Borzekowski Office: SPH 1234B Email: [email protected] Office Hours: by appointment, however my door is usually open and I have candy and fruit for the taking! THIS SYLLABUS IS NOT CONCRETE. THE SCOPE AND SPECIFICS OF THE COURSE WILL BE DETERMINED BY THE INPUT AND PROGRESSION OF THE PARTICIPANTS. PLEASE BE AWARE OF ANNOUNCED CHANGES. Course Description: Using a global perspective, this course teaches students to be critical consumers of current and historical health communication interventions.

Course Learning Outcomes: Upon completing this course, the student will be able to: 1. Recognize and CRITIQUE (through writing exercises) mass media events (historical and current), communicated through different media. 2. Distinguish underlying purposes of media initiatives. 3. Identify the influence of media events on different audiences. Anticipate how political, economic, and cultural aspects affect this influence. Consider the ethics of health communication. 4. Describe behaviors that one can affect through communication initiatives, based on communication and behavioral theory. 5. Apply skills and strategies to DEVELOP AND CONDUCT an actual communication campaign/initiative that targets a specific audience. 6. Systematically EVALUATE one’s communication campaign/initiative.
