Mark,
After the report that 30% of youth smoke was released I did a
little informal research. I did this because I, like Mark, believed this
number to be too low. I asked 175 undergraduate students to pass forward a
sheet of paper. Smokers were asked to place an X on their papers,
non-smokers an O. The results were..... 84 smoked. That is a whopping
48%!!! I carried this research a little further the next day. I asked them
to once again pass forward a sheet of paper. X for regular smokers, O for
non-smokers, and Y for those who consider themselves to be recreational
smokers (smoke only occasionally). The results changed. Of the 171 (4
students were absent) 83 were smokers, 21 were recreational smokers, and
67 did not smoke. That moves the percentage up to 60%.

In addition to the alarming increased rates of smoking, I would add that it
definitely seems that on our campus at least, there has been a trend over
the past year of a reduction in the number of smokers who are seeking to
join smoking cessation groups. I wonder if a similar decline in quit group
members is being seen on other campuses?

I have collected health behavior data from nearly 7000 students in alternate
years since 1990. Data were collected from students enrolled in an
undergraduate general education required course. Percentages reported were for
students who had smoked in the last 30 days and those who were daily smokers
(of tobacco). For men (for the years 1991, 1993, 1995 and 1997 respectively)
the percents who reported smoking in the last 30 days were 22.8, 27.4. 31.3, and
27.2. The percents who reported smoking daily were 10.0, 10.9, 13.2, and 13.9.
For women during the same time period the percents who reported smoking in the
last 30 days were 17.6, 19.7, 24.4, 31.5. The percents who reported smoking
daily were 6.6, 7.5, 9.8, 12.1.
I and a colleague (Dr. Larry Hensley) will be making a presentation based on
this data collection process at the AAHPERD convention in Boston. By then we
will also have data fromthe 1998-99 school year. It is scheduled for Saturday,
April 24 at 7:30 a. The data we are collecting this year is the first to be
collected since the opening of a huge wellness facility that is available to
students from 6:00 am to midnight. We are curious to see if students' health
behaviors have changed since this very dramatic change in the environment has
occurred.
Our 100-item questionnaire also asks students about their health interests. Of
37 health interest topics, the only one that ranks lower then smoking is back
care and safety.

I wanted to notify the list of some excellent educational material that is
available from the Phoenix House, a non-profit substance abuse services
agency. The material features booklets on the effects of heavy drinking,
alcohol and sex, and children of alcoholic information. It is useful for
Counseling and Health Services, Residential Life programming, or Peer
Education.
The starter pack can be ordered for only $15 (thanks to a generous grant
from Met Life) as opposed to the $300 it would normally cost. I've seen
the material and used it with student focus groups. It is already very
popular material. The offer may not last long. The contact information is

Hi Folks,
I am seeking information and especially models. We are seeking to set up
a resource center in a community health center that is basedin Burlington
VT. This center serves the following diverse populations: refugees from
southeast Asia and eastern Europe (Burlington is a refugee
resettlement center), Vermonters with rural roots, university
students, African-Americans, some middle eastern country folks,
homeless folks, adolescents with special needs, and a fair amount of
elderly. This center is also a
popular site for health professions students to do internship rotations.
We are seeking to design and operate a health resource center that would
serve both clients and students..we envision the creative use of
technology and may like to have educational programs as well.
Are there existing models that we might learn from? Do you have some
interesting ideas that we might consider implementing? Is ther funding we
might not have looked into?
Thanks for your help..I suggest that you answer the entire list as the
information might useful to many of us.

