters.Chapter 2 examines message interactivity as a tool for tailoring health messages, comparing interactive versus static flu vaccination dashboards. Results show that interactive dashboards are not more impactful at changing perceived flu susceptibility. However, considering the multimodal aspect of a dashboard, message recall is significantly higher when there is header text on the dashboard. Chapter 3 explores message tailoring for political partisans, empirically testing multimodal autonomy-confirming language in flu and COVID-19 vaccine messages that incorporate text and images together. Results demonstrate that autonomy-confirming language is more effective for ideologically conservative parents at improving vaccine confidence. This study serves to highlight the need for differential messaging strategies for political partisans, which is further explored in the following chapter.Chapter 4 serves as a cautionary tale in multimodal vaccine messaging. Again, looking at multimodal vaccine messages, this study manipulates data visualizations by adding political party information to state-based flu vaccination data, testing whether such political cues affect vaccination intentions. Instead of differential effects by pollical affiliation, results show that providing political cues on data visualizations increase perceived health politicization for both Democrats and Republicans, and that health politicization mediates decreased vaccine intentions.Together, the studies explore facets of multimodal vaccine messaging, adding to the body of literature for visual health messaging and health politicization. Key findings include that data visualizations are an important of visual health information that can effectively change perceived severity of vaccine-preventable disease, particularly when accompanied by explanatory text. However, messages should be tailored to political partisans, using autonomy-based language in vaccine decision-making. Importantly, data visualizations can unintentionally induce feelings of health politicization when presenting differences in vaccination behavior by political party, with politicization feelings subsequently mediating vaccine behaviors. Public health practitioners increasingly present public health statistics by important demographics to help target interventions and this dissertation provides evidence that caution should be used when showing data by political party affiliation, as such presentations may reinforce beliefs about partisan vaccination behaviors. While visual, multimodal health messages can be effective tools for providing information to the public, they require careful tailoring when addressing politicized health topics such as vaccination.
