Project Proposal Description I will be evaluating the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC’s) One & Only Campaign. This public health educational campaign has been led by the CDC in partnership with the Safe Injection Practices Coalition (SIPC).
Evaluating the Channels and Messages I will utilize the Theory of Reasoned Action and the Framework for Effective Campaigns to evaluate this public health educational campaign (Valente, 2001). I will utilize course concepts to analyze the Safe Injection Practices 'How to do it Right ' video which was the Grand Prize winner of the 3rd annual Film Festival of the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology and the 2013 AVA Digital Awards Gold Winner. I will

This campaign was launched with an audio and video message, but I will review its expansion that has includes the following digital media formats:
• Facebook: One & Only Campaign
• Twitter: @InjectionSafety
• YouTube: OneandOnlyCampaign
• Blog: Safe Healthcare: Injection Safety
• Website: One & Only Campaign
• Email: info@oneandonlycampaign.org
Campaign Goals and Objectives The CDC is focused on protecting patients against preventable harm from improper use of single-dose/Single-use vials. The goal of the ‘One & Only’ campaign is to ensure patients are protected each and every time they receive a medical injection. This will be attained by empowering patients and re-educating healthcare providers regarding safe injection practices. This project will address the efficacy of the campaign’s focus on targeted education and awareness strategies that influence the culture of patient safety. The objectives of this campaign are to eliminate unsafe medical practices involving medical injections and to eliminate infections resulting from unsafe injection practices.
Analysis of the Health Problem
Injectable medications are commonly used in our healthcare system for disease
Advertising is a complicated form of marketing, it’s almost like an art form. One must be acutely aware of their audience and what captures their attention, otherwise the advertisement will fall flat. There is a myriad of different ways to lure consumers into buying a product; for example, the Center for Disease Control’s (CDC) managed through a series of advertisements to convince individuals of the importance in getting a vaccination for the influenza virus. It was applied using multiple techniques, namely the methods of universal appeal and association. These techniques helped the CDC to effectively promotes the flu vaccine and get their message across to a wide range of people.
Purpose: The purpose of this speech is to inform my audience on the importance of vaccinating their children. My central idea is that current education is too lax, we need to better educate our new parents on the importance of vaccinations.
To improve the well-being of individuals through health education, counseling and detection screening programs. Over the next few weeks, our mission will consist of finding new solutions to better educate individuals in our society on the importance of health education, by improving care through technology, which ultimately better our society. Our organization will focus on fundraising, however, we focus on fundraising will be from a health perspective, to make sure we focus on individual health at all times. I will be responsible for the implantation of Better Health Care
Safe injection sites provide sterile injection equipment, basic health care, medical testing, drug and medical
It is encouraging to know “the fact that no instances of syringe lending or borrowing were observed among individuals who reported performing all injections within the safe injection site...” (M.W. Tyndall et al.). Drug users that go to InSite for their injections are less likely to lend a syringe to someone else. Ninety-four percent of frequent safe injection site users refused to lend out a syringe in the last six months compared to the eighty-nine percent of infrequent users. This is because InSite users benefit from safer injecting education. Approximately eighty percent of safe injection site users practice safer injection (i.e. reusing syringes less often, injecting indoors, and using clean water and equipment). This is also because of learning about safer injecting. The transmission of blood-borne diseases has been reduced and will continue to if more safe injection sites are opened in the Lower Mainland.
General Purpose: To persuade. Specific Purpose: To persuade my audience about the importance of children vaccination. Central Idea/Thesis Statement: All parents should have awareness about the importance of vaccines and choose to vaccinate their children for the greater good of the children and all human race. Attention Step: Can you imagine a world without vaccines?
The intended purpose of this presentation is to provide facts and scientific research that persuades the audience members regarding the use of vaccinations. My intention is that the audience will support the use of vaccinations and consider the facts before making decisions that affect the entire community. My central idea is that inaccurate data exists with regards to vaccination; instead, that vaccinations should be viewed as essential for protection of society, both from extreme illness as well as life threatening, and sometimes fatal, diseases.