Please excuse any cross-postings.
I have been asked by numerous people about the specific information about
the International Electronic Journal of Health Education
(http://www.iejhe.siu.edu), the first completely on-line, peer-reviewed
health education journal.
"The acceptance/rejection rate"
The rejection rate for 1998 year was 62%.
"Circulation"
Based on the number of subscribers. As of December 31, 1998, we had 708
subscribers. Since the journal has had free access, subscribers were
considered those who actively requested a personalized userid/password.
There has been (and remains until February 1) a public domain
userid/password, of which is impossible to determine how many have accessed
the journal via that mechanism.
"Number of Hits"
According to my system, these are the following number of hits per issue:
January: 1,845
March: 1,495
July: 2,018
October: 1,954
"Is the journal peer-reviewed?"
All manuscripts (with the exception of invited articles) are peer-reviewed
by 3 to 4 reviewers.
Review process takes approximately 8 weeks after receipt of manuscript to
the Managing Editor (me). The Journal has a collection of outstanding
reviewers. Although the vast majority of reviewers have had
publishing/reviewing experience, it is the aim of the journal to provide an
opportunity for young health educators to become involved with the review
process. Thus approximately 10% of our reviewers are young professionals.
I typically team a young professional with a seasoned reviewer when I
receive a manuscript. So far I have been very impressed with the young
professionals' reviewing.
Please note that the January issue was invited articles only.
Turn-around Time from Acceptance to Publication:
Once accepted, manuscripts were published within 6-8 weeks.
"What is the Subscription Price?"
>From January 1998 to June 1999: $ 0.00
Effective July 1, 1999: $25 per year (professionals)
$15 for students
For those individuals who submit a paid subscription between January 1,
1999 and June 30, 1999 a six month extension will be added to their
subscription. Information about subscribing can be found on the journal's
web page...click the "register" link.
"Where can I obtain author guidelines?"
You can find them at:
http://www.iejhe.siu.edu
Click the author guidelines
Thanks for all of your support.

Subject: FYI, dissertations, research findings of interest...
** Submit Your Abstract to the HEDIR Technology Seminar:**
** http://www.kittle.siu.edu/hedir1999.html
FYI- (I have cc'd the message to the authors being reviewed; if there is a
problem with the address, I will let you know.)
I have read few reports and been present at an oral presentation of dissertation, and it is my
intention to give you a brief of each. Please contact the authors for further information.
Before the brief reports, I wish to mention that there is also a genetic finding with lenthened QT
(ECG) within the families of SIDS. In cases of SIDS, further investigation of the families have to
be made. This was apparently reported two weeks ago in the Finnish medical journal, Duodecim.
If you do not find it in the American literature please let me know. I will try to locate the latest.
Also, the Chronicle of Higher Education has apparently featured some annoying details about
Finnish higher education, and I have to agree with some details of the writings I have seen,
although individual differences do exist among the students as expected.
Unemployment situations of recent years have resulted in more than earlier numbers of physicians
going for doctorates, and the results are about to be seen: record numbers of dissertations at
universities. I will briefly detail selected results of interest to Hedir-readers. Riikka Potsonen is
health educator at the U of Jyvaskyla/Finland, others are physicians with degrees from U of
Turku/Finland.
***********
AIDS education
Riikka Potsonen (with dots above o's) (riikka.potsonen@jyu.fi) Growing as a woman, growing as
a man, growing as a conscious citizen. (Finnish with some reports in English) (Dec. 19th, 1998)
Riikka investigated sexual experiences together with HIV/AIDS knowledge, attitudes, and
sources of information among 13- and 15-year-olds. Behaviors did not change significantly
between 1990 and 1994; 7% of 13-year-olds and 26% of 15-year-olds had had sexual intercourse.
Knowledge level is perceived good, with interesting attitude findings. For further information,
please contact Riikka.
***********
Weight gain
Eriika Savontaus (eriika.savontaus@utu.fi). Antiobesity effects of adrenergic drugs activating
thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue. (Dec 4th, 1998)
It is my understanding that Eriika used animal tests but there is speculation that brown fat might
be activated and weight reduced with the use of drugs.
***********
"Montezuma's revenge"
Juha Kirveskari (juha.kirveskari@utu.fi). Reactive joint infection caused by Salmonella [my
translation]. (Finnish, contact Juha for further reports) (Nov 27th, 1998)
Of the 3000 Finns who annually bring a momento of Salmonella from abroad, a few hundred have
an infection elsewhere in the body as a result in one to four weeks. The infection can develop into
a disease mimicking rheumatic disease if no attention is devoted to it quickly. Called a tourist
diarrhea, the disease is more likely with those having an inherited tissue form of HLA-B27.
According to Juha, Finns have a slightly higher rate (14%) of the tissue form than the rest of the
world (10%).
***********
Alcohol and tobacco/HPV
Sari Atula (sari.atula@huch.fi). Pathogenic mechanisms in the genesis of oral and laryngeal cancer
with special reference to Human Papillomavirus (HPV) and cell cycle regulation. (Nov 13th,
1998)
Sari's hunt for genetic and viral reasons for oral and laryngeal cancer resulted in five conclusions
including:
- "p53 mutations were associated with tumor size and grade in tongue carcinoma patients of
all age groups, pointing to the role of disturbed p53 function in enhancing tumor progression..."
- "in younger patients with tongue cancer, smoking seemed to be an etiologic factor but
hereditary and immunologic factors were obviously also involved in some patients."
- "...mainly HPV 16, was found in 16.5% of the samples..."
Since HPV DNA was not found in the majority of the samples, her conclusion was that "HPV
probably co-operates with other carcinogenic factors to promote carcinogenesis". Please direct
further questions to Sari.
***********
Prenatal and genetic screening (2 dissertations)
Paivi Santalahti (paivi.santalahti@utu.fi). Prenatal screening in Finland--availability and women's
decision-making and experiences. (Nov 28th, 1998)
The general aim was to decribe prenatal screening as a health service activity. Questionnaire
mailed to all public hospitals with ob&gyn depts (response rate 100%) and to a random sample of
100 municipalities (response rate 99%); samples of women visiting maternity health care centers
in two towns offering screening and one town with ultrasound available. Those women receiving
positive serum screening results and a group of individually matched controls were invited to
semi-structured interviews; 45 case and 46 control women participated. Knowing a person with
congenital disability was negatively associated with participation in serum screening and intention
to terminate pregnancy in case of a detected fetal disorder. Severe anxiety was recorded as a
result of a positive finding in screening.
***********
Marja Hietala (marja.hietala@utu.fi). Prospects for genetic screening in Finland, evaluation of the
feasibility of carrier screening in primary health care using aspartylglucosamiuria carrier screening
as a model. (Oct 3rd, 1998)
Finnish population (69% in this sample) and AGU relatives (86% in this sample) in particular hold
positive attitudes towards genetic testing. Potential discrimination and eugenic consequences of
genetic testing were of concern.
Both of the last two are of major importance too but please direct questions to the authors. Thank
you.

