Provide a definition of a fotonovela upfront. Fotonovela, also known as novelas or novelitas,
are similar in format to that of a comic book. However, rather than illustrations, sequential
photographs are used accompanied by dialogue bubbles.
Efficacy will invoke questions about power, and whether you can detect differences. I would
use the term ‘promise.’
Significance… emphasize the importance and recognition of a fotonovela vs. cartoon among
Latinos.
So much emphasize on longitudinal design. I would emphasize as part of the goal, the first step
is to be able to obtain quality data from this population.
Unclear what the outcome for aim 2 is. ‘Survey completion’ – that doesn’t become fully clear
until I read your preliminary study section.
Wondering if you’d like to test how many participants you are able to recruit through each
method… fotonovelas vs. flyers.
Unclear what segment links vs. full survey means… the first group will only get part of the
survey?
Will you only using one social media platform or multiple?
Measures are odd since there is no aims to assess health outcomes, maybe a better objective
would be to assess socio-demographic differences by experimental arms or social media
platforms. Seems like a third aim is needed… to assess differences if socio-demographics, social,
economic, and structural differences vary by recruitment arm. Almost seems like a 4th arm, a
community sample should be included?
For clarity I would suggest saying that all participants will complete the same survey, but be
presented with it differently.
For aim 2 “We will recruit 150 LTAYs residing in Central Texas via social media” why limited to
Central Texas since its online and you can have a wider reach.
Social media—you’ll pay to promote the survey via these platforms, create a study account?
What are the procedures?
