You will be targeting two populations, the general public and health care workers. Choose one respiratory disease and create two (2) public service announcements addressing it.
Be creative in your presentation. Include the name of the disease (layman's term and official), precautions, where the organism is found, how to protect oneself from exposure, what to do if exposed, and treatment options.
Consider how you will disseminate your information. Is it going to be via a TV or radio spot? Will it be on the hospital TV channel? An e-mail blast? In-service? Poster in the bathroom?

You may include appropriate graphics. Provide the URL for any website you use for sources for your announcement.
