Two Ohio University faculty members received awards in recognition for their work aimed at preventing and reducing stigma around HIV from Graphic Design USA and the 2022 Academy of Interactive and Visual Arts, also known as the Davey Awards.
Caroline Kingori, associate professor of community and public health, and Adonis Durado, assistant professor in the School of Visual Communication, as well as core members of the Game Research and Immersive Design (GRID) Lab, were awarded the Designing for Good category from Graphic Design USA and the silver award in the General Health and Fitness category from the Davey Awards for their choose-your-own-adventure film intervention “DatingForward,” which aims to reduce HIV stigma and increase engagement in HIV prevention among immigrant and refugee youth ages 18-25 in Columbus. The project was funded by the Columbus Foundation.
