Public Health Discussion
Developing a Public Health Campaign Assignment
TITLE: HEALTH COMMUNICATION AND PUBLIC HEALTH CONCERNS
To begin developing a campaign, first identify a public health issue which you are interested in. Then research the public health issue to determine whether it is actually a critical issue. For example, if you want to help reduce drug use among urban youth, you need to investigate whether this is a critical issue among that group or if there are other more pressing issues. Research is an essential component to building an effective public health campaign. You must also consider what marketing strategies you might employ and how you might utilize public relations with your target audience.
