any ideas for an assignment?

[RoseBlood]

<p>I have a short paper due Monday and so far I've got nothing.</p><p>Here's the assignment:</p><p>As the psychological consultant to the health commissioner, you have been charged with developing a campaign to reduce the spread of the human papilloma virus (HPV) in the community, but particularly in the school population. Based on theories you can clearly reference, develop the rationale and the methodology for the campaign. How would you be certain that the campaign where working one year later. Remember, you have to present a plan for this program on which the lives of your fellow citizens a budget as well as your reputation depend. It is vital to make this work. be certain you include a means to judge the success of the plan at several stages up to one year after it has begun..</p><p>i hate school.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

step 1.. get visuals.&nbsp; click <a href="http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&amp;q=hpv&amp;btnG=Search+Images&amp;gbv=2">here</a> for google image search results and tell me if anyone would ever want that.

<p>I hate to admit it, but Buger is right. A picture does tell 1000 words (look at those damn *truth commercials)</p><p>But also back up each picture with some facts about the detriment of the virus.</p><p>Also, if this is to target the community as well as the school community it depends on where you are doing the assignment. Doing an inner city school you would need a different tactic then that of a suburban or rural school/community.</p><p>Figure out your audience and approach them in a manner of which they are used to, and appeal to them with something honest but fresh.</p><p>I do not think it is difficult to show the down sides and how stopping an STD virus would be a good thing.&nbsp; I would also start my campaign with college kids and work my way DOWN. High school is more difficult. Most parents either do not want to know what their kids are doing or assume their kids are perfect little angels &quot;and would NEVER HAVE SEX&quot;. (rolls eyes)</p><p>For the campaign. know your audience.</p><p>You can do it. You seem pretty bright.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Let us know how you do.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Remember when &quot;Just say no&quot; was out and about?&nbsp;That was booring.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

[Knowledged_one]

<p>Use flow charts to document how you would judge success</p><p>Hire a CRO to start a trial run on people and advertise the plan as a way to help track healthy people (test group) as well as a group who already has the disease.&nbsp; Have them chart the health progress of both of the groups and report on how people progressed or regressed in that year period.</p><p>Also you need to come up with who your target audience is, judging from commercials it seems like the group they are targetting is the high school aged girls</p><p>Also see if there are any drugs available to treat this and what the benefits/problems are with the drugs and present that material in a way of how the drug can benefit people</p><p>And to start a paper i used to find an eye opening quote or statistic that will grab the attention of the person reading it, you dont want to lose them with technical jargon in the introduction</p>

They are meaningless as short papers. </p><p>If I were you I'd focus the plan on a media campaign that spread education about the disease. Since it's focused on the school population I'd suggest focusing on budget on paper and billboard media that can be posted in locations heavily frequented by students. </p><p>Also perhaps enforcing a mandatory one-time class each student must attend to learn more about the disease. </p>

He's definitely interested in the Texas vaccine case. Research the hell out of that and work it in.

With obesity rates rising the way the are, I dont think we'll have to worry about STD's for much longer.

<p>It's probably too late, but....</p><p>I'd start at the medical professional level, especially since you're working within a budget. Most of the at-risk women will be seeing gynecologists yearly I'm guessing? or if they won't, they'll see their GPs.&nbsp; Mandate that they talk to their patients about it and possibly recommend it given the circumstances of each patient. Give the doctors the leeway to decide since they have a better knowledge of the patient. And that will cost nothing. I would spend what limited budget you have printing up pamphlets that would be widely distributed to at-risk women at health centers laying out the facts. </p><p>As someone who was personally subjected to the pictures of deformed cervixes lets scare the shit out of people approach, it seemed to be counterproductive. </p>

If it's not too late, check Merks website.&nbsp; You might have some info there concerning research data for the vaccine.&nbsp; The CDC website might be helpful also.
