Pandemic Flu Project
The Pandemic Flu Project was a state-wide health education campaign in which culturally tailored, linguistically appropriate materials in Spanish on Pandemic Flu were distributed to health agencies, healthcare providers, and other Hispanic-serving organizations. Pandemic flu health materials included posters and handouts, an educational video, a Public Service Announcement in Spanish, and informational articles published in local Spanish-language newspapers.
Direct outreach to the local Hispanic population included the publication and distribution of the special edition of the Su Salud newsletter, which targets the Hispanic community. The Su Salud newsletter was distributed by local community outreach workers and networkers in local Hispanic businesses, churches, and schools. The statewide network of Outreach Workers who contributed to the development of the educational materials also conducted one-on-one and group education sessions focusing on pandemic flu.
