Create a brochure

Activity Overview:

magine you have never heard of Public Health. You come from a region of the universe that has no equivalent terminology or service that mirrors the US Department of Public Health. Based on the course materials to date, create a brochure (up to 2 pages) that describes the mission, roles and responsibilities, and approaches and common terminology used in Public Health.

Focus your brochure on one of the following topics:

• Key affected populations
• Gender Inequality
• HIV Stigma and Discrimination
• Human Rights and HIV
• Homophobia, Transphobia, non-Binary Phobia

During week 9, you will be asked to convert this paper document into an audio or video public service announcement (PSA). As you create it, try to be as comprehensive as possible while not overwhelming your reader. The more complete this brochure is the easier it will be to convert it to a script for an audio PSA or, if you are up for a creative challenge, create a video PSA!!!

Guidelines:

Your brochure should exhibit careful thought, logical progression and demonstration of Public Health. It needs to be a product that anyone can pick up and after they have reviewed it are able to understand and articulate the basic premises of Public Health. You do not have to rely completely on words! Feel free to use images and other relevant information that you feel effectively convey your point. Be aware of content or images that might encourage stigma or discriminatory practices. Use correct spelling, punctuation, and grammar. Post to the Discussion board and provide comments on projects of at least two other classmates.

Effective communication is critical. The quality and quantity of the information you provide can either draw a person in or drive them away. Here are 7 things to consider when approaching writing:

1. Be concise - Only say what you need to say and no more.
2. Write clearly - Make sure what your write makes sense.
3. Be thorough- Be complete and provide your reader with the information they require.
4. Be accurate - No grammatical and/or factual errors.
5. Be coherent - Make sure there is a logical flow from point to point.
6. Be consistent - Spelling, punctuation, headings, bullet points, fonts.
7. Check your writing - Read it out loud to yourself!!
