Hi Mark, I am most interested in being given a guided tour via the
internet. I am brand new at this chat room business and I think it
sounds fun and interesting. I also have to do it for a class I'm
taking. Thanks

Subject: Public Health Student Caucus
Please forward to public health students in the United States and Canada:
Public Health Student Caucus
The American Public Health Association (APHA) is a professional society representing
more than 30,000 public health professionals, service providers, researchers,
administrators, teachers, and students. The Association provides for professional
exchange, study, and action through its Annual Meeting, Section activities,
publications, and advocacy.
The 5,000 student members of APHA have interests and needs unique from most other APHA
members. The Public Health Student Caucus was recently established to provide an
organization where people interested in issues concerning students of public health can
organize and pursue our common goals and interests. We have adopted the following
objectives:
1) Encourage the exchange of ideas, experiences, school information, award
opportunities, and job opportunities.
2) Facilitate communication between public health students, primarily through electronic
media.
3) Recruit students to join the Caucus and APHA from public health schools, programs,
and other related disciplines.
4) Facilitate leadership development among APHA student members.
5) Encourage more student involvement in APHA governing.
6) Sponsor award competitions for student papers.
7) Sponsor sessions at the APHA Annual Meeting.
8) Promote a continuing dialogue on public health student curricula.
9) Develop and promote public health policies and positions.
10) Encourage publication of student papers in the AJPH.
Caucus membership is available to all APHA members. To join, please send the information
requested below to our electronic mail account, or complete the membership form on our
web pages:
http://www.sph.unc.edu/caucus
Membership is currently free, although we may institute a small annual dues requirement
beginning at the Annual Meeting in November 1996. If you are not a member of APHA, you
need to join before you can join the caucus. APHA offers discounted rates for students
that are 50% off regular membership.
Thank you for your interest in the Caucus. We hope to hear from you soon. Together, we
can make a difference!

Subject: HEDIR chat
Just a reminder that the first HEDIR chat will take place today, Wednesday,
October 2 at 11:00 central standard time. Start up netscape, then boot up
virtual places. After virtual places is booted up you'll be at the virtual
places home page in netscape. Then go to the HEDIR chat room:
http://www.siu.edu/~kittle/HEDIR/chat
In the upper right hand corner of netscape there will either be an eye or a
door. To "enter" the chat room, click the eye and you'll enter the room.
Hopefully there will be other people there to talk to.
If you can't make it today, we'll schedule another global chat in a few days.

Organization: Life&Health Enhancement Services, or,
http://heef.doe.state.la.us/
Subject: Re: Ideas for 6-7 grade Health class
South Carolina has a networked Conference service on the net, with e-mail,
etc. I believe several of the schools in Columbia are already networked on
that system and are working on health education projects. John Eureda is
the Chairperson of the Health Promotion Department in the School of Public
Health and is, I believe, the System Administrator of the Conference
service. You may want to call him. His telephone number at the
University, 803-777-5887. I do not have his e-mail address.
The South Carolina system is a First Class Server, (as is our system here
in Louisiana--mentioned later in this note). You will need to get First
Class Client, a free, public domain application. It is available at
http://www.softarc.com/ It runs on Mac or Windows computers.
Set up the system on TCP-IP and enter 129.252.74.47 as the NETWORK address.
If this sounds likes computer-eze, and it is to some degree, be sure to
download of Softarc's First Class Client-related help documents available
at the same web address.
The Health Education Electronic Forum, HEEF, has both, a WEB site (for
support) and a First Class Server (FCS), primarily for Health
professionals, albeit we've had more kids calling in to "talk" death and
dying, sexuality, drugs, etc.
Our web site, using netscape, is http:/heef.doe.state.la.us or
http://206.218.187.2/
Our First Class Client address is the same: 206.218.187.2
We can set up a "Classroom" for you. This would similar to what we are
doing with the University of New Orleans currently. I am teaching a
Graduate Level course, via our FCS, and have "private" on-line classroom
(actually it's open right now as students sign up). Students leave each
other e-mail and download homework, upload their documents, download voice
files, listen to them and react. We also have regular UNO Health Ed
classes, of up to 30 folks on line at the same time (upgrading to 250
on-line at the same time, next month), using a "chat" utility, similar to
America Online--it even looks like America On-line. ONCE YOU LOAD FCC you
need not download any other software to use real-time chat, AND it works
with Macintosh, Windows, and even those old Commodores (via modem only).
We are in the process of setting up a means of automatically connecting to
the HEEF while in Netscape (you'll still need First Class Client). Our FCS
is multi-tasking so you can download documents, while you're chatting with
colleagues, for example.
You're welcome to come in, look and try it out. There is NO FEE, or costs
(except for CHES credits, if we continue to offer them) for using the HEEF.
And since there is no long distance phone charge, while on the internet,
it's like talking to a local system. Our graphics interface is also pretty
nifty.

