The Science Communication Project @ISU was founded in 2010 with the goal of enhancing collaborative research on, education for, and the practice of public science communication, broadly conceived. Our biennial symposia- which include public presentations of multidisciplinary research and interactive workshops- bring together a network of scholars who share interests in public engagement of science, environmental communication, natural resource management, and agriscience. Conference proceedings showcase research, evaluations, and critiques of science communication-related practices and phenomena.

Abstract
The givens of “trust” and “credibility” are often glossed over in research concerning the efficacy of community-based approaches to health issues. This research focuses on one type of community intervention aimed at increasing citizens’ interest in acting to address diabetes: a series of community discussions led by Certified Diabetes Educators (CDEs). We take a critical discourse analysis approach to answering several questions including: How does the discourse between CDEs and participants work to establish or hinder the CDEs’ credibility?
Comments
Note from Christy Standerfer:
I have made the changes requested regarding the DOIs but did not add issue numbers as all the journals were paginated by volume, not issue, and APA does not call for issue numbers of journals paginated by volume. I added a comment that indicated this as well as a reference. One other thing -- I used the "old' DOI format without the htpp as I could not find the http format for many of the citation only the DOI -- Kathleen indicated in her note that either was acceptable. The only reference that is still a bit wonky may be the Schuller, Jenkins & Neal citation -- it is from a supplement of a paginated by volume journal (Diabetes). While the articles in the regular issues have DOIs, the ones in this supplement do not.
