We have a 15-year track record of creating culturally-tailored science-based content using our evidence-based frameworks for health behavior change, the Multisensory Multilevel Health Education Model and Child-Mediated Health Communication that focuses on young people as messengers and intergenerational advocates for health promotion interventions with their families, peers and communities. Founded by Dr. Olajide Williams of Columbia University, a world-renowned leader in community based behavioral intervention research, the Hip Hop Public Health transdisciplinary team is a unique collective blending socially conscious creatives along with health and education professionals, public health researchers, physicians, and behavioral scientists led by public health and education leader Lori Rose Benson. Hip Hop Public Health's founding artist, the legendary Doug E. Fresh, has cultivated an iconic and dedicated artist advisory council including Darryl DMC McDaniels from Run DMC, Cheryl "Salt" James, Chuck D, Jordin Sparks and Ashanti in addition to multi-platinum music composers, producers, choreographers, editors and animators. In order to mitigate health disparities that can be influenced by health communication, we believe that public health and education interventions should be designed with a greater emphasis on the science of human attention and cultural factors related to behavior change. This is the background behind the development of our Multisensory Multilevel Health Education Model (MMHEM), which we have used to develop and successfully test health communication media resources targeting communities of color through NIH funded research. MMHEM incorporates art, culture and science across different levels of an individuals' social and physical environment. Our evidence-driven model is based on the premise that art and science exist along the same continuum - a symbiosis at the heart of our health communication resources. This is why so many art forms have powerful health benefits, and why music - which occupies more neural real estate in the brain than language itself - improves our mood, enhances learning, reduces stress and cements memories. Indeed, the most effective health education is one that creates an immersive experience and not just an age-appropriate lecture. Art is immersive, whether in the form of a captivating mural or a classical music symphony - and by adding cultural relevance, art becomes even more resonant. At HHPH, hip hop music represents the Art domain of our Health Education model. Hip hop is a particularly effective learning tool due to its ability to incorporate multiple literary devices, such as rhymes and spaced repetition which are known to enhance learning and memory. It is also a cultural tool that enables tailoring to certain communities while incorporating credible messengers (hip hop icons, celebrities, etc.) in its delivery. Moreover, as the most popular genre in the US, hip-hop music has mass appeal. HHPH'S 200+ evidence-driven, STANDARDS-BASED RESOURCES ARE AVAILABLE FOR FREE AND CAN BE ACCESSED through our online Learning Studio (https://www.hhph.org/work/learning-studio). In Fall 2023, Educator Toolkits with lesson plans, classroom resources and family materials will also be available. FOR more than FIFTEEN YEARS, HIP HOP PUBLIC HEALTH'S WORK HAS BEEN DEEPLY ROOTED IN ACHIEVING HEALTH EQUITY BY HARNESSING THE TRANSFORMATIVE POWER OF MUSIC, ART AND SCIENCE TO IMPROVE HEALTH LITERACY AND INSPIRE BEHAVIOR CHANGE. TODAY, AS WE confronted the long-reaching consequences of the Covid- 9 pandemic and the increasing mental health crisis COUPLED WITH SYSTEMIC RACIAL INJUSTICE, WE ARE REMINDED WHY OUR WORK IS SO IMPORTANT;WHY HIP HOP PUBLIC HEALTH WAS BORN; WHY IT IS CRITICAL FOR US TO EMERGE FROM THIS MOMENT KNOWING THAT WE DID EVERYTHING WE COULD TO HELP CLOSE THE DISPARITY GAPS AND SAVE LIVES.
