Review of Group Presentations Discussion Board Post
Submission Instructions for the Presentation: After completing
the group presentation, each group will submit their
presentation to two locations: the assignment link and also to
the “Review of Group Presentations Discussion Board link”
located in BB Week Four. Presentations will be submitted to
this link at the same time the presentation is due (Sunday of the
third week of the course). Throughout the fourth week of the
course students will review the presentations and submit the DB
post.
Discussion Board Post Instructions: Students will visit the
group presentations discussion board to view each group’s
submission detailing a specific CDC campaign. Students will
then choose one presentation (other than their own) to focus
their review on. The review will describe the selected campaign,
discuss campaign achievements, assess health promotion
methods used and analyze if the selected methods are
appropriate for each audience level. Lastly, students will
identify and discuss an aspect of each campaign and its
connection to the health communication campaign model; social
marketing techniques; and/or advocacy concepts.
One discussion board post required (no peer response posts
needed). Use the bulleted outline to help you organize your
responses. Address each of the aspects below for full credit.
· Describe the campaign you chose to review and why you were
interested in learning more about this campaign.
· What were/are two of the campaign outcomes
(achievements/success) connected to the campaign
goals/objectives included in the presentation? Describe. If the
campaign outcomes were not included, research the outcomes.

Were you able to locate any? Describe.
· Looking at three different audience levels in the presentation
(for example, individual, organizational, community) locate and
share one health promotion method utilized for each level (three
total). If the presentation does not describe one for each level,
source an additional method from the CDC website and
describe.
. Discuss and describe why the method may, or may not be, the
best for that specific audience level. Use your text or additional
source to support your reasoning.
· Discuss and explain one other aspect of the campaign that is
connected to steps of the health communication campaign
model; social marketing techniques and/or advocacy concepts.
Review Chapters 4, 5, 13 and 14 to help you.
As with other discussion board posts, APA citations and
references are required. View the rubric description in BB week
four.
The presentation review post is 20 points, and is due the fourth
week, Friday, 11:59 pm PST.

When you speak directly to your elected officials or testify at a
public hearing, sharing your personal experiences can have a
tremendous impact. If you do not speak out about what makes
good public health policy, legislators will either assume either
that no one cares about the program, so funding can be cut, or
that no changes are needed. (Bensley & Brookins-Fisher, 2009,
p. 333)

Most common type of barriers
Limited or no audience input
Lack of audience feedback and lack of pre-testing

Prescription (Rx) Awareness Campaign
Group 4
Lora Urig and Shyela Webster
National University
COH 430 HP Strategies & Tactics
Introduction Explanation of
Campaign
70,237 drug overdose deaths 47,600 involved opioids (Scholl,
Seth, Kariisa, Wilson, & Baldwin, 2018)
“To increase awareness that prescription opioids can be
addictive and dangerous.”
To decrease the amount of people who recreationally and/or
abuse opioids. (CDC,2017)
1,000 patients are treated in the emergency room due to the
misuse of prescription opioids; and approximately 46 patients
die from an opioid overdose everyday.
September 2017: 16 counties in Kentucky, Ohio, Massachusetts,
and New Mexico.
March 2018: increases to 27 states and the District of Columbia.

In 2017 of the 70,237 deaths caused by drug overdose; 47,600
were involving opioids. This in an overall increase of 12% from
2016.
According to the Centers for Disease Control the Rx Awareness
Campaign goal is to “increase awareness that prescription
opioids can be addictive and dangerous.” Additionally, the
campaign attempts to decrease the amount of people who
recreationally and/or abuse opioids. This campaign is necessary
because 1,000 patients are treated in the emergency room due to
the misuse of prescription opioids; and approximately 46
patients die from an opioid overdose everyday. The campaign
wishes to raise the awareness to the public on the severity of the
issues, furthermore the Rx campaign wants to decrease those
who utilize prescription opioids for nonmedical issues and help
those who use prescription opioids for pain management find
other pain management techniques. The Rx Campaign launched
across 16 counties in Kentucky, Ohio, Massachusetts, and New
Mexico. It has since increased to 27 states and the District of
Columbia as of March 2018. (CDC, 2017)

Health promotion methods for the Individual Level
CDC Guidelines for Prescribing Opioids for Chronic Pain
include:
Determining when to initiate or continue opioids for chronic
pain
Opioid selection, dosage, duration, follow-up, and

discontinuation
Assessing risk and addressing harms of opioid use (Dowell,
Haegerich, Chou, 2016)
The Centers of Disease Control has guidelines for prescribing
opioids for chronic pain; this includes determining when to
initiate or continue opioids (if the benefit of opioid usage
outweighs the anticipated risk to the patient); the doctor and
patient must come up with a treatment plan entailing which
opioid, the dosage amount, the length of time to take the opioid,
continuous follow-up appointments, and the ultimate
discontinuation of the opioid; additionally the doctor and
patient need to talk and be aware of the risks and potential
harms when taking opioids. (Dowell, Haegerich, Chou, 2016)
