A Youtube video made by Stanford medicine that shares what Measles are: a highly contagious, vaccine preventable, virus. The dangers of measles and how to prevent infection.

The target audience is the general public, educate them on the importance of vaccines.

The information provided is evidence based, the information matches this scholarly journal: Kondamudi, N.P., Tobin E. H., & Waymack, J. R. (2025). Measles. In StatPeartls. StatPearls Publishing. Retrieved from https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK448068/

The artifact gives a good look at how easily transmissible the measles are.

I would consider that not everyone speaks english and would be able to understand the video.

This short video warned Americans in the United States that the measles outbreak is spreading.

Target audience are those living in the United States and live in West Texas.

i cant find any scholarly Journal to compare this artifact to. However, they did cite John Hopkins university.

This information is updating the public that the outbreak is continuing to grow and shows no signs of slowing down, with 1200 confirmed cases.

This article did not have CC, so those who are deaf would not have access to this information.

This artifact is a video by Dr. Rubin, who shares a devastating complication of Measles subacute Sclerosing panencephalitis. He discusses what it is and how it affects you.

Target audience would be the general public who still believes measles, is no big deal and just a rash.

This information is evidence based and backed up by this article: Rocke, Z., & Belyayeva, M. (2023). Subacute Sclerosing panencaphalitis. In StatPearls. StatPearls Publishing. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK560673/

This artifact is helpful by showing the serious complications of measles and debunking the myth that it is just a rash.

One consideration for diversity that I am finding while looking at artifacts related to measles, is that many of the children shown are white. This could lead POC to feel like this is a virus that doesn't affect them.

This artifact was found on instagram and shows the efficacy of the measles vaccine.

Target audience would be for those who are skeptical about receiving or getting the vaccine for their children.

I could not find a scholarly journal that is directly correlated to the graph presented on this artifact, however, i was able to find an article that does agree with the efficacy of measles vaccination. La Torre, G., Saulle, R., Unim, B., Meggiolaro, A., Barbato, A., Mannoci, A., & Spades, A. (2017). The effectiveness of Measles-mumps-rubella vaccination in the prevention of pediatric hospitalizations for targeted and untargeted infections: a retrospective cohort study. Human vaccines & immunotherapeutics, 13(8), 1879-1883. https://doi.org/10.1080/21645515.20

Target audience would be antivaxxers who believe the vaccine is similar to the flu vaccine and is not very effective, and you will still "get the measles anyways".

This artifact is easy to understand and easily accessible. The only downside is that it is on a social media platform, that not everyone may use.

NPR website discusses which adults would benefit from the MMR vaccine.

Target audience would be adults over the age of 50.

The artifact is scholarly based, it cites the CDC website. This is the link included: Measles Vaccination | Measles (Rubeola) | CDC

This artifact is informing adults who may be considering getting the MMR vaccine, or wondering if their previous vaccine is still effective in preventing Measles.

Accessibility limits of this artefact is it does not address the fact many adults are unsure of their vaccine records, and it does not address possible long-term effects of having multiple doses of the vaccine.

This artefact gets straight to the point. The vaccine is safe and is 97% effective at preventing measles.

Target audience would be parents to children, wondering if they should vaccinate their child against measles.

The information is evidence based due to its reference of the American Academy of Pediatrics. https://www.aap.org/en/patient-care/measles/

This artefact can improve public health by spreading the word to get your child vaccinated.

Although the artefact is easy to read, this artefact is on social media platform Instagram, which is not used by everyone. The image is text only, so it does not reflect different families.

This artefact was found on the internet, and discusses the outlook of measles aroudn the world, and the WHO response/agenda.

Target audience would be the general public who want to educate themselves on measles, but also healthcare workers and advocates, who want knowledge on how to better help fight against the virus.

The artefact is evidence based because it was found on the WHO website. https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/measles

This artefact helps educate and bring awareness and also helps fight misinformation that may be spreading.

WHO may not be easily accessible by everyone, especially those without access to the internet. However, it does offer the article in multiple languages and has POC representation in photos.

This was a cool find, i was watching the Pitt on HBO, and a teenage patient came in with measles. The mother of the patient was very skeptical about vaccines/healthcare procedures. The ER doctor attempted to educate mother on safety of Measles vaccine.

Target audience would be the general public as an education on how measles can progress into dangerous territory and importance of vaccines.

There are many scholarly journals that discuss the measles vaccine and its efficacy and its safety. Misin, A., Antonello, R. M., Di Bella, S., Campisciano, G., Zanotta, N., Giacobbe, D. R., Comar, M., & Luzzati, R. (2020). Measles: An Overview of a Re-Emerging Disease in Children and Immunocompromised Patients. Microorganisms, 8(2), 276. https://doi.org/10.3390/microorganisms8020276

This artefact shows the importance of vaccines and the potential complications of measles outbreaks. It also highlights that not everyone will get the same symptoms.

I found this artefact on HBO max, which means not everyone will have access to this. Its also in english and not available in other languages.
