| The media is a particularly powerful source for communicating health information to the public. In this session, presenters go far beyond the realm of the public service announcement to increase our understanding of how the media frames health issues, imparts information, and shifts health attitudes. The speakers in this session will address topics such as how health topics are developed by journalists and the impact of the media on adolescent’s sexual behavior. The session will also include a series of presentations on health content in primetime television shows including how these shows may influence organ donation and breast cancer awareness. | |||
| Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of the session, the participant (learner) in this session will be able to: 1. Identify ways in which public health professionals can be helpful to reporters as they cover public health issues. 2. Describe the effects of sexual content exposure on adolescents’ intentions to have sex. 3. Describe the impact of entertainment television on specific health knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors. | |||
