Based on the conversations I have heard from many people over the past few
days, the following changes are taking place:
1) When one clicks reply it will automatically be addressed back to the
HEDIR.not the individual who sent it.as many recalled this was changed many,
many years ago because people couldn't note that this was sent to the list
(and some of the messages were more personal). Noting that the users of
email are much more sophisticated than they were in the early days, it has
been changed back.so note that when you click reply it goes back to the list
(in most email systems). If you want it for the individual, change the 'To'
email.
2) Starting immediately, the HEDIR will allow attachments. Many
indicated that you've tried to send something and it was rejected.because of
the sophistication of email systems, many have attachments such as
signatures, graphics, etc. The initial reason for eliminating attachments
was to prevent unscrupulous people from sending virus-laden items. That
can't happen anymore because only those listed in the HEDIR can send
messages. Also, since almost all people now have virus software (or you
should!) this is no longer a major problem.
Also, from our IT guy here at Southern, who's pretty sharp.there's chatter
than on February 3 a virus will be forwarded that disables software on
Windows programs. The IT guy says it's not a problem.just make sure you
update your virus checker (daily) -most of the virus software are aware of
this problem-and he suggests that on February 3 you run a full virus scan on
your computer (most of you know that with virus software there's two
components-those that 'catch' viruses as they come in via email.the other
component is to run a scan on those that have entered the system through
other means.

Mark,
I am a little bit surprised at how little early chatter your HEDIR Update
message generated. It may be that the academics are busy getting their spring
semesters and winter quarters started. The non-academics may be distracted by
various work issues. Or, it could be that most subscribers currently view HEDIR
as a source of announcements, rather than a tool for dialog. A third
positibility is that dialog with colleagues is of little value at this point for
many. After all, colleagues chattering on HEDIR typically cannot solve the
problem one has at work.
Maybe HEDIR is experiencing the pattern that is common to many list services.
Initially the novelty of being able to air views with colleagues is interesting,
pleasing and/or entertaining. When the volume of messages grows large, the
traffic becomes preceived as a burden to screen. For some subscribers, views
contrary to their own offend them or at least make dialog less appealing. For
many such reasons, it is common that the volume of chatter drops . List services
that post announcements and update reports tend to continue to maintain
subscribers. Those that do not frequently disappear. This is particularly true
when maintenance of the list service operations depends on the interest of a
person devoted to dialog.
HEDIR has remained useful to many subscribers because of the diversity of the
functions it performs. It has been sustained because you have devoted much time
and resources to maintain it. Our profession owes you a debt of gradtitude for
creating HEDIR and maintaining it.

Thanks, Bill. You and all out there in HEDIR land, let me just say that to
me organizational growth is just one of those miracles I can never get over.
In fact, I often "fret" that it's not an area we study enough in health
education. Maybe people remember Beverly Ware and her worksite health
program work that included a strong knowledge of organizational development
- Paul Mico's and Helen Ross's Book Theory and Practice in Health Education
(which should probably be on everyone's Ana Skiff bookshelf...remember how
we once tried to think about what books Ana might think we should all have)
also included a very important chapter on organizational development and
change models that I continue to refer to. I think it's to all of our
advantages to know more about organizational development.

And I think that's part of the issue, Bill - where are the
messages? I used
to hear a dialogue - and yes, there were lots of messages, but I
could
choose what to do with them, but now...if I see anything, it's
so rare, I'm
almost surprised. If there's a way to reopen the dialogue, I
have a couple
of issues I'd like to discuss - I've held back, as it were,
because I had a
sense of shouting in the dark - or whatever the expression might
be. Hope
we can get more of the old give and take back - as I said, I
have some
things to d iscuss, but want to reach everyone and want everyone
to have a
chance to write back so that all can hear.

