MollyMany behaviors behind this problem are propogated by these misconceptions and/or unawareness about the safety of prescription drugs….requires dissemination of accurate, un-biased, and research based information to our communities
Mollywhat are we going to do about it…introduce partnership
MollyState goal: widely disseminates accurate, high quality, non-biased information in a community specific approach through expertise and connections of extension educators.
Molly: grant supportLiz: One educator from each EERA was chosen to become involved in this project. I was in a state-wide FCS meeting and heard about this project. I was very interested and e-mailed my EERA leader and volunteered for the project. Each Educator involved was compensated for their time with $2700.00 release time.
Molly: created a CD containing educational resources to distribute today, will walk through resources you have availableLiz: The one day training included a powerpoint presentation, a family feud type game and brainstorming sessions. As a group of educators, we discussed audiences and places to start presenting these programs. Looked at many youtube and other visual aids to compliment/enhance the materials.
Molly: resources created through the partnership between OSU and Cardinal Health can be customized or branded with your logo, Liz will give examples of how she did this as we introduce the resources
Molly:Insert website for state-specific data in outlineLiz: how did you use the background information?
Molly:Activities and Reproducibles available. Separate outline for reproducibles, including source and how to use.Liz:(if appropriate), how did you use resources for the general public?
Molly: Activities,Reproducibles, and Videos available. Separate outline for reproducibles, including source and how to use.Liz:(if appropriate), how did you use resources for the parents?
Molly: Activities include presentations, classroom activities, games, skits, videos (theatrical performances…update link to our website for InterACT). Separate outline for reproducibles, such as bulletin board panels, including source and how to use.Liz:(if appropriate), how did you use resources for students?
Molly: Activities include presentations, classroom activities, games, skits, videos (theatrical performances…update link to our website for InterACT). Separate outline for reproducibles, such as bulletin board panels, including source and how to use.Liz:(if appropriate), how did you use resources for students?
Molly: introduce materialsLiz:(if appropriate), how did you use resources for partners?
Liz: The materials were ready to go. Handouts for different audiences just needed copied. We branded powerpoints and shared those and other resources on a basecamp. As resources or ideas of places to present and materials to add or use were developed or located we shared them on a basecamp site for anyone to use. We shared these materials with the entire EERA and gave them CDs of the materials, after they were trained, by those of us involved with the project– expanding the outreach effort. Once a program was presented the evaluations were collected and mailed or delivered to the College of Pharmacy. Turnaround time on the evaluations was rapid thus allowing modification in program presentation if needed to improve impact of topics not fully understood or emphasized enough.
Liz: Due to the collaborate work with partner agencies in our communities finding places to deliver the program was very easy. I had relationships with the Health Department, Home Health, hospitals, schools, churches, homemaker groups, other county extension educators etc... By calling and explaining the Pharmacy connection and the program-- once one program was delivered-- word of mouth and suggestions for other agencies who needed to hear the message were generated and word spread. I no longer needed to call agencies– they were requesting the program. Surveys were included in all programs presented and mailed or delivered to the College of Pharmacy. The results were analyzed and rapidly returned to the Educators who presented the programs.Molly: how we supported educators
MollyOthers include family members, teenagers, and community members
MollyResources provide accurate, un-biased, and research-based information about a serious and growing public health problem
