Folks,
A friend is in need of some help. They want to identify the three or four
larger undergraduate health education programs in the country (it doesn't
matter if its school or community base) and 3 or 4 of the larger masters
programs. If you are aware, or are involved with any large undergraduate
or masters program would you let me know the institution and approximate
number of graduates. For the sake of argument, let's say anything above
200 majors for the undergraduate majors and anything above 100 for the
graduate programs.
Thanks.

As many of you know, for a variety of reasons many health education
programs have been eliminated over the past decade. I am in the process
of building a case for these programs, so if you know of any program
that has been eliminated over the past decade, please forward the name
of institution and city to me. When I compile the list, I will share
with Listserv.

Can anyone give me the name of an organization(s) where I can be provided
with names of instructors in health education in colleges and universities,
nationally?
Healthy Teens is being used in Texas, California and Michigan but I would
like to call its attention to other professors and instructors.
Many thanks,

Dear Colleagues:
I would like to direct my graduate health education
students to websites that provide information about
the design AND implementation AND evaluation of health
education programs (community or patient education).
My students are required to present a sample program
and discuss how they might have done it differently;
some of the students have professional experience
outside of health education and need help finding a
program (including details of the program's design,
implementation and evaluation). I am surprised how
difficult it is to find this kind of information
on-line, beyond searching Medline/Pubmed for journal
articles reporting the results of program evaluation
research.
If you know of a specific "programs that work" link, I
will compile a list of responses and provide it to
HEDIR participants.
Thank you for your assistance.
Sincerely,
Lisa Benz Scott, PhD

I really appreciate the candor of this list regarding social norming. But,
with Chudley Werch, I would agree that while there is a decent body of
commentary and illustrative case studies (sans data) but that the empirical
evidence of the social norming approach is pretty thin. At best, social
norms is clearly a case where the "emperor has on fewer clothes than we
thought."
In addition to the thin data and heavy alcohol industry support, there is
another flaw that in our publishing world. For the most part we are willing
to present positive or negative data in published papers but when it comes
to case studies we typically publish successful case studies and do not
publish negative case studies. The reason has more to do with practitioners
more than publishers. What college health educator is willing to spend a
year or two doing social norming and when it fails, take the additional time
to write up the case study failure and submit it for publication? So in the
absence of data most theories end up with a biased amount of positive
literature and little cautionary literature to govern enthusiasm. And it is
worth reminding ourselves that repetition does not establish validity.
--Note, I am not singling our social norming as I am now working in the area
of youth mentoring and am finding the same reckless promotion of new
mentoring methodologies with little empirical support.
As a side note, when I worked for six years on a college campus managing
extra-campus student health related grant initiatives, I was housed in the
health promotion department of the student health center and my staff and
the health educators for the campus had numerous debates about social
norming. One thing we could not get past was assumption of social norming
that the campus is a homogeneous population. "Only 20% not 50% of the
college students binge drink" assumes that the frat student generalizes
his/her identity with the entire campus population. But that is a HUGE
assumption. Frat Students universe of "peer norm" is likely not the entire
campus but the universe of other frat students. And If s/he hammering down
5+ drinks in a short time with frat students every thur-sun night they
experience the reality of their peer group. To try and tell them that their
reality is wrong and only 20% of students binges, intuitively does not make
sense. "The sky is not blue it is really green... Stop looking up at the
sky...it is not blue it is green." I would suggest campuses are made up of
tribes and tribal differences require different and complex solutions.
thanks for the thoughts.

Hello! I'm developing my practicum at WVU for next spring I was wondering
if anyone could suggest a Standardized Inventory Review. I'm looking to
find out the health topic interests of 45+ arthritis suffers. Thank you so

Just for the record, I don't know of any campuses using alcohol industry
money for their social norms campaigns. That's not to say that there
aren't campuses that accept money from the alcohol industry. In most
cases, those monies fund TIPS training, National Collegiate Alcohol
Awareness Weeks and Designated Driver programs. Most schools that I'm
aware of have funded their social norms activities without the financial
support of the alcohol industry. Many of my colleagues do not accept
money from the alcohol industry. Please don't assume that all social
norms efforts are compromised by alcohol industry money.
I, too, am glad to hear critical discussion of social norm campaigns. My
trepidations have to do with applying the approach with heavy drinkers.
My understanding is that the positive results reported by some schools
are at institutions where a large majority of students are drinking 4 or
fewer drinks in a sitting. If the majority of your students drink far
more, (as with many fraternities) than your norm is truly higher.
Personally, I would be uncomfortable with a campaign that boasts that
75% of xyz fraternity or campus drinks 7 or fewer drinks in a sitting.
It seems to me that if this approach is effective, it is probably more
useful with students that drink closer to the norm of 4 or fewer drinks.
I believe this approach may work best for students in the middle of the
drinking spectrum.
Again, I feel at a disadvantage addressing various concerns around the
social norms approach as I am not necessary sold on it nor am I holding
myself out as having the requisite expertise. I have no doubt that some
college professionals would vigorously defend social norms campaigns.
Unfortunately, they seem to subscribe to other listserves and therefore
we are not getting the benefit of their perspective or experience. This
discussion is a valuable one as social norms approaches are being used
with other health issues such as tobacco and sexual health issues, as
well.

Neurons fire at the rate of 3 impulses per minute and when exposed to
cocaine fire at 200 times per second (4000 fold increase). Does anyone
know when exposed to nicotine at the rate that the
neurons fire?

Schools from kindergarten through high school were reminded by the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention last week that a provision of
the No Child Left Behind Act (P.L. 107-110) forbids indoor smoking in
any indoor space that's utilized to provide educational services,
routine health care, or library services to children under the age of
18.
