APHA Film Festival: U.S. Health - Public Health and Human Rights in Health Communication
The 3rd Annual APHA Film Festival. In this session, sponsored by the Health Communication Working Group, short videos about public health concerns in the U.S. will be shown to demonstrate how 21st century digital tools can make visual communication affordable and effective as tools for training, outreach, and organizing at every budget level. Emphasis will be placed on productions that have utilized approprate evaluation methods, either formative or summative. Facilitated discussion following the screening will focus on the importance of visual media in raising awareness of health issues, and on how visual media can be incorporated into public health practice.
Learning Objectives: As a result of attending, participants will have increased knowledge of the topics raised in the films; and will understand the vital role that film and video can play in addressing public health issues. Participants will learn one or more methods to evaluate Health Communication media productions.
