Something that has fascinated us recently is the role culture plays in the emotional aspects of storytelling. The emotional response, its justification and the words used to describe it all are heavily influenced by an individual's identity and how they've learned to express themselves. In this episode, we discuss some of the culture differences when it comes to talking about pain and the importance of being a good listener. In our roles, we are listeners that support other listeners, whether its an HCP hearing their patients needs or members of a disease community propping each other up. Listening to someone's pain, however they express it, is how we learn and design successful outcomes for them..Like you'll hear us say many times in the episode, pain is a broad topic with many interesting facets to discuss and discover - and we intend to do more episodes on other aspects of pain in the future.

Doctors are in distress, and pandemic is not the only cause. For decades, the role of the healer has been evolving (or devolving, depending on whom you ask), both in our imaginations and in the literal conditions of labor for doctors. For the first episode of the new year, Sonika and I sit down with Vernon Bainton MD, Chief Medical Officer of Havas Lynx in the UK and a keen observer of all things medical, to discuss the Healing the Healers initiative and the evolution of doctoring in today's fast-paced, tech driven medical practice. Healing the Healers is a campaign developed by Havas Lynx powered by their proprietary Point.1 data. This unique dataset and ongoing analysis highlighted the staggering deterioration in healthcare professional wellbeing internationally and as a result the critical need for more effective and empathetic ways to communicate with HCPs.Head over to the Havas Lynx website to read more: https://havaslynx.com/thought-leadership/healing-the-healers/If you have any questions, feedback, or just want to say hi, email us at medicalanthropology@havas.comCheck out Breaking the Code on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/breaking-the-code-havas-health-and-you-podcast

Gen Z, currently a cohort entering young adulthood, is commonly referred as being the most progressive generation, but so were Millennials and Gen X when they were young adults. Conversations and findings about generations are often conflated with truths about life stages and aging. The idea that millennials are begrudgingly warming up to minivans is evidence of aging, not something unique to their generation--we all change when we form families and have a desire for more space. Gen X feeling that they're an ignored cohort in shadow of Baby Boomers, however, is unique and truly "generational" - a lifelong feeling that is tied to their life experiences in a way that other cohorts won't feel. This very special episode is a celebration of 1 year of Breaking the Code. The full team, Brad, Sonika and Gabriel sit down in front of the camera to take the BS out of over-generalized discussions about generational cohorts and coming of age. Thank you so much for listening to Breaking the Code in 2023! The feedback and discussion that comes from the episodes is a big part of why this is one of our favorite projects. We're breaking for the holidays and will be back with a new episode early in the new year.If you have any questions, feedback, or just want to say hi, email us at medicalanthropology@havas.comCheck out Breaking the Code on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/breaking-the-code-havas-health-and-you-podcast

There isn't an official list of everything that's considered taboo, but somehow we all have an instinctual sense of words and topics that are off limits. We even try not to invoke the word of some taboos, like death, so we say things like "passing away", "biting the dust", "pushing up daisies", and more). However, healthcare environments are one of the few places where taboos are openly discussed, so it's crucial that we know the best way to navigate those situations.In this episode we break down taboos, both cultural and universal. We broach a variety of taboos throughout, from mental health to the 3Ps, all so that we can derive solutions that aim to alleviate the shame that can come from having these uncomfortable conversations. These conversations are exceptionally critical to have in the health space, since the stigma and shame that result from overcoming taboos can serve as a life-threatening barrier between people and the help they need.If you have any questions, feedback, or just want to say hi, email us at medicalanthropology@havas.comCheck out Brad and Sonika's LinkedIn profiles to get notified when a new episode is out:https://www.linkedin.com/in/brad-davidson-3815222https://www.linkedin.com/in/sonikagarcia

Hair is defined as the "threadlike strands growing from the skin of humans and other mammals", but that does not begin to describe the social significance of your hair. Color, cut, and style are all part of a shared but often tacit set of rules and expectations, and the social evaluation of your hair (or your children's hair) is perceived as speaking volumes about your beliefs and place in a given culture or community. You can't avoid it: how you wear your hair says something about you, and losing your hair to a disease like alopecia robs you of that ability to "speak through your hair". In this episode we discuss key findings from a semiotic study of hair, the kind of analysis we do on a regular basis to study the visual signs in a given therapeutic or social sphere. e love doing these analyses because they uncover human truths in aspects of life that hide in plain sight, right before our eyes - or for this episode - right on top of our heads.If you have any questions, feedback, or just want to say hi, email us at medicalanthropology@havas.comCheck out Brad and Sonika's LinkedIn profiles to get notified when a new episode is out:https://www.linkedin.com/in/brad-davidson-3815222https://www.linkedin.com/in/sonikagarcia

