Obesity In Adults
Task 1: Social Media Campaign
Introduction:

Part of cultural competency is advocating for sensitive patient populations with regard to health issues or needed improvements in the community. A big part of advocacy is uncovering effective stories discovered in your community assessment. Equally important is understanding how to broadcast your discoveries to the larger community. In our society today, social media is a powerful leveraging tool to get a story out, build support, and demonstrate advocacy.

Field Project Activities List

The purpose of this field experience is to expose you to the practice of nursing where care interventions are focused on a population as patient. This is different from past courses
where you may have worked with a single or limited number of patients. However, it is
similar to previous clinical experiences in that you don’t truly understand and appreciate
what the nurse does until you are acting as a nurse. In this field experience, we want you
to associate with community health professionals in order to learn care from their perspective. For example, you can learn some things from observing a health fair, but can
gain a deeper understanding of a community health professional’s role in designing
community interventions by interviewing and working with the organizers.

1. A community needs to reduce or better yet eliminate access to cigarettes for
youth. Here you would explore what the laws are about selling to minors, where cigarettes are sold, how youth are obtaining cigarettes (adults buy them? They
use fake ID? They obtain them through the black market?, etc.). Do stores sell
“loosies” meaning one cigarette at a time rather than by the pack? This also
contributes to youth smoking. Talk with police about enforcement of current laws. What is being done to raise the price of a pack of cigarettes through
additional taxes on cigarettes to make buying a pack very expensive and so act
as a deterrent to smoking? In New York City, a pack of cigarettes is $12. What is
being done to enforce the requirement to provide ID when purchasing cigarettes?
2. A community needs to reduce or eliminate the ability to smoke in public spaces
such as restaurants, bars, stores, other employers, public buildings, etc. to
further deter people from smoking and make it very difficult to smoke. This would include investigating what is being done in the county to reduce or
eliminate smoking in public places outdoors as well as indoors. What are the
regulations, what is pending to make the regulations stricter or more
encompassing and what is being done to enforce the regulations? What sort of
public acceptance is there of these efforts? Are parents allowing children to smoke at home? Are employers allowing youth to smoke at their jobs? What are
the schools doing?
3. A community needs to change attitudes and norms to reflect a determination not to be accepting of youth smoking and to actively work against it.
