Dissemination and the spread of new scientific knowledge is critical to raising awareness of issues, reducing stigma of mental health issues, and increasing public understanding of novel scientific discoveries. Public service announcements are an excellent way to disseminate new information and can be short videos/infographics/flyers/posters etc. For your final PSA project, you will choose a topic that we have covered in our course or readings. You must expand upon what we’ve learned in class by reading at least 2 primary source research article on the topic and incorporating this additional information. Be as creative as you want! The goal of the project is to creatively synthesize the information, apply what you’ve learned, communicate it effectively, and share your knowledge with the public. Feel free to create a poster, infographic, flyer, stop/go or animation video, youtube show, podcast, etc. Options are limitless in your mode of knowledge expression. Your target audience is the general public! Importantly, follow the rubric (provided on canvas) to make sure you include all the required topic information in your PSA and write-up.