"Task overload", or the related concepts of "information overload" and "task saturation", is a term developed to describe what happens when there is simply too much for our brains to do--a common occurrence in airline emergencies, spacecraft emergencies, and, unfortunately, everyday work loads in our modern medical systems. The consequences of task saturation are well understood,  lead to very poor decision making and leave very little room for interpersonal engagement, as the overwhelmed brain looks inwards for answers and shuts out further external engagement. This leads, inevitably, to plane crashes, space disasters, and, sadly, disconnected healthcare. Join us for this special edition as we discuss task saturation in healthcare with Havas' own Elisabetta Grioni, Chief Medical and Strategy Officer of Havas Life Milan, the impact of task saturation on the mental health of providers, and the impact of task overload on women in particular. If you have any questions, feedback, or just want to say hi, email us at medicalanthropology@havas.comCheck out Brad and Sonika's LinkedIn profiles to get notified when a new episode is out:https://www.linkedin.com/in/brad-davidson-3815222https://www.linkedin.com/in/sonikagarcia

Wanting "more" of anything we like seems to be a default human setting, even to the point of problematic excess. A packed closet means we have clothes to wear, an overstuffed fridge means we can eat, and a full wallet means we can buy even more of whatever we please. When Mae West famously said "too much of a good thing is wonderful", she probably wasn't thinking of a world awash in plastic garbage and a juvenile diabetes crisis that has sharps containers in middle schools throughout the US. This default heuristic that "more is better" has a counterpoint in "less is more", which is both paradoxical and a rallying cry for those who believe in "moderate consumption" throughout history (Lisa Kondo is not the originator of the minimalist aesthetic). Listen as we discuss both phrases and provide instances where more is more but where less is also more. The key is in the value framing of what's being offered and in making sure we are communicating what we gain--even with "less", the reward is "more". If you have any questions, feedback, or just want to say hi, email us at medicalanthropology@havas.comCheck out Brad and Sonika's LinkedIn profiles to get notified when a new episode is out:https://www.linkedin.com/in/brad-davidson-3815222https://www.linkedin.com/in/sonikagarcia

Death is an inevitable part of the human experience--OUR experience. But speaking about death, specifically how we want to spend our last months and days on earth when illness makes the end both visible and inevitable, is challenging. We find ourselves struggling to overcome taboos and other cultural and personal barriers to communication, and that leads, many think, to a large number of "bad" ICU deaths. Listen as we discuss the thoughts and conversations that do (and don't) occur when a someone is near death. You'll hear the thinking behind doctors resistance to telling patients that they're going to die and learn why we, as communication experts, should understand the varying priorities of someone at the end of their lifeIf you have any questions, feedback, or just want to say hi, email us at medicalanthropology@havas.comCheck out Brad and Sonika's LinkedIn profiles to get notified when a new episode is out:https://www.linkedin.com/in/brad-davidson-3815222https://www.linkedin.com/in/sonikagarcia

When designing interventions to improve the doctor-patient visit, we often forget that, in some sense, all doctor-patient conversations are cross-cultural. Doctors literally embody the clinic itself, as both its representatives and agents, whereas the patients simply represent themselves and their needs. When designing communication strategies for these interactions, we need to consider a patient's life experiences, culture, and health literacy, which includes things like expectations for how a "good doctor" will act and what their role is supposed to be. Power differentials are inherent in the engagement, and we need to account for this, as well--not every patient is comfortable "challenging" doctors or other institutional figures in the course of a medical interview, and if our interventions require that, they will fail for those patients. Patients that defer to a doctor's expertise need to be accounted for as much as patients that are looking for open dialogue about their treatment.In this episode, Brad recalls 3 anecdotes from doctor-patient interactions that he has previously observed. Each doctor is distinct but beloved by their patients, and each story reveals another layer into how we, as communication experts, should approach thinking about these interactions. Brad and Sonika dive into each of these stories and uncover insights related to regional cultures, power dynamics, and an inclusive method for doctors to meet any patient where they are. If you have any questions, feedback, or just want to say hi, email us at medicalanthropology@havas.comCheck out Brad and Sonika's LinkedIn profiles to get notified when a new episode is out:https://www.linkedin.com/in/brad-davidson-3815222https://www.linkedin.com/in/sonikagarcia