This kind of thing is not uncommon. Even the major carriers have attempted
to "slam" customers. The overanxious telemarketing reps need to capture
commissions. My understanding is that is against FCC regulations to conduct
such practices. You can notify your local access carrier that you will only
permit changes in your service if you give written permission.

The first HEDIR chat went ok...I realize that many people are still trying
to figure out how to use the system. We'll have a few more introductory
efforts. If you go to the HEDIR chat page:
http://www.siu.edu/~kittle/HEDIR/chat
there will be a link as to the next chat times. If you desire to have a
chat listed, let me know the time, the chat room (we have four rooms), and
the topic (if relevant).
The next general hedir chat will take place Friday, October 4 at 11:00 cst.

I am in the process of sorting this out with my phone company. They have said
that if the switch occurred without my knowledge (illegally), I will not be
responsible for the charges. For those that this is happening to, you need to
contact your local phone company to make them aware of the situation; and so
that they can put a hold on the charges in question so that they will not have
to be paid immediately.

*************************************************************
A weekly look at progress on the Secretary's priorities
*******************************************************
October 1, 1996
----------
GOALS 2000
---------- Last week, Secretary Riley announced Goals 2000
grants to 86 school districts in 3 states: 21 in Montana,
16 in New Hampshire, and 49 in Oklahoma. School districts
in these states were eligible to apply directly to the U.S.
Department of Education for Goals 2000 grants, with state
approval. (This option is allowed under amendments to the
Goals 2000 Act in the Omnibus Appropriations Act of 1996.)
In New Hampshire, the Derry Cooperative School District will
use Goals 2000 to improve math & science achievement and
link the district's schools (via a computer network) to each
other, to the Internet, and to training for parents,
teachers, & students. Schools in Claremont will use Goals
2000 to create "technology sites" in school libraries, which
will be available to students, staff & parents before &
after school, evenings & summers. Also, to strengthen the
involvement of parents in schools, the Claremont
superintendent will send a letter to every major employer in
the county requesting at least 1 hour every other month of
paid time for parents to visit or volunteer in their child's
classroom. Training for parent volunteers will be provided,
and a parent center will offer information (by phone) on
homework & lessons.
--------------
SCHOOL-TO-WORK
-------------- Urban & rural opportunities grants were
announced for 32 business-education-labor partnerships on
September 19. The grants, totalling $17 million, were made
competitively under the School-to-Work Opportunities Act.
(The first round of urban & rural opportunities grants
awarded $10 million to 21 urban & rural partnerships in
November 1994.) The Broward (FL) School-to-Work
Partnership, which includes major businesses & the Broward
County school board, is focusing its grant on Sistrunk
Corridor, the highest poverty area in the City of Fort
Lauderdale & Broward County. Elementary schools will begin
a career awareness program; middle schools will provide
career exploration & counseling; and high schools will offer
sequential programs of study in career clusters.
Partnership funds will also support staff development, work-
based learning options, student support services & placement
opportunities. For more information, please see:
http://www.stw.ed.gov/urogrant.htm
Awards were announced last week for 9 partnerships
developing or implementing school-to-work programs that
serve American Indian & Alaska Native youths in
geographically isolated communities. These partnerships --
which include tribal organizations, employers, & schools
assisted by the U.S. Department of Interior's Bureau of
Indian Affairs -- won a total of $685,000 in development &
implementation grants under the School-to-Work Opportunities
Act. (The *first* round of school-to-work American Indian &
Alaska Native grants were awarded in 1995 to 9
partnerships.) The Red Lake School-to-Work Opportunities
Development Project will support the development of a
comprehensive plan for teaching academic skills, career
awareness, & career exploration in the early grades, while
helping students in later grades (at the Red Lake
reservation in Red Lake, Minnesota) meet Minnesota high
school graduation standards & develop general occupational
skills as well as industry- & job-specific skills. For more
information, please see: http://www.stw.ed.gov/aagrants.htm
----------
TECHNOLOGY
---------- The National Telecommunications & Information
Administration announced $18.6 million in matching grants
last month to 67 school districts, colleges, libraries,
hospitals, & other agencies & organizations in mostly inner
city & rural communities. The awards provide venture
capital for innovative projects designed to demonstrate the
benefits of telecommunications & information technology and
help extend their reach to underserved areas.
One project will tap the extensive resources of a local
university, computer companies, school districts, &
community organizations to serve youngsters in two
communities where 60-90% of students come from low-income
homes & where only 40% graduate from high school. Schools,