Have a healthy year of 1999, everyone.

From: Ansa Ojanlatva
Subject: New legal codes in Finland
** Submit Your Abstract to the HEDIR Technology Seminar:**
** http://www.kittle.siu.edu/hedir1999.html
This year of 1999 began with some new Finnish laws, including 17 legal codes for education.
1. Schooling and education
If you have been working with the Finnish school system, there are new laws to worry about
effective 1.1.1999. Health education is not mentioned by name (that I have been able to gather)
for basic required education but there is a mention of growth as a human being, ethically
responsible behavior, and equality, life long learning, work together with homes, and I assume
that health education is integrated. Health science is mentioned for the high school years (3 yrs)
together with physical education, but the units are elective for those who have had their 18th
birthday, and the same goes for vocational institutions in place of high school.
Perhaps the most intersting new element from my perspective is that the language of the school is
either Finnish or Swedish BUT Finnish, Swedish, or Saame (one of the Lappish languages) are
taught as first (native) languages, AND according to a choice of the guardian, Romany language,
sign language, or other language of the student can be taught as the first language.
2. Legal codes re: sexuality
Rapes are now being divided into three groups:
Rape: forcing someone to have sexual relations through threats or by making the victim unable to
defend him-/herself. It is enough that one does not submit.
Aggrevated rape: rape purposefully resulting in difficult infirmity, illness/disease or dangerous
situation. This is also classified when there is more than one rapist, or when physical or
emotional/mental suffering is caused.
Forced sexual relations: when there is little force, e.g. by otherwise revealing information to a
spouse. When the law in the process of being written, this caused much discussion; one judge had
let a man go because there was only a little bit of force --as if one could be a little bit pregnant.
Another court overturned the first sentence, and the law was also clarified.
Rape will bring 1-6 yrs of jail. Aggrevated rape will bring 2-10 yrs. Forced sexual relations will
always bring jail, up to 3 yrs. The law has been written so that the rapist is not only a man, anyone
can fit the category, and anyone can be raped; this means that women and homosexual partners
are also included. Rape in marriage was so classified in 1994 and the law will continue as passed.
Also, rapes are regulated by "district attorneys"/the attorney forcing the case: a rapist cannot any
longer escape indictment by threatening a victim. Female groups have reacted to the last one of
the three, thinking that it will be the main group of sentences but by not being able to excape and
pay a fine has calmed the talks. Finland has had a rather low inmate population and some jails
have been reallocated to other uses. Time will tell if this remains and no new jail cells are needed.
It is expected that some increases in imprisonment will be expected.
Child abuse is also regulated further. Age of consent is 16, with sexual relations punisheable by
law as child sexual abuse and resulting up to 4 yrs of imprisonment. However, in incestual
relations the legal age limit is 17, and the sentence will hold additional notes. An aggrevated child
sexual abuse may result in a minimum of 1 yr and a max of 10 yrs. Distribution of child
pornography may bring up to 2 yrs, but possession alone can also bring sentences and police
officers are allowed to search for such pictures. The Finnish first case of internet possession and
distribution of child pornography is in the courts.
And finally, women are expected to have new protection under the law effective immediately
according to which a spouse can be denied approaches. I do not have the details as yet.