Trust in relationships, business, personal or otherwise, is built in large part on perceptions of honesty, which we gauge based on the perceived intent of the person in that relationship. It's more difficult for some to be seen as honest because of their perception as liars, someone who makes untrue claims, or worse, a palterer, someone who uses the truth dishonestly.Listen as Brad and Sonika discuss "paltering", a relatively uncommon term to describe a form of misleading behavior where one hides the truth by telling part, but not all, of the truth, with the intent of hiding the larger truth. Paltering is a rare word but a very common practice, one we as marketers engage in daily, and while lying-while-not-exactly-lying can feel more honest, to the receiver, it is as bad for building trust as outright lying, if not worse. If you have any questions, feedback, or just want to say hi, email us at medicalanthropology@havas.comCheck out Brad and Sonika's LinkedIn profiles to get notified when a new episode is out:https://www.linkedin.com/in/brad-davidson-3815222https://www.linkedin.com/in/sonikagarcia

Including your audience into the development process, with intentionality, is key in designing effective initiatives, campaigns, and products that do justice for them. Bringing the right people to the table is only the start - the hard part is incorporating their truths into an end result that properly represents them. The term inclusive design is becoming more popular, which is great, but it's essential, to groups that have been excluded for so long, that you're doing it right.Please enjoy this special 40 minute episode as we speak with Allison Ceraso (HH+) and Andre Gray (Annex88) on the nuances of inclusive design, where it stands today and how to move it forward.If you have any questions, feedback, or just want to say hi, email us at medicalanthropology@havas.comCheck out Brad and Sonika's LinkedIn profiles to get notified when a new episode is out:https://www.linkedin.com/in/brad-davidson-3815222https://www.linkedin.com/in/sonikagarcia

A doctor's dismissal of symptoms can be devastating for a patient. We know it's a problem, but what do we call it? There's a variety issues that's could be at the root of this dismissal. The answer may be Medical gaslighting - or it may not.Listen as we discuss the rapidly increasing prevalence of the term "Medical gaslighting", and how use of the term, due to its connotation, inadvertently accuses doctors of having malicious intent to mislead patients.If you have any questions, feedback, or just want to say hi, email us at medicalanthropology@havas.comCheck out Brad and Sonika's LinkedIn profiles to get notified when a new episode is out:https://www.linkedin.com/in/brad-davidson-3815222https://www.linkedin.com/in/sonikagarcia

We've all been in situations where our actions don't perfectly align with who we purport to be - to ourselves or others. These inconsistencies are much easier to spot in other people, like a nurse who treats with one philosophy and teaches at-home treatment with another or a patient in pain who doesn't fill the prescription given to them for that pain.Listen as we discuss cognitive dissonance, values in conflict and, ultimately, why our incoherent behavior means we are complicated, not crazy.If you have any questions, feedback, or just want to say hi, email us at medicalanthropology@havas.comCheck out Brad and Sonika's LinkedIn profiles to get notified when a new episode is out:https://www.linkedin.com/in/brad-davidson-3815222https://www.linkedin.com/in/sonikagarcia

Everyone in advertising is aware that our job is to "create emotional connections" with our audiences. While emotion is unarguably a strong driver of behavior change, emotion based interventions only work when we are able to correctly identify true emotions --this is something that our industry struggles with when it comes to doctors.  Doctor's emotions are not simply a mirror of their patient's emotions, nor are they always even related. Listen as we sit down with this week's guest, chief strategy officer Andrew Gardner, as we discuss how doctors actually feel, BS assumptions that are often made about how we think they feel, and approaches to insight generation that will help us get to more a more accurate understanding. If you have any questions, feedback, or just want to say hi, email us at medicalanthropology@havas.comCheck out Brad and Sonika's LinkedIn profiles to get notified when a new episode is out:https://www.linkedin.com/in/brad-davidson-3815222https://www.linkedin.com/in/sonikagarcia