libraries & community service organizations will be
connected to the Internet, & Internet-based outreach &
partnerships will be used to help underserved students
succeed in school & prepare for college, careers,
citizenship & lifelong learning. By exploring how e-mail,
desktop videoconferencing & other Internet tools can best be
used to reach out to the community & serve K-12 students &
their families, this project aims to develop a model for how
information technology can help K-12 students, their
families & teachers in disadvantaged urban communities. For
more information on this & other TIIAP-supported projects,
please see:
http://www.ntia.doc.gov/otiahome/tiiap/frames.htm
----------------------
ADULT EDUCATION AWARDS
---------------------- Secretary Riley announced last week
the 12 winners of the 1996 Secretary's Awards for
Outstanding Adult Education & Literacy Programs. This
year's awards (the program began in 1985) focus on promising
programs & practices in family literacy, workplace literacy,
or services to out-of-school youth. The Department invited
state directors of adult education to nominate programs for
the competition, followed by independent expert panel
reviews & visits to program sites by Office of Vocational &
Adult Education (OVAE) staff. Criteria used in making
selections were: effectiveness in education gains, program
planning, curriculum & instruction, staff development,
support services, recruitment & retention, and coordination.
One winner, the Division of Adult & Career Education (DACE)
of the Los Angeles Unified School District, operates the
largest adult education program in the nation. Its 26
community adult schools, 12 employment preparation centers,
1 business industry site, and 6 comprehensive family
literacy centers offer more than 700 state-certified courses
to over 350,000 students representing diverse communities.
Additional information on the winners will be available in
our Online Library soon at:
http://www.ed.gov/news.html#pr
---------------------------
DIRECT LOANS NAMED FINALIST
--------------------------- The Direct Loan Program was
recently named one of 25 finalists in the 1996 "Innovations
in American Government Awards Program" by the Ford
Foundation & the John F. Kennedy School of Government at
Harvard University. "The Direct Loan Program is perhaps the
Department's most dramatic & successful example of
government reinvention," said Secretary Riley. "It is a
great credit to the Education Department & its Direct Loan
staff to have this initiative garner such prestigious
recognition." The award, which is considered one of the
most prestigious public service prizes in the U.S., honors
programs & policies that represent creative & highly
effective government efforts to meet public needs.
Finalists were chosen from more than 1,550 applicants
representing federal, state & local governments. Each
finalist receives $20,000 for disseminating, communicating &
replicating its innovative work.
------
BUDGET
------ Last night, on the eve of the new fiscal year, the
President signed into law a fiscal 1997 omnibus
appropriations & immigration reform bill that few could have
anticipated when the appropriations process began months
ago. The bill exceeds the Department's fiscal year 1996
appropriation by $3.5 billion (15%).
Over the weekend, in a dramatic reversal from last year, the
House voted (370-37) to provide a $3.5 billion increase in
discretionary education funding over fiscal year 1996. Two
days later, on September 30, the House bill was approved by
the Senate by an 84-15 vote.
"This bill is good for America," President Clinton said last
night, explaining that it "restores substantial sums for
education & training, fully paid for in my balanced budget
plan & furthering my agenda of life-long education to help
Americans acquire the skills they need to get good jobs in
the new global economy."
Secretary Riley said, after the House vote, "While
recognizing that education is primarily a state & local
responsibility, I am delighted that the House has joined the
President in making quality education a national priority."
These new education priorities can be seen in the bill,
which provides:
* the President's full request of $491 million for Goals
2000 and $200 million for School-to-Work (the
Department of Education's share).
* $464 million more than the fiscal year (FY) 1996
appropriation for Title I grants to local education
agencies.
* $556 million for Safe & Drug Free Schools -- $90
million more than the FY 1996 appropriation.
* nearly $800 million over the FY 1996 appropriation for
special education.
* $620 million for Eisenhower Professional Development &
Title VI (evenly split) instead of the $610 requested
for Eisenhower only.
* a restoration of administrative funds for the Direct
Loan program, thereby eliminating the possibility of a
"backdoor" cap on the popular student aid program.
* an increase in the maximum Pell Grant award, from $2470
in FY 1996 to $2700 as requested by the President.
* a 34% increase in college work-study, from $616.5
million in FY 1996 to $830 million in FY 1997.
* $200 million for the President's new "Technology
Literacy Challenge Fund" even though neither the House
nor Senate Committee had recommended funding earlier.
* $261.7 million for bilingual & immigrant education
programs -- all that the Administration had requested
-- even though both the House & Senate bills had
proposed reducing funds significantly below the
President's request.

