Need for the Course

Franks,et al state that “Practitioners’ lack of sufficient training in more systematic approaches to priority setting and program selection serves to perpetuate a reactive style of public health practice.” Specific to social marketing they state “Its use as a tool in public health has been growing although many in the field have incomplete understanding of its techniques, its proper use, or its potential benefits.” Additionally, a survey of 40 health educators and registered dietitians working in the military found that only about one-third and formal academic education, one-third had professional experience in social marketing. They rated themselves at an expertise level of 2.8 on a scale of 5 with 5 being very good. A third had no training and others had had a class session or workshop on social marketing.