You are not part of a community just because someone tells you so, but when understood correctly, insight into communities is a great way to connect with people. To accurately group people into communities, we need to understand, from them, where they see a connection between themselves and others. Community influence and one's sense of belonging is key to drive behavior change, but if we miss the mark on how, to both understand the concept of community, as well as how to assess one's belonging to community, we end up with failed communication attempts and behavior change efforts. If you have any questions, feedback, or just want to say hi, email us at medicalanthropology@havas.comCheck out Brad and Sonika's LinkedIn profiles to get notified when a new episode is out:https://www.linkedin.com/in/brad-davidson-3815222https://www.linkedin.com/in/sonikagarcia

While the US surgeon general's recent Advisory on the US “epidemic of loneliness and isolation” came, for many, out of the blue, the exact phrase “epidemic of loneliness” has been in use for a while now to describe the growing alienation felt by many during this period of technology-driven disruption. Modern industrial life is centered on a mobile individual and it is this focus that has lead many medical systems to recognize that loneliness not only kills, but that it can be prevented through prescribing social interactions. Join us as we discuss the implications of “medicalizing” loneliness and the importance of social connectivity.If you have any questions, feedback, or just want to say hi, email us at medicalanthropology@havas.comCheck out Brad and Sonika's LinkedIn profiles to get notified when a new episode is out:https://www.linkedin.com/in/brad-davidson-3815222https://www.linkedin.com/in/sonikagarcia

Not every behavior change intervention goes to plan, and in this podcast we talk about what happens when poorly thought out social-science or behavior change interventions are launched into the wild. It's one thing to have no measurable effect, but it's entirely another to have the opposite of your intended effect on behavior at large. Join us as we talk D.A.R.E., incentivizing people to get vaccinated, and other "backfires" in behavior change.If you have any questions, feedback, or just want to say hi, email us at medicalanthropology@havas.comCheck out Brad and Sonika's LinkedIn profiles to get notified when a new episode is out:https://www.linkedin.com/in/brad-davidson-3815222https://www.linkedin.com/in/sonikagarcia

When behavior change is on the table, the concept of "nudges" has become a go-to discussion point for every planning session. What IS a nudge, and how is it different from other forms of behavioral change support? And... is it just plain old nagging?If you have any questions, feedback, or just want to say hi, email us at medicalanthropology@havas.comCheck out Brad and Sonika's LinkedIn profiles to get notified when a new episode is out:https://www.linkedin.com/in/brad-davidson-3815222https://www.linkedin.com/in/sonikagarcia

Modern medical practice has focused on the identification and treatment of biological processes, to great success but at the cost of human engagement. We focus on "disease" as a biological process, but often fail to address the human suffering from that disease. In social sciences, we call this the difference between "disease", the biological process, and "illness", the experience of living with a disease. In this episode we explore the concepts of “disease” versus “illness”, what makes them different, how the modern practice dynamic leads to a focus on the former and the increasing exclusion of the latter. We discuss how we, as communications experts, are perfectly positioned to bridge the divide and “fill the gap” between biology and personal experience.If you have any questions, feedback, or just want to say hi, email us at medicalanthropology@havas.comCheck out Brad and Sonika's LinkedIn profiles to get notified when a new episode is out:https://www.linkedin.com/in/brad-davidson-3815222https://www.linkedin.com/in/sonikagarcia

Segmentation studies, those famously dense reports that outline the differences between 'target audiences', are part and parcel of daily life in advertising. In theory, they help us understand what drives our audiences and connect with them on a meaningful level. In practice, many of these studies create a picture of an alternate universe people by caricatures of our audiences, filled with "doctors who dabble" and "enthusiastic enablers" whose lives revolve around our products. Join us as we discuss just what segmentation studies get right, and wrong, in the modern practice of advertising.If you have any questions, feedback, or just want to say hi, email us at medicalanthropology@havas.comCheck out Brad and Sonika's LinkedIn profiles to get notified when a new episode is out:https://www.linkedin.com/in/brad-davidson-3815222https://www.linkedin.com/in/sonikagarcia