Subject: Re: abstinence failure rates
In-Reply-To: "Your message dated Wed, 02 Oct 1996 15:56:23 -0400"
Heather McDanel,
I prefer not to interrupt when people are getting comfortable with an issue of
sorts, but... Perhaps I have seen too many attacks on quality of life among
patients and their loved ones --and try to offer tools to medical students to
support individuals and families in sexual health terms as well. I would like
health educators to concentrate on the promotion of sexual health rather than
attack what many people view a chance to experience the positive elements of
life. Regardless how those controlling other people's lives would like life to
be, sexuality is one such issue.
Understandably, there is an ethical issue involved --in not promoting unhealthy
practices-- but is it really possible to define abstinence as a tool? Should we
not be creating positive concepts for living rather than attempt to continue to
promote social illness concepts as public's health. I assume that you mean to
use the element in question as a simple point, not to promote abstinence as the
only element in life. Nevertheless. We do have a responsibility.
Together with two American college health educators, we have been looking at
the definition of abstinence in cultural context during educational sessions
and from what I can tell you, different people view abstinence in different
ways. Therefore, I do not think you can use it as a rate. My Finnish students
are reasonably in agreement about the issue --following what is unsafe in
scientific terms. Students from other countries appear to see the concept in
varying light --depending on how the word is given meaning. Abstinence as a
sexual term causes people to wonder what is going on, since abstinenc ends when
one has found a meaningful relationship. Sometimes, it may not be the first
chosen relationship, and perhaps not the second or third. If the choice of
abstinence fails,
does that mean that you view a potential marriage resulting from the failure
a failure? The terms we use in educating people will change the world too. Did
you ever think about that?
If you mean sexual intercourse, you need to use the appropriate label. We are
in the business of using exact terms, aren't we? Do we mean the same thing? AO

