Assignment Directions:

For this assignment, you will create an engaging and informative 1-to-2-minute public service announcement (PSA) video or audio recording or a flyer. The goal is to educate the public about 3 of the most important actions individuals can take to prevent the transmission of sexually transmitted infections (STIs).

This PSA assignment allows you to synthesize research on STI prevention into a concise, educational public awareness campaign. An effective PSA compellingly conveys need-to-know information in a way that resonates with the intended audience.

2. Decide on the format for your PSA – will it be a video, flyer/poster, or audio recording? Keep your audience in mind.

3. Write a persuasive script or design the visual elements for your PSA content highlighting the 3 STI prevention actions you selected. Some examples could include:

· Using condoms/barriers correctly

· Getting tested regularly

· Having open conversations with partners

· Knowing your status

· Avoiding risky behaviors

4. Create your final digital PSA product, keeping it concise, educational, and focused on your 3 main prevention points. Be creative!

5. For video/audio PSAs: Record your final PSA and edit it as needed. Length should be 1 to 2 minutes.

6. For a flyer/poster: Design a clear, visually appealing layout with your prevention messaging.

7. Include a brief 1-paragraph explanation summarizing your creative approach and target audience.