Subject: Excerpts of Wellness Show
** Submit Your Abstract to the HEDIR Technology Seminar:**
** http://www.kittle.siu.edu/hedir1999.html
Good morning,
HBO Group, sponsor of The Wellness Show "Ask
the Wellness Expert," will offer a week-long
series of wellness programs with guest hosts
Bill Hettler, Judd Allen and Deborah Jones
joining me the week of February 8 - 12. Each
night will have a different focus, though
each host will entertain the usual variety of
queries.
The questions and answers from last night's
show can be read at www.yourhealth.com
Click on "Yesterday's Transcript" and you're
there. Enjoy. Some of the questions were
pretty wild. The answers, of course, were
tame or lame, depending on your view. :) If
you do have a look and care to comment, I'd
delight in hearing from you. Enjoy.
Don
PS. Here are some sample questions and a
couple responses.
3. Do you suppose it would be a wellness
oxymoron of sorts for a Twinkie company or a
dreaded tobacco manufacturer to offer
worksite wellness programs?
6. I have problems making decisions on
important matters. I want to be pragmatic,
but it's sometimes hard to do what is in my
self interest when that conflicts with
someone else's interests. The old zero sum
game dilemma, I suppose. How do you handle
this, or am I being too idealistic?
8. What's the difference in an
activity-centered as opposed to a
results-oriented health promotion program?
Do you favor one or the other.
10. What are the seven "C"s of effective
health promotion?
22. Is it true that you favor an affirmative
action program for persons NOT living a
wellness lifestyle? What is the nature of
your proposal? Does it have any chance of
being enacted?
================
QUESTION 7. I would like to become highly
skilled at something but I can't seem to find
any of the requisite talent? Do you think
everyone has talent? More personally, is
there a Michelangelo in all of us, including
me?
RESPONSE: Speaking of Michelangelo, did you
know he once said, "If people knew how hard I
have had to work to gain my mastery, it
wouldn't seem wonderful at all." That's an
actual quote I have seen many times, and it
implies that what looks like talent often is
hard work practiced time after time, year
after year until it looks easy to others.
There may not be a Michelangelo in you, or a
Mozart or a DiMaggio or Jordan or whomever,
but there is a potential for mastery at
something, provided you are willing to put in
the time, the hard work and the practice.
Believe in yourself and don't be afraid to
take chances. Or, as another Michelangelo
(namely Wayne Gretsky) put it, "You miss one
hundred percent of the shots you never take."
QUESTION 9. Can you think of a wellness
solution to the shortage of organs?
RESPONSE: As a matter of fact, I can. Thanks
for asking. The organ transplant waiting list
stands at about 60,000 people in the U.S.
Many will not get the hearts, kidneys,
livers, and other body parts they need to
survive. In addition, even more people will
have to go without a wide variety of donor
body parts that would make life immeasurably
better.
THE NEED. There is such a severe imbalance
between supply and demand that one Nobel
prize winner has suggested paying the
families of organ donors as a possible
solution to the problem. I have no problem
with that, though some fear it would not be
equitable, fair or inexpensive. Hey, if you
need an organ to live or to have any hope of
seeing again, you can deal with a solution
that is not quite equitable, fair or
inexpensive. Still, even though I have not
picked up my Nobel prize just yet, I think I
have a better idea. And, I'm sure you can
hardly wait to hear it. Right?
A TWO-PART PLAN. I propose a two-part
remedy. Part one is "donate or don't ask."
That is, to be eligible for a donor organ
someday, you should have signed a donor card
before your own need for one became apparent.
This part of my plan would do wonders in
motivating folks to sign up as organ donors.
This simple policy would create an incentive
beyond altruism, good will, a love for
humanity, and the like. These latter motives
rarely apply to more than a small segment of
the population--and the need for organ donors
is larger than the pool of available human
compassion.
PREFERENCES. Part two of my plan is a system
of preferences. Hey, liberals love
preferences, so they should back this and
when the conservatives see what kinds of
preferences I have in mind, they'll come
around, too. You watch.
Today, there are waiting lists, and some get
to move up faster than others. Waiting lists
for organ recipients is NOT based on
seniority. Need counts, but so should other
factors, and the other factors would matter
mightily in my plan.
FACTORING INTO THE DONOR FORMULA PERSONAL
WHIMS. One really neat quality of my plan is
that every organ donor would be able to
express one or a nearly endless list of his
or her own preferences regarding what kinds
of folks would be eligible for his/her organs
and, in the system I propose, those wishes
would be honored. Maybe just a few especially
odious forms of bias and prejudice would be
disallowed, say anything based on race, for
example, but other than that there should be
few restraints.
You want to favor vegetarian non-smokers?
Why not--they're YOUR organs! Why should
anyone object? You want to ban Visigoths
from your organs? That's your privilege in a
mostly free society like ours, and should not
be so hard for modern computer programs to
track and make clear your wishes, even when
you are long gone. Smokers (or non-smokers),
left (or right) handed people, those who live
in New York (or elsewhere)--in my organ donor
plan you can include or exclude nearly anyone
or any kind of character you like. We'll have
a lot more organs to pass around in the long
run with this approach.
GETTING PERSONAL. What criteria, standards or
preferences would YOU lay out for someone who
might eventually get to "rewear" your
precious parts after your earthly need for
them has passed? Have you thought about
this? Under my idea, you might want to, in
fact, you always surely would want to
exercise your right to pass along a few
conditions as to who of many in need would be
given preference to whatever parts of you
might be of value for someone else. To help
you think about this, I'll mention my own
likely conditions.
No, I would not expect a recipient candidate
for my organs to be a triathlete or even an
athlete, a health nut, a free thinker or
anything else along those lines. Let the
doctors pass along what they can along to
whomever seems to be a good match
biologically. Just take two criteria into
account: (1) did the person take reasonably
good care of his original parts? and (2) did
he carry an organ donor card?
SUMMARY. So, what do you think? Maybe there
are a few details to work out but, hey, the
Devil lurks in the details so I don't do
them. Please tell me what you think of this
broad two-part idea for creating a greater
organ donor resource base. We can delegate
the details after the basic plan has been
adopted.