Subject: Re: HEDIR chat
Mark,
Chat is available on the HEEF. Up to 250 will be able to talk
simultaneously, on the HEEF as soon as we upgrade the server software.
Look for a direct connection out of Netscape to connect to the HEEF
Server. We've had as many as 26 folks on line at the same time with no
apparent reduction in speed (many were downloading and reading files,
while others "talked" to each other).
You'll still need First Class Client (FCC) Software, available FREE at
http://www.softarc.com/, but any telecommunications software that uses a
modem to connect to modem-accessed services will connect to one of our
modems (504-342-free) at up to 57,000+bps!
If you use FCC, however, the HEEF's chat utility looks and works like
America Online, with complete button controls and graphics interface.
It works with any Windows platform AND Macintosh computer. You even get
a pleasant chime when invited in on a chat. We have had several
private chats going on at the same time. For example, our
PRECEDE/PROCEED class has a regularly scheduled private chat and this
will not hamper public chats or other private chats going on at the same
time, that folks can start AT ANY TIME.
If you already have FCC, our network address is 218.206.187.2. Set the
"Conect via" line to TCP/IP (port 3000 in the TCP/IP settings) and enter
the address above in the Network line of the setup dialog box. You'll
need either a direct or PPP connection- if Netscape works, FCC will
probably work- one way to verify that you have the right connection.
FCC comes with documentation at the www.softarc.com address.
Our support web page is located at http://218.206.187.2/ with links to
other health ed resources as well as info on the actual HEEF Server.
As you probably already know, there are many different kinds of
computers on the net. Web pages, BBSs, File servers, First Class Servers
and many others. Web pages (prefixed with http://) are accessed with
browsers, such as Netscape. File Servers are often accessed with FTP
software and First Class SERVERS are accessed by First Class CLIENT.
Either way, you're still on the INTERNET.
Thanks for getting the word out about chatting, real time "talk," on the
NET.

In-Reply-To:
Heather,
I would find the information you gather on this of interest. I
work in adolescent health (in MN) and do a lot in the area of
sexuality education. I find many adults glibly advocate sexual
abstinence for teens without much grasp of the complexities of
it.
I think Robert Hatcher, M.D. (Grady Memorial Hospital, Atlanta)
may have written something in the past 1-2 years on how vows of
abstinence fail due to "user error" or noncompliance in much the
same way that most birth control method failure occurs. It's a
concept that I think is worth introducing/exploring in the context
of education about reality based family planning/birth control
education, etc.
So, you might check with Robert Hatcher. I'm sorry I don't have
an address or phone #, and I can't pinpoint it where I read the
piece I vaguely remember.
Perhaps there's something in one of the recent "Contraceptive
Technology" books that he and a number of colleagues in family
planning co-author every few years.

School Health Education K-12. I want the workshop to be a resource for
students who have no idea where to find jobs across the country, our
options with a health education degree, and how to contact other
educators around the country (this address will be given out). If you
have any ideas or information for new health educators coming right out
of school, let me know! I could use your help.
Personally, I graduate in May and would love to find a job in the Oregon,
Washington State or Colorado areas. If you know of any openings or
contacts, I would love to hear from you! Thank you very much.

Thanks. I do have the Windsor, Baranowski text entited Evaluation of
Health Promotion, Hlth. Edu. and Disease Prev. Prog. I also like that
text. But I would be interested in seeing how you incorporate it into your
course. So any ancillaries you use and would be willing to share would be
helpful. Also, when you have a chance, maybe you could get me the address
to Sage Pub. as I dont believe I have any of their resources and I am the

I have used a guide entitled Strategies for Working with Culturally Diverse

wonderful exercises in "assessing your own cultural heritage", addresses key
concerns/issues in working with culturally diverse communities, and provides
strategies and considerations for working with specific populations.
I am not sure of it's availability. The contact information provided is:

If that doesn't work and you are interested in tracking it down, I can
probably put you in touch with the author. Let me know if you need more
info or help reaching Dr. Randall-David.

