Overview
Creating health-related materials is an extremely important skill for health education professionals. Learning how to create and effectively present media products is also an important component of successful public health interventions. A variety of media products are used in nearly all health promotion interventions. Many health communication strategies are shaped to advocate and increase awareness; however, health communication materials may be used to support health services, policy, or health education programs.
Purpose
You will create a health communication campaign for this course. The purpose of this health communication campaign is to help you learn how to create a variety of health information materials and media products designed as communication interventions that support health policy, health services, or health education programs for real application and promotion.
For the Final Project, you focus on a health topic that you think should be addressed in your community.
