Social Marketing and Healthcare Week 4 Assignment

Introductory Paragraph (no more than 180 words)

Welcome to Week 4!

Last week, we explored public health through the lens of a local public health agency and how these services impact the community. We discussed what works effectively and what areas need improvement. We also reviewed the importance of a community health assessment and the role of evaluation in producing positive and long-term health outcomes

In this week, we will discuss how health information is communicated and why these methods are so important. We will review some of the factors directly related to the population that influence health communication. We will examine the role of social marketing in public health and as a viable communication technique. We will identify diverse public health issues and explore how social marketing has increased awareness of those health concerns. We will also make recommendations for improving public health communication campaigns. We will develop social marketing plans for a selected health issue and discuss the role of the key components of a communications campaign with the goal of increasing awareness and improving health outcomes in a target population.

Your Learning Objectives for the Week:

Communicate health policy and management issues using appropriate channels and technologies.

Social Marketing and Healthcare

The past decade has seen an enormous surge in social marketing to convey various messages. Social marketing has also been established as an essential health communications tool to promote health initiatives. Social marketing should not be the only tool to communicate information to the general public, but to complement the existing practices in place.

This week, you will examine the use of social marketing as a communication channel in healthcare. Review the following website article:
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. (2012). Gateway to health communication & social marketing practice. Retrieved from http://www.cdc.gov/healthcommunication/

Using the readings for the week, the South University Online Library, and the Internet, create a 15- to 20-slide Microsoft PowerPoint presentation with a separate title and reference slide. Include the following:

Justify why social marketing is needed in today’s society to promote health initiatives.
List the numerous communication channels that are used in developing a health campaign.
Describe the process used to identify the population segment that can benefit from a specific health behavior.

Explain how you will evaluate the effectiveness of your communications campaign.
Provide a specific example of how social marketing was used in a health campaign.
