<DIV><SPAN class=019383319-04012007><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>This
is my first time to post as well. Interesting topic. I am very
intrigued at our use of visuals in the public health field. We are exposed
to so many visually and emotionally stimulating marketing items
everyday. I find it a daunting task to create visuals that will
stimulate learning or behavior change in an already over
stimulated society. As a nutritionist for the WIC program in TX, I always
wish I knew more on marketing strategies. I'd like to know how the
junk food companies market to kids so they'll beg their mom's buy more
chips and candy. Are we (public health) using this
same marketing strategies with our visuals?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

McCarthy, RD from Massachusetts WIC has worked with a marketing firm
to develop visuals that use the marketing strategy of emotional
messaging for public health issues. The back of the
visual features learning points about the picture. In my opinion
these are the most innovative visuals I've seen in public health.
Unfortunately, I don't have a link to her materials. They should be
on the following website soon. I will attach an example of the front
of two of the visuals to this email. <A

Question: Visuals in Health Ed.<BR><BR>Hi Everyone,<BR><BR>It's time for
Wednesday's question, and I want to prepare for next<BR>week's discussion by
getting us thinking about the use of pictures and<BR>visuals in passing on
health information. Whether it is during a<BR>clinical appointment, or more
formalized health education setting, there<BR>are lots of ways to present
health information. What do you see as the<BR>biggest problem in getting
health educators to use more visuals in their<BR>instructions?<BR><BR>Think
about your own experience and let us know what you think. Send a<BR>brief
answer this week, and we'll discuss it further with our guest<BR>speakers
next week.<BR><BR>All the best,<BR>Julie<BR><BR><BR>Julie
