help with discussion question

I’m trying to learn for my Health & Medical class and I’m stuck. Can you help?

1) Visit the https://www.cdc.gov/healthcommunication/campaigns/index.html or https://www.cdc.gov/chronicdisease/programs website.

Choose one health communication campaign to focus on and explain the campaign to your colleagues.

• What/who is the target audience? Is the target audience suffering from a specific ailment or morbidity (disease)?
• Share and describe two objectives (goals) of the campaign.
• Locate a health promotion method/tactic the campaign utilized to reach the target audience and tell is what it is. Include a screen shot in the post.
  • A health promotion tactic can be any type of supportive material to enhance the messages, summarize main points of what is being communicated and help the target to receive key messages of the campaign.
    • Did the campaign use public service announcements? Fact sheets? Education groups? Thoroughly describe the one method that you focused on and be sure to include what the method was communicating to the target audience. (Think about the images, wording, messages, descriptions included, etc..)
• Lastly, post two questions you have regarding the campaign. Respond to two questions or the health promotion methods discussed by your colleagues.

To successfully include an image of the health promotion method one can either:

• Right click the image and save it to your pc as a .jpeg OR take a screen shot and paste it into a word doc and then save it as a .jpeg.
• Lastly, use the image tool in the toolbar above to locate your saved file and then attach the image to your DB post.

Sources:

• You are required to use at least TWO sources from the textbook, and the CDC website or any others. Use your OWN WORDS (e.g., do not cut and paste from a government report or article).
• Paraphrase (use your own words) to report the information.
• Include APA formatted in-text citations to identify your sources AND include full APA formatted references for your sources at the end of your post.

2)This week another focus of the course was on support groups. Working in groups can be a powerful tool for modifying behavior and can influence morbidity and chronic disease outcomes in a group setting. For this discussion board, students will examine a few different aspects of support groups.

• First, define support groups using the text.

• Then, define two terms using an outside source: morbidity and chronic disease. Sources such as the CDC, National Institutes of Health, Mayo Clinic, etc.. are great sources to use.

• Next, select one of the two types of support groups below and follow the requirements:
  1. Research, identify, and describe a specific support group that was implemented with the goal of impacting (e.g. improving) a chronic disease outcome (e.g. heart disease, obesity, cancer, etc…).

• • What was the impact of the support group? Was it positive, null, or negative? Describe and include relative statistical data to support.

OR

B. Research, identify and describe a support group specific to an age group that focuses on any type of ailment/illness (e.g. could be children, adolescents, adults or older adults).

• • • What was the structure of the group (e.g. when and where did it meet; activities, etc..?)
    • Describe the purpose and goals of the support group.

Sources:

• You are required to use at least THREE sources from government reports, peer-reviewed journal articles or textbooks. You can use the course textbook.
• Use your OWN WORDS (e.g., do not cut and paste from a government report or article).
• Paraphrase (use your own words) to report the information.
• Include APA formatted in-text citations to identify your sources AND include full APA formatted references for your sources at the end of your post.
