The University of Alaska Fairbanks Interior-Aleutians Campus is offering a series of five ready-to-air public service announcements focusing on diabetes prevention and care for youths.

Juniors and seniors in the Trailmarkers Upward Bound programs at Lathrop High School and Effie Kokrine Charter School created the PSAs. The students met on the UAF campus for four intensive days of study drawn from the nationally recognized curriculum, “Diabetes Education in Tribal Schools.” The students contributed to a list, “110 Tips to Fight Diabetes” and wrote scripts for radio PSAs. Jerry Evans of KUAC worked with the students to coach them and record and produce the PSAs.
Radio stations can download the PSAs by visiting //news.uaf.edu/?p=3853.

ADDITIONAL CONTACTS: Sarah McConnell at 907-474-6080 or ssmcconnell@alaska.edu.
