AB On  the  first  day  of  public  health  clinical,  the  PHN  preceptor,  Gail,  has  three  nursing  students  pull  up  the  latest  report  on  sexually  transmitted  diseases  (STDs)  from  the  Centers  for  Disease  Control  (CDC,  2016).  The  facts  are  startling.  The  U.S.  now  has  the  highest  total  number  of  cases  of  chlamydia,  gonorrhea,  and  syphilis  in  its  history.  However,  in  recent  years,  more  than  half  of  state  and  local  STD  programs  have  had  budget  cuts.  “Since  our  STD  clinic  has  closed  due  to  funding  cuts,  I  really  need  your  help  in  creating  a  prevention  and  treatment  campaign.”Gail  is  clear  about  the  urgency.  “Chlamydia  is  the  most  commonly  reported  communicable  disease  in  our  region.  The  incidence  has  quadrupled  since  1996.  In  addition,  our  region  has  seen  a  recent  spike  in  babies  born  with  congenital  syphilis.”  She  explains  that  the  ideal  campaign  would  include  a  poster  for  people  waiting  in  the  public  health  clinic  and  some  sort  of  social  media  outreach  to  promote  awareness  of  STDs  and  sexual  health.The  three  students  assess  their  own  strengths.  Emily  gives  great  presentations  in  class,  Hannah  is  a  skilled  writer  of  academic  papers,  and  Darius  is  the  “techie”  of  their  group.  They  review  their  materials  for  population-based  health  nursing  competency  #7,  which  focuses  on  communication.  They  realize  that  clearly  defining  their  target  audiences  is  key,  including  learning  about  their  values,  needs,  and  health  literacy.  Unique  aspects  of  writing  and  creating  a  poster  and  pamphlet  need  to  be  considered.  Emily  wants  to  create  a  short  online  presentation  and  needs  to  explore  digital  tools  (such  as  PowerPoint,  VoiceThread,  YouTube,  podcasts,  and  Prezi).  Darius  quickly  finds  many  online  resources  but  needs  to  evaluate  them  carefully  for  accuracy,  functionality,  and  relevance  to  the  specific  audience.