S L O W D A N C E:
Have you ever watched kids
on a merry-go-round
Or listened to the rain
slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?
You better slow down
Don't dance so fast
Time is short
The music won't last
Do you run through each day on the fly
When you ask "How are you?"
do you hear the reply?
When the day is done,
do you lie in your bed
With the next hundred chores
running through your head?
You'd better slow down
Don't dance so fast
Time is short
The music won't last
Ever told your child,
We'll do it tomorrow
And in your haste, not see his sorrow?
Ever lost touch,
Let a good friendship die
'Cause you never had time
to call and say "Hi"?
You'd better slow down
Don't dance so fast
Time is short
The music won't last
When you run so fast to get somewhere
You miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry through your day,
It is like an unopened gift....
Thrown away...
Life is not a race.
Do take it slower
Hear the music
Before the song is over.
PLEASE FORWARD THIS TO HELP THIS LITTLE GIRL
Dear HEDIR friends,
I just received this mail from a friend of mine. Please respond to it by
sending it to your fiends. It will just mean employing a little bit of time
and won't cost you a penny. All it needs is the heart for you to send this
mail.
It is the request of a little girl who will soon leave this world as
she has been a victim of the terrible disease called CANCER. Thank you for
your effort, this isn't a chain letter, but a choice for all of us to
save a little girl that's dying of a serious and fatal form of cancer.
This little girl has 6 months left to live, and as her dying wish, she
wanted to send a chain letter telling everyone to live their life to
fullest, since she never will. She'll never make it to prom, graduate from
high school, or get married and have a family of her own. By you sending
this to as many people as possible, you can give her and her family a
little hope, because with every name that this is sent to, The AMERICAN
CANCER SOCIETY will donate 3 cents per name to her treatment and recovery
plan.
Peace and Health,
Terry

