“The National Youth Anti-Drug Media Campaign”
Lawrence M. Scheier, MA, PhD.RPSM 3rd Floor Conference Conference Room 4:30-6PM
The National Youth Anti-Drug Media Campaign was instituted in 1999 as a proactive means of stemming the tides of youth drug use. Backed by the legacy of social marketing and health persuasion campaigns, the logic undergirding the campaign suggested parents could be persuaded to monitor their children, invoke more communication, and excercise greater social control to effectively dissuade youth from drug initiation. Youth were provided a barrage of messages forecasting negative outcomes from drug use and also teaching them social skills and ways to offset negative peer influences. Evaluations of the campaign have produced a bevy of “iatrogenic” or boomerang effects with exposure to PSAs and radio spots leading to increased drug use by youth. This seminar provides an added layer of insight using secondary data analysis and person-centered approaches to yield interesting positive campaign effects, particularly supporting intergenerational transmission of positive family values and monitoring activities that protect youth. Findings are discussed in terms of the broad appeal of marketing using television and radio, print media and movie trailers to effectively change health behaviors.

Visit to the Chieu Kien Buddhist Temple
Last Sunday Social Medicine Rounds took place at the Chieu Kien Buddhist Temple located at 2011 Clinton Avenue, a few blocks southwest of the Bronx Zoo. For those who do not know the neighborhood, the Temple was easy to miss, particularly given the fierce rainstorm outside. It occupies a nondescript building across from a big apartment complex. The front door is almost completely obscured by an iron gate. Indeed the only visible sign that this a temple is a yellow circle above the door with a pink lotus flower in the center.
