How we do it:

1. Media Advocacy —GOMOJO teaches intended audiences (often young people, people of color and transgender) through influencing the mass medias selection of topics and shaping the debate on these issues, seeks to change the social and political environment in which decisions on health and health resources are made;

2. Advertising—places paid or public service messages in the media or in public spaces to increase awareness of and support for a product, service, or behavior

ACTION BY GOMOJO:

GOMOJO is working with external stakeholders to highlight the opportunities, challenges, and efforts affecting boys and young men and women of color and poverty.

Here is what we do:

1. Leverage greatest impact by continuing to invest in implementation science = hundreds of documents stocked and fully loaded content curated from the streets of Downtown Las Vegas to globally scale

2. Support implementation research.

3. Evaluate the efficacy of optimized combination prevention.

5. Develop evidence-based approaches to reaching people early enough in their disease progression

6. MOJO website:

The purpose of this site is to provide endless research and analysis of scientific evidence based proof that we've got YOUR MOJO covered!