Subject: Need Ideas for a Lit. Analysis/Writing Course
I am looking for course instruction input from those experienced in teaching
graduate level writing and literature analysis.
This spring, I will be teaching for the first time a Ph.D.-level health
education course entitled "Analysis of the Professional Literature". The
foci of the course are described below. I'd appreciate input from anyone
interested regarding text book/articles/other resources as well as
topic/in-class activity/course project ideas. The students will be required
to apply critical thinking and analysis concepts to analyze literature topics,
review journals, and complete article critiques. They will also write and
submit for publication an article on the topic of their choice. (An in-course
peer-review system will provide students with experience in reviewing each
other's articles and responding in writing to those reviews.)
Thanks in advance for any input provided!!
Dr. Eva Doyle, Health Studies Dept., Texas Woman's University
E-mail: f_doyle@venus.twu.edu
GENERAL OVERVIEW OF COURSE FOCI:
A. Historical and current issues addressed...
-How have those focus issues changed over the years and why?
-To what degree/in what manner has the professional literature
adequately addressed important health education/promotion issues?
-What does the professional literature indicate regarding the future
of health education and its literature? (Where should we be going
and how should we get there?)
B. Reliable health education/promotion journals and periodicals...
-Which journals/periodicals focus upon health education/promotion
issues?
-What are the general interests of their readership/what types
of articles/topics are usually published?
-To what extent does the journal publish articles with a predom-
inantly theoretical, clinical, data-based, or educational perspective?
-What are the basic author guidelines/format requirements, acceptance
rate, and approximate review "turn-around" time for submitted
articles?
C. Recognized leaders within our profession who have consistently
published materials related to these issues...
-How, if at all, has their approach in addressing/discussing these
issues changed over time?
-What can we learn from them regarding a philosophical base, health
education research and program methods, topic focus, writing style,
etc?
D. The mechanics of good writing...
-What are the criteria for analyzing and reviewing an article to
critique for content, flow, grammar, etc.
-What are some good "rules of thumb" for good writing?
-What can be applied to writing and literature analysis from the
professional literature related to critical thinking, critical
analysis and persuasive writing to enhance a reviewer's and a
writer's abilities?

Subject: Re: abstinence failure rates
In-Reply-To:
Robert Hatcher spoke to my class on Family Planning last week. He spoke
briefly on abstinence as a form of birth control. The way people
approach abstinence really differs from person to person. Some people
would rather be prepared and have a condom available in case they change
their mind. Other people feel that having a contraceptive ready and
available might tempt them. It is important to note, however, that 50%
of all unintended pregnancies occur in contraceptive users.
To the person who asked about this subject - I suggest looking at the
book "Contraceptive Technology". If you want to reach Dr. Hatcher, his
address is:

He is very approachable and very receptive. I don't have his phone

In-Reply-To: <199610041524.IAA24879@unixg.ubc.ca>
I served on the SOPHE ethics committee for quite a few years. Everyone
knows that to be called a professional organization it must have an
enforceable CODE OF ETHICS. The proposed code of ethics that was
published in the 2cd edition of "Community Health Education" by Breckon,
Harvey, and Lancaster was the best I have seen. I served, also, on the
committee when we had a very poor code or no code of ethics. The present
one is passable . . . but, there is no provision for enforcement and we
seem to have some practitioners who are in violation of the provision
regarding preparation and training. They are using false pretenses to
develop elitism within the CHES program. It is still a volunteer
program, no state has adopted it as a licensing requirement and it is presently focused
on entry level preparation . . . NO MORE - NO LESS.
I ask that those considering any joint code or update to revisit the code
as proposed in the 2cd edition Community Health Education: roles, skills,
etc.

Subject: Re: Unified Code of Ethics
What you sould also know about CHES, and which I consider most important, is
that currently there are two levels one may become CHES, level I requires a
degree in health education, level II does not. Thus we have people who can
still become certified without a degree in health education at all. We had
two of our majors in health education who became CHES BEFORE they received
their degree, and one person who only minored in health education. This makes
for a rather flacky certification program even more flacky in my opinion. Don

Hi to all list users,
At present I am developing a proposal for my Masters Dissertation in
Public Health at Queensland University of Technology. I am interested
in the Public Health implications to the host country of an Olympic
event. Does anyone know of any research that was conducted in Atlanta on
such an area?
Any suggestions are most welcome.
Thanks in advance,

I do the same thing I do for all my students. I present my activities in a way
that all different skill levels can find success. For example "how many sit
ups can you do in 15 seconds" Using time is very helpful for P.E. For my
health classes I try to use different ways to give the information. I say it,
I write and we practice it. I hope this helps you.

