Identify
and target at-risk women within the
Chambersburg area community for a free
heart screening.
A
community outreach program was developed
to provide vital heart health screenings
to at-risk and hard-to-reach populations.
Advertising vehicles including radio,
billboard, posters and post cards were
created using a strong emotional appeal in
English and Spanish languages. Street
level marketing tactics, using churches,
community leaders and local businesses
were also employed to organize high
response rates and increase trust from
ethnic populations. "Non-conventional
communications tools can be very effective
in educating hard-to-reach audiences and,
in this case, it may make a life or death
difference for many families," Victoria
Radabaugh said.
