Research outreach

Health communication research

As a faculty member at a land-grant institution and as someone with a strong interest in conducting research that can be used to benefit the health of populations, I want to share content and resources, when possible.

Willoughby in front of research postersAs part of my dissertation, I worked with a North Carolina non-profit to create a social marketing campaign to promote a sexual health text message service to youth. The work received a University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Graduate Education Advancement Board Impact Award in 2014.

Since joining WSU, I have continued to focus on research projects that also have application for health communication. If there is a project from a manuscript that you think might be useful for your health communication efforts, please feel free to email me at jessica.willoughby@wsu.edu. I’m happy to provide materials and information as available.