Larry:
Is the text one that would be appropriate for an undergraduate class? No
disrespect intended, I am quite familiar with your previous works and have
used them in graduate-level courses where there seems to be a better fit
(e.g. Hlth. Ed. Planning; A Diagnostic Approach, 1980). And your materials
were also used when I took graduate-level courses. So I'd be interested in
knowing the target popoulation for which this new text is geared. Please
advise accordingly. Thanks for the response.

Subject: nonoxynol-9
Contemporary Sexuality featured a Study in Short about nonoxynol-9 this summer.
According to it, Durex condoms announced that they will begin to review
"whether the spermicide used to lubricate condoms could cause male fetal
abnormalities". There is discussion about how much of the substance is
being absorbed into adult blood stream and when converted into nonyl
phenol (mimicing estrogen), how it might affect fetal development.
Has there been discussion within health education in the US as to how health
education practices might be affected if this were true? The company appears to
advise women who think they might be pregnant to switch to brands not
containing the substance. Is there a consensus as to what and how to advise in
other instances, future in mind. Long term impact is not known anyway. in Short
term, I am sure, it should be noted. AO.

For the past 10 years Patient Education Week has been the first week of
November so it would be the week of November 4. You can call the American

Association--general number 312/422-3000 to make sure. They have been
putting together materials for the week since the International Patient

the National Health Information REsource Center or access the Offices Web

Subject: Patient Education Week & Other Observances
Actually, there are several calendars with health related observances
noted. As an AARP Health Advocacy Services volunteer, I receive a calendar
with health events/observances of interest to older adults.
But the all encompassing calendar I receive is published by the Office of
Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (ODPHP) as a special issue of
Prevention Report (ODPHP, Public Health Service, US Dept of HHS, Switzer
Building, Rom 2132, 330 C Street SW, Washington, DC 20201).
For October, don't forget to mark your calendar for:
* Celiac Sprue Awareness Month
* Child Health Month
* Family Health Mnth
* National Breast Cancer Awareness Month
* National Campaign for Healthier Babies Month
* National Dental Hygiene Month
* Natinal Family Sexuality Education Month
* National Liver Awareness Month
* National Lupus Awareness Month
* National Physicial Therapy Month
* National Spina Bifida Prevention Month
* National Spinal Health Month
* Rett Syndrome Awareness Month
* Sudden Infant Dealth Syndrome Awareness Month
* Talk About Prescriptions Month
5 National Depressin Screening Day
6-12 Flu and Pneumonia Campaign
6-12 Mental Illness Awareness Week
6-12 National Fire Prevention Week
7 Child Health Day
7-8 American Heart Walk
13-19 National Infection Control Week
13-19 National Radon Week
14-18 National School Lunch Week
16 World Food Day
20-26 National Hepatitis Awareness Week
20-26 National High School Activities Week
22-28 National Adult Immunization Awareness Week
23 National Youth Health Awareness Day
23-29 National Health Education Week
23-31 National Red Ribbon Celebration
Then, of course, you have state specific observances. Among other events,
October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month in Washington State.
I, as I'm sure many of you, have participated in some or many of these
events. I actually have found the materials for Talk About Prescriptions
Month to be helpful, available from the National Council on Patient
Information and Education, 666 Eleventh Street NW, Suite 810, Washington,

Hi Kristine,
Sorry I don't have anything to contribute to your dilemma but wanted to say
"Hi". Congrats on getting the CalPoly position. How do you like it? Is
it everything you expected and more? Anything exciting for you outside the
world of academe?
I passed prelims, so I am very excited about that and look forward to a May
graduation. Now, if I could just come up with a dissertation topic, a
minor detail! 8) I have an exam tomorrow night in HED 510 the school
health curriculum class and have no motivation to study after the prelim
thing. I haven't even begun to study but will tonight and tomorrow. I am
Dr. Vitello's teaching assistant and have had a wonderful experience thus
far. She's a wonderful person. Are you going to ASHA?
I have my own apartment this year. The Jenkins got another foster child
and they needed the room. Bob told me two weeks before I was leaving for
the summer. To top it off, I was taking Dr. Welshimers models and theories
class--it was pretty stressful, not having much time to search for a place.
However, I was really blessed and am living in a nice four-plex about 5
miles from campus. It's semi-rural and is very quiet. All the other
tenants are graduate students too, one is on staff at SIU.
I am one of the Spiritual Living teachers in Relief Society. Sherri
Selander is the new Relief Society president. Her counselors are Melissa
Woodside, she had a baby boy, Sam, this summer; and Lisa Grotts. Debbie
Fraedrich is the visiting teaching coordinator and Pam Fleming teaches
Gospel Doctrine. Typical Carbondale Ward with lots of changes. Bishop
Burke is doing an excellent job.
I better get busy. Wednesday I leave to spend 4 days in Logan, an early
fall recess. I have a lot to do between now and then. I just wanted to
say hi, and hope all is well with you.
Take care.
Sue