1. This is indeed a chain letter.
2. This is a hoax. Here's an excerpt from the "Fraudulent Chain Letter"
notice on the ACS website.
The American Cancer Society is greatly disturbed by
reports of a fraudulent chain letter circulating on the
internet which lists the American Cancer Society as a
"corporate sponsor" but which has in no way been
endorsed by the American Cancer Society. There are
several variations of this letter in circulation, including
one which has a picture of "Tickle Me Elmo" and one
that is essentially a paraphrase of the letter below.
The text of the original message reads as follows:
LITTLE JESSICA MYDEK IS SEVEN YEARS OLD AND IS
SUFFERING FROM AN ACUTE AND VERY RARE CASE OF
CEREBRAL CARCINOMA. THIS CONDITION CAUSES
SEVERE MALIGNANT BRAIN TUMORS AND IS A TERMINAL
ILLNESS. THE DOCTORS HAVE GIVEN HER SIX MONTHS
TO LIVE.
AS PART OF HER DYING WISH, SHE WANTED TO START
A CHAIN LETTER TO INFORM PEOPLE OF THIS CONDITION
AND TO SEND PEOPLE THE MESSAGE TO LIVE LIFE TO
THE FULLEST AND ENJOY EVERY MOMENT, A CHANCE
THAT SHE WILL NEVER HAVE. FURTHERMORE, THE
AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY AND SEVERAL
CORPORATE SPONSORS HAVE AGREED TO DONATE
THREE CENTS TOWARD CONTINUING CANCER
RESEARCH FOR EVERY NEW PERSON THAT GETS
FORWARDED THIS MESSAGE. PLEASE GIVE JESSICA
AND ALL CANCER VICTIMS A CHANCE.
While this is not the same exact post, it is clearly derivative of the
above.
3. Do not send it to anyone, you will only clog up mailservers.
4. Next time before forwarding a post such as this, check it out first.

As an American Cancer Society employee, I apologize for circulating this
letter. I did not check the source, as it was sent to me by another ACS
employee. However, I do hope that you enjoy the message in SLOW DANCE poem
and that it brings some joy and peace into your life. Though I will not
send the bottom portion to any additional people, I plan for forward the
"poem" to many of my friends.
The ACS website does indeed address this letter though it also states:
Although we are very concerned that the American Cancer Society's
name has been used to manipulate the online public, WE APPLAUD THE GOOD
INTENTIONS OF ALL WHO PARTICIPATED IN THIS LETTER. WE ARE PLEASED TO
NOTE
THAT THERE ARE SO MANY CARING INDIVIDUALS OUT THERE and hope that they
will
find another way to support cancer research. Jessica story, whether true or
false, is representative of that of many cancer patients who benefit daily
from the efforts of legitimate cancer organizations
nationwide.

Hello. Below is information regarding a CDC public health
prevention fellowship program. Applications are due later this
month. Please forward to interested colleagues.
Thank you,

Public Health Prevention Service (PHPS)
A unique three year on-the-job training program offered by the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention
Vision of PHPS
The Public Health Prevention Service (PHPS) is committed to the principles
of training through service; developing leadership at the local, state,
and national levels; building public health infrastructure; and promoting
health through prevention. Participants will be assigned to positions that
offer opportunities to apply science-based principles and models in the
design, implementation, and evaluation of prevention programs.
Opportunities
The PHPS program offers: responsible work at community, state, and national
levels; career development through PHPS training, seminars, and
CDC-sponsored activities such as distance learning courses, national
conferences, and meetings; on-the-job training with supervision by
experienced public health professionals; opportunities to serve on
multidisciplinary teams; and exposure to a broad array of prevention
programs and public health issues. Upon completing the PHPS program,
participants are expected to be highly competitive for future employment
with local, state, and federal public health agencies, as well as voluntary,
community, and managed-care organizations.
Work Assignments
In the first year of the PHPS program, participants will have two six-month
work assignments at a CDC facility. Each assignment will be in a different
program area (e.g., immunization, injury control and prevention) and will
focus on skill development and enhancement. Most assignments will involve
some travel. In the second and third years of the program, each participant
will have a single assignment with a variety of responsibilities in a state
or local health department. All such assignments are based on program needs,
although geographic preferences of participants will be accommodated
whenever possible. Program participants will use their technical expertise
and skills to develop, implement, and/or evaluate public health projects and
programs. Assignment examples may include: implementing an assessment of
vaccination coverage at the local level; developing a manual which provides
guidelines for using economic incentives to reduce tobacco use and support
tobacco control programs; conducting an investigation of current STD
screening, treatment, and prevention practices in juvenile detention
centers; designing and implementing a national survey on the impact of
managed care on TB control and prevention ; developing a statistical model
to estimate state childhood lead poisoning prevalence; conducting research
on the privatization of public health services and the evolution of public
health departments ; developing a community campaign to increase bicycle
helmet use among children; developing a national arthritis plan; creating
and field testing a webpage on rabies for children; and designing and
implementing a community assessment in the prevention and control of
syphilis.
Salary and Benefits
The base salary for the first year is approximately $30,000, with
geographic adjustments and increases in the second and third years.
Benefits include vacation and sick leave, health insurance, and some
relocation expenses.
Eligibility
Persons eligible for PHPS include professionals with a strong interest in a
career in public health and both a master's degree related to public
health, and U.S. citizenship. At least one year of work experience in
public health, which may include an internship or a thesis project in a
community setting as a part of a master's degree program, is highly
desirable. Persons considering the PHPS program should be prepared to make
a three-year commitment and accept the relocation and mobility requirements
of this program.

