Part 1

Discussion 3: Interventions In Your Community

Intervention Analysis

Background

Focusing your intervention is key to success. This week you will find interventions and analyze them. This is a tricky job and much like advertising, you need to look for clues in the “advertisement” to see who the author is intending to reach.

This week, you will find and analyze a SIMPLE intervention to see how it is focused. This week it is a discussion!

Key Points:

*Interventions work on a group scale, interventions are not health one to one health care

*Public Health interventions are not free treatment, remember, public health is prevention!

*Interventions must be tailored to your target group identified in your research of for distribution and determinants.

*A good question is “Does my intervention find my at risk group where they live, work and play?”

*Some campaigns are not really PH, especially on social media and the web, are not really campaigns. They are educational or opinion posts functioning as advertisement for services. This is not to say the message is good or bad, but we do want to know how to differentiate between the two!

Readings

No readings this week! But you do have a “field trip”!

Assignment Steps

1. In your community find a SHORT intervention that addresses any public health problem.
2. Options are: posters, billboards, commercials, or a flyer. You can use a social media campaign if it is NOT advertising. I Keep it SIMPLE. See my examples below. DO NOT submit an entire website or a huge program or medical care. If you find something NOT from the internet, you get +5 bonus points! My example below would NOT get extra credit as it is from social media.
3. Provide a short 1-2 sentence summary of the campaign and where you found it.
4. Tell me who you think the intervention is designed for (demographics). Include age, race, gender and socioeconomics. Analyze the campaign NOT the problem.
5. Tell me why you think it is focused to that group. Do not analyze the problem. Analyze the intervention.
6. Reply. You need TWO this week.
   1. Find a campaign that you like. Comment on it and why.
   2. Find a peer that posted a campaign focused on the same or similar topic. Compare and contrast it to your campaign choice OR
   3. Then we will be each other’s detectives. Find a campaign that really is an advertisement, not a true PH a campaign
   4. For the second reply: Vote for the post “spoke to you” and why. Tell them if you think the campaign is an effective one or not.

Example

I found this campaign on Instagram after a student used it in an assignment. It is about depression.

age: this campaign talks about household chores, so I think it is focused on someone over 25 and less than 50 since that is the age to have a busy household.

race/ethnicity: This is just print so I don’t see any racial or ethnic focus.

gender: I think this is focused more to women since it talks about household chores and self-care as these are more often terms and things women would be oriented to. Some men may identify with this (or should!), but I think more women do.

SES: I think this is for middle class and higher focused. People of lower SES don’t often practice “self care” or have the money to do so. There is also some advanced vocabulary that someone of lower education would not know or identify with such as “exhaustion, justify and worthiness”. These terms and “masking” or “self-isolating” are also terms that someone who either reads therapy books or attends therapy would know, another clue to higher SES and access to money and healthcare.

Example Reply 1:Hey Catherine. I like your post and it is well written. I did some research though and I think this is just someone’s personal instagram account, not Public Health. I looked up the “Igototherapy” account and it says:

I Go to Therapy
lets talk about mental health & therapy
mental health support & education for your journey
not a therapist
resources & find a therapist

I wonder if they get money for referrals? The posts are really good though so that’s nice!

Example Reply 2: Hi Catherine. I vote for your post. I think this post speaks to my demographic of women who are old enough to manage a household (they mention all those chores!) since I am at the stage in life where I am juggling a lot of the things they are talking about! I also feel like women especially are supposed to smile and act nice like they say so that makes me think it is focused to women.
