Diabetes prevention PSAs available for use
August 25, 2011
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.