I re-read my reponse to Terry's post and think that I was bit abrupt, so
before anyone emails me and says "Don't be mean, Terry was only trying to
be helpful", let me say this.
I absolutely agree with both Terry and ACS that people who mistakenly send
these type of posts mean well. I think raising awareness and raising
funds for prevention efforts are important ventures. I also think
inspirational messages like the poem and like Andy J.'s Friday
Inspirations are nice things and can perk up a person's day.
I do not think, however, that these sorts of posts are simply harmless
hijinks (not that anyone here has suggested they are). They clog up
mailservers, which ends up slowing down the whole system and goodness
knows the "world wide wait" is slow enough. They also breed misinformation
and create fear, two things which are in direct opposition to the work of
a health educator.
Since I adminished Terry and everyone else (I sent my reply to the
list for a reason) to check these things out before forwarding them on, I
have an obligation to tell you how to do this. Aside from going to the
source, you can also check out the Mining Company's Urban Legends website
at: http://urbanlegends.tqn.com/ and click on Current Net Hoaxes. (You can
also search by topic). Current health-related topics include HIV-infected
needle attacks, aspartame warnings and asbestos in tampons. This site is
also fun if you're just bored and want something to read. (I took a
folklore class in college and while the emails irritate me, I am totally
amused by urban legends as a genre.)
Enjoy the weekend!

Because of a glitch in my system, we are extending the deadline for the
HEDIR Technology Seminar, sponsored by Jones and Bartlett Publishers, that
will be held at the AAHE conference until January 22nd.
Below is the call for the submissions:
Over the past several years Jones and Bartlett Publishers has hosted a
series of instructional programs on ways to integrate various technological
activities into one's course of instruction.
During the 1999 (American Association for Health Education) AAHE
Conference in Boston (April 21-24th), Jones and Bartlett Publishers, in
keeping with furthering their commitment to the health education
discipline, will be sponsoring the first annual HEDIR Technology Seminar.
The seminar will provide a forum to share examples of how technology is
being used effectively in health education.
The HEDIR Technology Seminar will be a program that will feature
several health educators sharing how they are incorporating technology into
the classroom to advance their instruction. All proposals will be reviewed
by a panel of experts in health education. Notification of acceptance will
take place no later than February 15th. Participants will have
approximately 10 minutes to present their activity, with approximately 5
minutes for questions and answers.
All participants who have their papers accepted must agree to
provide a short narrative describing their activity; a Microsoft PowerPoint
or Corel Presentation Slide Show; and agree to be audio recorded during the
presentation. The text, the slide show, and the audio will then be placed
on a special web page to be accessed off the HEDIR Web Page and the Jones
and Bartlett Web Page.
To have your presentation considered, you must submit in an
electronic format (e-mail) addressed to kittle@siu.edu a 250 word abstract
describing the technology and how it is incorporated into a particular
type of course (i.e., general health, stress management, community
organizing). The document can be send via an attachment (please use Word
Perfect, Microsoft Word or Rich Text Format). All submissions must be
received no later than January 22, 1999. Below the 250 word abstract
include your name, title, affiliation, e-mail, fax, and voice numbers.
Presentations will take place in Boston during the AAHE
Conference at a luncheon sponsored by Jones and Bartlett Publishers (more
information about attending that luncheon will be given later). Presenters
will not be provided any reimbursement for travel or conference attendance.
For more information please contact Mark J. Kittleson, Ph.D.,
HEDIR Technology Seminar Coordinator (kittle@siu.edu) or Paul Shepardson,
Editor, Jones and Bartlett Publishers (pauls@jb.com).

