| The Hispanic/Latino Initiative
For the Center for Substance Abuse Prevention, Macro manages the Hispanic/Latino Initiative, aimed at preventing substance abuse among young Hispanics. This initiative is separated into several phases that each target a different audience, including Hispanic parents and other adults involved with youth (Hablemos en Confianza) and Hispanic girls and their mothers (Soy Unica! Soy Latina!). We conduct outreach to the target groups through a mix of print and audiovisual materials, activities, and Web sites, tailored to appeal to each audience segment.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC's) Injury Center
To assist the CDC's Injury Center in promoting its research agenda, Macro identified eight target audiences whose support would be needed to implement the agenda effectively. Through a series of workshops with Injury Center staff and key informant interviews with audience members, we developed audience profiles describing their communications needs, barriers, message themes, and channel preferences.