Marks and others interested:
Fulop is probably right about those of us who fired off zesty,
bareknuckled
comments about controversial topics in the early days of HEDIR
getting
overwhelmed by competing list services and other applications of
electronic
communications. He is probably also right about some of the
grassroots
health educators being hunkered down trying to survive.
In my case, I took on time and one-half employment for two
years. My
schedule in the full time job, plus the commute to and from work
curtailed
my participation in HEDIR dialog. Since I reduced my employment
to half
time (retirement teaching option at Texas Woman's University), I
have had
some major family health concerns and grieving of dying
relatives and
colleagues to address.
Of course, there were some early participants in the heated
exchanges who
were easily offended and withdrew from the excahnges. I heard
that one of
our colleagues vowed to never speak to me again. He is
politically
conservative, which does not necessarily mean he is pleased with
some of the
actions of the presidential administration. He found the
liberal ideas of
some of the more active contributors to HEDIR dialog
threatening.
One of the better functions of HEDIR that I have appreciated,
along with the
job vacancy and continuing education announcements, has been a
sharing of
the the good (engagements, weddings, promotions, etc.) and the
bad (illness,
injuries and disaster/disaster relief stories). It is good to
learn when
colleagues have events affecting their lives. I particularly
appreciated
the sharing of Bob Russell's experience on the "offramp of life"
and his
obituary. Other important messages that I appreciated in the
past year
were on the illness of Bill Kane, the challenges Hurricanes
Katrina and Rita
visited upon Michael Pejsach and others in Louisiana,
Mississippi, and
Texas, and the trauma experienced by Michael Jenkins.
While I have not contributed nearly as much to the dialog on
HEDIR for the
past couple of years, I have continued to find the messages I
receive highly
worthwhile. Maybe most of those 1,500 plus members of this list
service are
pleased that a few of us are posting less frequently these days.

Generally, reviewers will receive 4-5 proposals along with instructions
and a scoring sheet. These will be sent by March 1, and the scoring
sheets will need to be filled out and returned by April 1. Most
reviewers find it takes between 1-2 hours per proposal to complete the
review. There are no required conference calls.

Hello all,
I am an HEDIR lurker and from time to time I participate in discussions
if they interest me. But lately I have been troubled by the lack of
dialogue on interesting and important topics. I realize that I must
take some responsibility for this. Although I am responsive to posted
topics, I rarely initiate any. so I have recommitted myself to more
active participation on this listserv because I think it is an
extremely valuable resource for the profession.
so here goes- my topic for discussion
I am an occupational therapist with a PhD in health education from the
University of Maryland. I currently teach in an occupational therapy
curriculum and have been involved in a number meetings with federal
agencies about disasters (I live in Mobile Alabama). The meetings I
have been invited to attend have focused on the role of allied health
professions in disaster planning and response. The issues of
development of curricular materials and continuing education on this
topic have been at the forefront of these discussions. We also have
been asked to develop a set of core competencies for all allied health
professionals and specific competencies for each discipline. I have
been looking for health education/public health representation at these
meetings and have found none.
What are the fields of health promotion, public health and health
education doing to address the issues related to disasters? One of the
areas emphasized in the allied health meetings has been on mental
health issues after disaster. is anything being done about training in
this area? What are the competencies health educators need to
participate effectively in disaster situations?
Thanks! Hope this gets some discussion going.

With respect to Marjorie's questions, I know that our local chapter of SOPHE has
struggled for many years with the role of health educators and disaster
preparedness. We are hosting a conference next month in Corpus Christi to
address the topic (see www.tsophe.org/events.html for more information). Since
the recent Katrina/Rita experience, some of us have found our roles. Before
that, disaster preparedness seemed to focused on terrorism. As most of the
health issues we deal with daily are either chronic diseases or teenage specific
(alcohol and substance use, pregnancy), its been very difficult to relate these
to terrorism. So where are the health educators in the public debate? From
personal experience, they're working on the local issues that are the primary
health risks.