Fellow HEDIRs...
>From 1979 to 1989 I taught on a regular basis a consumer health class for
undergraduates. After nearly a 10 year hiatus from teaching the class, I
am now teaching it on a regular basis here at SIU. I've been having
trouble finding a book and am hoping that somebody out in HEDIRland will be
able to assist me. If you have never taught Consumer Health, then the rest
of this memo is not relevant to you.
While teaching in the 80s I used Consumer Reports magazine quite a bit. In
addition, Consumer Reports also published a book (that was given to you
free if you subscribed) entitled "Medical Guide" (or something like that).
This was in addition to their annual "Buyers Guide"--a book that
highlighted thousands of products and discussed their reliability and the
CR ratings. The "Medical Guide" included very specific information about
the various over the counter products, prescription products, and numerous
other "health-related" products. The consumersreport web page
(http://www.consumersreport.com) doesn't list any of their publications.
Does anybody recall this book? Do you know when they stopped producing
this book? Have you found anything similar? Any suggestions would be
greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Dear Colleagues,
I am currently developing a new course entitled "Information Literacy,
Teaching, and Learning." The course is designed for school health
education majors but may be taken by any elementary or secondary education
undergraduate student. The course will focus on how to integrate
computer-based technology into the classroom at K-12 levels. It will also
focus on improving teacher knowledge and skills in using computer-based
technology applications such as electronic gradebooks, powerpoint, internet
searches, creating simple web pages, etc.
I am looking for a textbook which would focus on using computer-based
technology to enhance information literacy, teaching, and learning for
preservice educators. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Please respond to :

Over the holiday break I had the opportunity to examine two terrific new
resources that may be of interest to health educators. They are both
related to health and gender.
"Contemporary Women's Health: Issues for Today and the Future" is a
comprehensive text (published by WCB/McGraw-Hill) by Cheryl Kolander,
Danny Ballard and Cynthhia Chandler. The 400+ pages and 20 chapters are
packed full of topical info and content critical to women's lives and
health. The layout is easy to read, colorful and well-designed. Unique
features include journalling activities, "Her Story" case studies,
Healthy People 2000 notes. And it's up to date, including references to
such things as "roofies --rohypnol, date rape drug," surrogacy, cosmetic
surgery, and medical insurance options.Includes websites and health
tips. Highly recommended for anyone teaching about women's health.
Information can be found at their website:
http://www.mhhe.com/catalogs/health-1378.mhtml
The other resource is quite unique: "Men's Health & Wellness: 50 Health
Promotion Ideas for Educators, Practitioners & Planners." Written by
Joe Zoske, men's health promotion specialist, this slender volume is not
a text, but it's designed to spur thinking and generate action. There
isn't a lot out there on men's health, and this book helps fill the gap,
with 115 pages of ideas to get you started. Each idea is introduced by
a related quote or citation. For instance, idea #38, "Raise Awareness
About Threats to Male Fertility" begins with this quote "Men often form
impressions of their value as individuals by evaluating their
accomplishments--sperm production being no exception"--William
Marsiglio, Procreative Man, NYU Press, 1998. This resource is available
from Joe Zoske. His e-mail address is zoskej@CRISNY.ORG
Hope the year will be healthy for all of you! Iz

A grad student in Israel has asked me for a list of the latest articles
on "The economic impacts of Worksite health promotion programs."
Anyone out there in Health Ed "heater" land have an existing
bibliography you can share or attach to e-mail back to me and/or the
HEDIR?
I will compile the list folks share, and, with permission, post it on
the HEDIR.
Thanks!

actual costs out of the publisher's catalog plus nominal costs for
copied materials: about $100- $350 (i.e., Grades 9-10 THTM is about
$350, depending on number- we get a volume discount that we pass on to
you). We are even offering a quality Lands' End Polo Shirt, with
Cruise Logo, for only $28.00.
The list of curricula or program above does not guarantee that the
workshop will be offered. We need 15 participants in each track for it
to to make the final agenda.
CHES CECHS will be available @ $10 per CECH. School Health Nurses- we're
