| Public health materials are often central components in health education, promotion, and communication interventions. However, it is extremely challenging to develop and disseminate high-quality, innovative materials that are founded on formative research and psychosocial theory, appropriate in content and purpose for the intended target audience, and are appropriately evaluated both formatively and summatively. To promote high-quality materials, and to recognize the professionals who create them, the Public Health Education and Health Promotion Section of the American Public Health Association conducts an annual Public Health Materials Contest. Entries are reviewed by expert judges and are divided into four categories: print materials, promotional materials, audio/video materials, and electronic materials. This session will feature the award winners from this year's contest who will present their winning material and discuss its development, share lessons and experiences, and participate in discussion with the other presenters and the audience. | |||
| Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of the session, the participants will be able to: (1) Describe the importance of high-quality materials in public health interventions; (2) Identify important aspects of developing and evaluating high-quality materials; and, (3) Apply lessons learned from the award winning materials and their creators to one's own public health research and practice. | |||
