Hello:
=20
We need a few health educator reviewers for a new folic acid counseling
tutorial, which will be eligible for CE credit in collaboration with CDC. We
estimate that this content review will take about 1 hour of your time and we'd
ask you to be available to review the revised draft in a few weeks as well.
=20
Any interested parties should email me directly at agriffen@sbaa.org to receive
a copy of the tutorial content and review instructions.

Many thanks!

obesity epidemic

AAHE Invites Health Educators to Contribute to Community Responses to Obesity
The American Association for Health Education (AAHE) is pleased to provide
health education professionals with an opportunity to be leaders in helping your
community respond to the Obesity Epidemic in America. AAHE leaders encourage you
and your agency/school/university to develop and sponsor a "Preview Forum" on
Growing Pains: Community Responses to Obesity.
Preview Forum is a Ford Foundation-funded, national project created to bridge
the growing gap between local news organizations and their diverse communities.
Each Preview Forum brings together community members, local leaders, journalists
from all media, and newsroom managers to view excerpts of new films and
television programs and to share observations about what they see on the screen
and how the local press covers this issue. The goal of the project is to bridge
the divide between the media and diverse communities and get them to communicate
more effectively. These structured discussions are designed to open new lines of
communication between local news organizations and the communities they cover
and to foster news coverage that reflects deeper connections and fresh
perspectives.
This fall, Preview Forum invites communities to get involved in an innovative
media and dialogue project that brings together journalists and the communities
they cover to talk about the emerging weight problem in America. Whose problem
is it? Have we all suddenly become lazy, slothful, and self-indulgent? Has
technology changed the way we spend our time (or don't spend calories)? Is it
just too easy to eat too much? And to sit for too long?
As a sponsor and collaborating organization of the Fall 2004 Preview Forum, AAHE
would like to encourage health educators in universities, community agencies and
schools to develop and host a Forum on Obesity in your community.
The Preview Forum Project provides everything you need to conduct such a Forum
and provide this important leadership in your community and it is all FREE! This
Preview Forum features excerpts from the following recently released films and
television programs: Super Size Me; Fat and Happy?, Scientific American
Frontiers; Diet Wars, Frontline, and Fat Chance, CNN Productions.
To find out more about Preview Forum and how you can be a leader and get your
community involved, contact: Preview Forum, 8 Common Street, Waltham, MA 02451,
781/893-3336, 781/893-7772 fax, previewforum@roundtablemedia.com or
www.previewforum.com
Please take a few moments to let us here at AAHE know if you do provide Forum
leadership in your community - or if you are instrumental in encouraging some
others to conduct a Forum. We are interested in knowing if health educators find
this material of interest and use. Thank you.
