Founded on the guiding principles of Integrity, Quality, and Creativity (IQ^C), Danya is committed to providing breakthrough solutions for public health and education around the world through the innovative use of research and technology. Danya works with its public and private-sector clients to develop and implement research-based tools and dynamic campaigns that communicate clear, concise, and effective health messages across all media forms.

Public Health Communication

Danya is committed to bridging health and human services through a continuum of superior service and products that are informed by a research-based approach to conceptualizing, developing, and implementing innovative behavior-change solutions. These technological solutions involve creating and delivering new products and services to advance the programmatic and policy goals of the Federal and State agencies and private organizations that are our clients.

One of the hallmarks of Danya's products and services is its ability to develop and deliver creative and innovative approaches to health promotion and education. Recognized for its skill in developing interactive Web programming, its success stories run the gamut from online courses for adults to children's games that provide education on the risks of alcohol. Danya uses social marketing to promote research-based public and social health change by means of social research, interactive health communication, persuasive or behavioral communication, and media advocacy. Social research is a critical step in developing health and science education products and services; therefore, Danya's products and services are built on foundations of established research, best practices, and theories. Danya also uses media advocacy to advance social or public policy initiatives.

Research and Evaluation

The core of everything Danya does, whether developing public health interventions or creating specialized multimedia products, revolves around our scientific expertise. In collaboration with our clients, Danya staff members conduct health-related research and translate the results into easy-to-use, relevant products and services.

Danya has considerable expertise in designing and conducting the broad range of evaluations using a number of multiple and overlapping data collection approaches. Each evaluation engagement is guided by a detailed design statement that addresses, minimally, three aspects of study implementation: evaluation focus, data collection, and data analysis. Danya's largest evaluation effort was an examination of international drug treatment programs. Funded by the U.S. Department of State, the initiative was designed to identify promising treatment practices that can be replicated in or across countries.