Hello all,
I am an HEDIR lurker and from time to time I participate in discussions
if they interest me. But lately I have been troubled by the lack of
dialogue on interesting and important topics. I realize that I must
take some responsibility for this. Although I am responsive to posted
topics, I rarely initiate any. so I have recommitted myself to more
active participation on this listserv because I think it is an
extremely valuable resource for the profession.
so here goes- my topic for discussion
I am an occupational therapist with a PhD in health education from the
University of Maryland. I currently teach in an occupational therapy
curriculum and have been involved in a number meetings with federal
agencies about disasters (I live in Mobile Alabama). The meetings I
have been invited to attend have focused on the role of allied health
professions in disaster planning and response. The issues of
development of curricular materials and continuing education on this
topic have been at the forefront of these discussions. We also have
been asked to develop a set of core competencies for all allied health
professionals and specific competencies for each discipline. I have
been looking for health education/public health representation at these
meetings and have found none.
What are the fields of health promotion, public health and health
education doing to address the issues related to disasters? One of the
areas emphasized in the allied health meetings has been on mental
health issues after disaster. is anything being done about training in
this area? What are the competencies health educators need to
participate effectively in disaster situations?
Thanks! Hope this gets some discussion going.

Ok, Marjorie, here you go. This has been a concern of mine for quite some
time, and here's what I think: short and simple...meaning I may well be
wrong:
We're often part of schools of education...as in Health Education...and so
we're not listed as a allied health profession.
Not sure what the history is, but it's my humble opinion, that if our
education-based profession were rooted or had roots in allied health, we'd
get invited to a lot more tables and much of the advocacy we do to grab a
seat at some of these places would become moot.
What does the rest of the world think?

Michael and Mark -
I have not participated in HEDIR discussions for a LONG time as one who
was persistently "jumped upon," largely through "private messages,"
whenever I "spoke my mind" with passion and enthusiasm. You are both
right on target regarding this revealing characteristic/professional
trait among us. Maybe we need some empowerment education of our own!!!

Amen, Karen.
Like you, I can't speak to the history but even as an undergraduate, I was not
convinced that Health Education should be housed in a College of Ed. as mine and
so many are. I understand that this can be a hot button issue on some campuses
among the health ed. faculty because, inevitably, community health (my major)
and school health are lumped together. This is another issue related to this
discussion. But, for the purposes of this one, I agree that housing a Health
education program as an Allied Health discipline would definitley increase our
professional recognition and opportunity to get invited to more tables.

Just to second the perception. We at Hofstra (in our Department of
Health Professions and
Family Studies) have an undergraduate school health education major, an
undergraduate community
health major, a graduate school health education major, a graduate
community health major (in its
infancy), a graduate program in health administration, and a graduate
program in marriage and family therapy--all
housed in the "School of Education (and Allied Human Services)." I put
the "allied human services" (what does
that mean anyway) in parentheses because even though it is officially
part of
the school I am a part of, the only thing that gets any traction is the
"Education" part. And, as we all know,
schools of education have been under assault (by our friends on the
right--with some good cause) for the
better part of the last quarter century as we move closer and closer to
a fully privatized system of education.
Alas, I digress.

Hello all,
I am an HEDIR lurker and from time to time I participate in
discussions
if they interest me. But lately I have been troubled by the lack of
dialogue on interesting and important topics. I realize that I must
take some responsibility for this. Although I am responsive to posted
topics, I rarely initiate any. so I have recommitted myself to more
active participation on this listserv because I think it is an
extremely valuable resource for the profession.
so here goes- my topic for discussion
I am an occupational therapist with a PhD in health education from the
University of Maryland. I currently teach in an occupational therapy
curriculum and have been involved in a number meetings with federal
agencies about disasters (I live in Mobile Alabama). The meetings I
have been invited to attend have focused on the role of allied health
professions in disaster planning and response. The issues of
development of curricular materials and continuing education on this
topic have been at the forefront of these discussions. We also have
been asked to develop a set of core competencies for all allied health
professionals and specific competencies for each discipline. I have
been looking for health education/public health representation at
these
meetings and have found none.
What are the fields of health promotion, public health and health
education doing to address the issues related to disasters? One of the
areas emphasized in the allied health meetings has been on mental
health issues after disaster. is anything being done about training in
this area? What are the competencies health educators need to
participate effectively in disaster situations?
Thanks! Hope this gets some discussion going.