The educational session lasted approximately 50 including multiple discussions. The presenter began by introducing herself and sharing a funny story. The story was to entice the crowd and loosen everyone up. The quiet room busted into laughs and the presentation began to a great start. The presentation began with a review of the objectives stated above. A discussion was then had and participation was 100 percent. Everyone in the room had something to contribute. Prior to starting the discussion a disclaimer was made that this discussion would be in confidence and whatever was discussed during this session was to remain in the room. All residents willingly agreed. Feelings of nervousness, unknown, and worry were some common themes. Also some residents shared feelings of anger toward people who did not want to receive the vaccine. A discussion was the perfect
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2016) define acute hepatitis C as an infection of the liver that can become chronic when the hepatitis C virus has been in the human body for an extended period of time, leading to complications of the liver such as cirrhosis or cancer. According to the CDC (2016), there are between 2.7 to 3.9 million people in the United States population living with chronic hepatitis C. Those that were born between the years of 1945-1965, aka the “baby boomers”, run the highest prevalence of having the hepatitis C virus (CDC, 2012). This is relevant to the adult/elderly population considering that hepatitis C virus is most prevalent in the prison population, especially in those beyond 30 years of age (CDC, 2016). For every three prisoners, one of them is infected with the hepatitis C virus (CDC, 2016). There are many barriers the come in between a prisoner and their right to medical treatment. This is where the ethical principle of justice comes into play. This ethical principle states that all individuals have an equal right to the distribution of resources regardless of who they are or what they’ve contributed (ANA, n.d). Spaulding et al., (2013) agree in that “correctional systems have a constitutional obligation to provide adequate health care to inmates, including HCV management” (page number). The purpose of this paper is to discuss the controversial issue of diagnosing and treating prisoners affected by chronic hepatitis C.
The outbreaks documented by the CDC and SIPC have affirmed that patients must be taught how to protect themselves from adverse medical errors such as unsafe injections. In this technological society, channels that utilize the media with educational videos and radio PSAs can reach a wide audience. Investigators in one of the larges outbreaks in Las Vegas, NV discovered that the unpardonable lapses in fundamental patient safety were the result of unsafe efforts to cut costs. Although the ‘One & Only’ campaign is designed to help empower patients to ask the right questions of their doctors, more studies are needed to determine the efficacy of this strategy. Another goal of the campaign has been to educate healthcare providers with an easy to recall slogan of “one needle, one syringe, and only one time for every single injection” (CDC, 2015). More evaluations of the efficacy of this campaigns in other states will be needed before the campaign goes
I come to you today to report on the State of Syringe Access in our fair Union. I know some of you are antsy to stop reading the AIDS United Policy Update and get back to Iowa. Tonight, for my final address to this chamber, I don't want to talk just about the next year. I want to focus not only what is happening but what we foresee in the next five years, ten years, and beyond.
In the literature review, I covered a few emerging themes present in my literature related to my research question, are safe injection sites perceived by the public to be more helpful or more harmful in combating drug epidemics? As such, this study extends the related literature on the topic of safe-injection sites through attempting to add in the public’s perception of safe injection sites and the supposed benefits they provide, such as reduction in overdose or blood-borne illnesses. In several of the articles, the sway that public perception holds over support for safe injection sites is briefly highlighted as being crucial. In fact, one study starts the introduction by saying By adding the
To develop a public health campaign, first one must look at influential entities that comprised of the CBPR roles of the various multidisciplinary fields. The multidisciplinary role of epidemiology, biostatistics, environmental scientist, a management scientist, health care providers, and behavioral scientist as all are important, influential figures. They provide strength to the campaign message with their concrete evidence content incorporated into the health movement (Campbell, 2011). Moreover, CBPR multidisciplinary specialists are often respected by the public and politicians due evidence base information to extracted to pass legislative laws on health policies (Campbell, 2011). Likewise, multidisciplinary works incorporation attracts other scientists, community’s participants, health professionals, academia, peers, and religion groups, as it offers direction, discretion based on shared knowledge to response to the identifiable issues (USDHHS, 2012). Therefore, one way to use CBPR to develop a public health campaign is to incorporate the
It is important for students and community partners to work together through service-learning activities (Vizenor, 2016) to both benefit to lower vaccine preventable diseases by increasing immunizations. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) contributes an immense role in vaccine preventable diseases through its’ community partnerships, cross-cultural challenges, humanitarian considerations, volunteers, roadblocks, future vision, challenges, and improvements. Students will benefit from service-learning with the CDC and its’ organization due to the proven impact of community’s awareness of immunizations in reducing preventable diseases and in connecting education to real world issues.