When put in charge of 'making someone do something', it is always tempting to resort to fear tactics--scaring people is a direct way of motivating them, the effects are clear and immediate, and we all know the kinds of things that scare people. This is why 'let's scare them' tactics and strategies are so popular, and why we are often asked as marketers to "show consequences" or "create fear". But fear is a poor long term motivator, and is ill advised as a marketing strategy in most cases; it's also damaging to scare people, and is widely seen as unethical. Join us as we discuss why fear is almost always not the answer.If you have any questions, feedback, or just want to say hi, email us at medicalanthropology@havas.comCheck out Brad and Sonika's LinkedIn profiles to get notified when a new episode is out:https://www.linkedin.com/in/brad-davidson-3815222https://www.linkedin.com/in/sonikagarcia

Pharmaceutical advertising is nothing if not, well, repetitive. If you see a commercial that starts with someone walking on a beach, with a dog, dressed in best “coastal grandma” fashion, odds are you'll assume (correctly) someone is going to talk about a healthcare brand or condition. Diabetes, lung cancer, depression, birth control—you name it, someone on a beach is representing it in an ad. Why we see so much of the same imagery over and over, what this does to impact and efficiency of advertising, and how we should re-think our processes for creating this imagery is all part of our newest installment of Breaking the Code.  If you have any questions, feedback, or just want to say hi, email us at medicalanthropology@havas.comCheck out Brad and Sonika's LinkedIn profiles to get notified when a new episode is out:https://www.linkedin.com/in/brad-davidson-3815222https://www.linkedin.com/in/sonikagarcia

If you work in communications, you probably have noticed that the word "heuristics" has been popping up a lot lately, mostly in discussions of "drivers of behavior". While the concept of heuristics is very helpful in understanding human decision making (or habitual non-decision making, like ordering the same coffee every day), it isn't the only way to understand drivers of human behavior, and it certainly isn't the only way to "optimize copy". Understanding what heuristics are, and more importantly what they are not, is critical to the work we do as behavior change professionals. Join us as we discuss heuristics, how they help us understand certain forms of behavior and choice preference, and the contexts within which heuristics are useful.If you have any questions, feedback, or just want to say hi, email us at medicalanthropology@havas.comCheck out Brad and Sonika's LinkedIn profiles to get notified when a new episode is out:https://www.linkedin.com/in/brad-davidson-3815222https://www.linkedin.com/in/sonikagarcia

Discussion guides, those documents packed with detailed questions and sub-questions that can go on forever, are at the  heart of many research crimes. As marketers we rely on research-derived insights to build our strategic and creative outputs, but our ideas are only as good as the research behind them. Bad discussion guides, the bad processes that create them, and the bad luck for a moderator who is told "ask every question exactly as written", set us up for failure from the start.Research is a practice, and like any practice it can be learned and improved. If the discussion guide is the driver of a lot of bad IDI research, then there must be a better way. Join us to uncover what makes a discussion guide stink, why we shouldn't even call them discussion guides, and how with a few tricks you can create guides that actually facilitate better interviews and better insight generation.If you have any questions, feedback, or just want to say hi, email us at medicalanthropology@havas.comCheck out Brad and Sonika's LinkedIn profiles to get notified when a new episode is out:https://www.linkedin.com/in/brad-davidson-3815222https://www.linkedin.com/in/sonikagarcia

Behavioral science is a cornerstone of modern marketing practice, but much of what passes itself off as behavioral science is just bs.Good social science gives us the insights and roadmap we need to change behavior, but bad social science just muddies the water and tarnishes the social sciences. As behavior change is a core objective of marketing, getting behavioral science right is crucial. Join us as two behavioral scientists sound off on what is, and isn't, good social science, from a variety of disciplines covering new topics every podcast.If you have any questions, feedback, or just want to say hi, email us at medicalanthropology@havas.comCheck out Brad and Sonika's LinkedIn profiles to get notified when a new episode is out:https://www.linkedin.com/in/brad-davidson-3815222https://www.linkedin.com/in/sonikagarcia

Once a fun weekend pastime, Sonika now has a thriving art business creating and teaching resin art to a global audience. --In this podcast we discuss: • The importance of trying new things to know how to create your best life• Overcoming your insecurities and fears to do what you want no matter what• The power of FEELING into what we truly want in this life so that the universe will help you get what/where we want• The power of alignment and authenticity to turn life from a struggle to flow• How to be open to new experiences to create your best life• How to know when to quit and when to keep going--You can find Sonika on Instagram @immersed.in.art - Be sure to send her a message and let her know what you found inspiring about this episode, and check out her beautiful art!