that has made it somewhat difficult to get the organizations I work with to
let me use the video.
The video is excellent for affecting perceived risk and perceived
susceptibility of the youth.
Does anyone have any suggestions for other videos that might accomplish the
same thing? My selection criteria are as follows:
1) it is from this decade,
2) is appropriate for suburban youth (13-18 years of age),
3) has a racial mix of characters (I work in suburban Atlanta),
4) is not fear-based, and
5) is realistic.
I will use this video with homeless youth, runaway youth, incarcerated
youth, youth on probation, youth seeking STD treatment, youth in drug
treatment, and youth in after-school programs.
Also I need some videos than can affect perceived risk and perceived
susceptibility for young adults (19-29) currently in alcohol and drug
treatment and women who in are a support group for battered women (they have
already left the abusive situation).
Please E-mail me or fax me with any information that you might have. Thank
you for your time.

I am also taking the exam and have spent some time
studying. You may want to see if a collegue has the Deeds
study guide that the National Commission put out or if you
send me your fax, I can fax you a reading list that the
Naitonal Commission put together. Also, Simons, Morton
and Green has a great general text to use as a review,
Introduction to Health Education and Health Promotion.
Hope that is helpful. I am not sure what the fail rate is!

Kathryn:
I suggest you contact David Meager at Brooklyn College in NYC. He publishes
a "Selected Annotated Bibliography on Death and Dying" which has a quite
complete list of materials. He also publishes "The Thanatology Newsletter"
which has reviews of D/D materials, research, etc. and is quite helpful to
me in my "Health Aspects of Death and Dying" Class.
This is at least a very good place to start
His address is:

Consider contacting the CDC for their educational videos. You can reach them at 800-458-5231.
One
video called "I Have AIDS and Teenagers Story" is a very good video which talks about Ryan
White and
his story of contracting the disease. It also offers other basic information about transmission
modes and
how it affected his daily life. There is a cost of about $12. THe Clearinghouse has lots of other
great
intervention ideas. GOOD LUCK!!

Subject: First phase of training completed

I am happy to report that the first phase of training to develop Adult
Health & Development Programs at other universities was successful.
Administrators of various universities became familiar with the theory
and methods of the Adult Health & Development Program (AHDP), and
actually saw the Program in action. The AHDP is a 24 year old
intergenerational, multi-ethnic and racial health promotion and
rehabilitation program. This semester it is serving 80 older adult
members represeting diverse backgrounds, health and economic status,
etc.. The key to the AHDP is that students and volunteers are trained to
work on a one-to-one basis with the older adult "member."
Universities that will send their faculty to be trained as directors of
their AHDPs include:
University of Miami School of Medicine
Arizona State University
Coppin State University
South Carolina State University
California State University - Long Beach
Arizona State University-West
University of South Alabama
Tuskegee University
There are already AHDPs at 4-7 other sites: University of Delaware,
Nichols State University, Northern Virginia State University, Bloomburg
State College, University of the District of Columbia, Montgomery
College, Takoma Park (MD), Chesapeake College (MD), and a program in
Jerusalem.
Should you be interested in possibly developing an AHDP at your
university/college please let me know. We hope our grant will be renewed
to continue the spread of what we call the National Network for
Intergenerational Health.
