Week 7- Finishing Data Collection

Anagha N -

Hi everyone!

Welcome back. This week I finished the content analysis aspect of my project. I analyzed 4 more sources this week and I now have 17 sources that I have graded using my rubric. Now that I have finished the content analysis, I plan to make a list of things that the authors’ of those sources did that improved or hindered accessibility. Then I can use that list to help make my resource and to present my findings for my presentation.

For the survey, I received 12 responses. I hope to get 15 responses or more so I will continue distributing my survey till the end of this week. Once I get enough surveys, I will format the responses for each question onto a table so it will be easier to point out similar responses or outliers.

Now that I am almost done collecting data, I am starting to create my own resource. First, I am starting off with the pamphlet/brochure. I am going to use Canva for the template and the notes from my content analysis to format the content. I plan to create my own drawings to illustrate how vaccinations and titers work and how diseases are contracted. I also plan to discuss the pros (prevention)  and cons (side effects) of vaccines, which is something some of the sources I analyzed did not include. Lastly, I am going to consult Dr. Rai and guidelines from the AAHA to make sure all the content is accurate.

That is all the updates I have this week.

See you next time.

    Hey Anagha! I love all the work you are doing (content analysis, survey, and pamphlet)! Keep it up! For the content analysis, have you noticed any patterns or surprising findings across the 17 sources that you've analyzed?

    Great work, Anagha! Your approach to making pet vaccination info more accessible is really valuable. Do you think the pamphlet will be enough to bridge the communication gap between vets and pet owners?

    Hi Anagha, sounds great. I am also interested in any surprising findings from the sources you looked at. Do any of them mention the efficacy of materials like brochures?

    Hi Allison! Thank you for the question. After analyzing these sources, I found that many of them do not include relevant photos or drawings to help visualize concepts. Many resources also often overlook talking about vaccination titers as well.

    Hi Rahul! That is a great question. So, the pamphlet will facilitate communication by clearing up common misunderstandings and dispelling myths. However there are other factors involved such as the vet's communication style and the owners' willingness to listen that impact communication. So, at the end of the day the pamphlet on its own isn't enough to bridge the communication gap, but it can definitely improve it.

    Hi Mrs.Bennett! Thank you for the question. Some surprising findings that I noticed was that many sources didn't have photos when explaining concepts. For example, when explaining how vaccinations and titers worked it would have been helpful if those sources had drawings to illustrate those mechanisms. None of the sources I reviewed mentioned the efficacy of brochures, but one source that I am using in my literature review found that 9/10 brochures were above the recommended reading level. So existing brochures are not always reaching their audience.
