Homework: Public Health Education Flyer/Press Release
Can you imagine throwing a party only to have one guest attend? It would be the same as creating a public health education program that no one notices. What good does a public health education program do if no one knows that it exists? In order for a public health education program to be successful, the public must know about it and choose to participate in it. The most direct way to accomplish this is through effective communication and marketing.
To prepare for this Homework:
i. Review the Learning Resources on developing press releases and effective health information and messaging.
ii. Based on these guidelines, begin to develop a flyer or press release for one of the three programs you proposed for the Discussion. Consider the appropriateness of the different features of the flyer or press release (e.g., reading level, graphics). Think about the elements and strategies associated with social marketing: product, price, place, promotion, partnership, policy, and politics.
To complete this Homework:
i. Create a 1 page flyer or press release for one of the three public health education programs you proposed for the Discussion (using Microsoft Word).
