The PA Coalition for Oral Health and the Pennsylvania Department of Health Oral Health Program are working together on a multimedia communications campaign for 11–17-year-olds on reducing sugar-sweetened and acidic beverage consumption in certain PA counties.
The project is multifaceted, consisting of a social media campaign, as well as print materials to be displayed in-office/in the waiting room, and an interactive demonstration. They are looking for clinics in Allegheny, Berks, Centre, Clarion, Crawford, Jefferson, Lancaster, or Lehigh counties that would be able to display the print materials and conduct the interactive demonstration at one community event this spring. If spacing is an issue, the sugar-sweetened beverage materials and acid materials can be displayed separately.
The PA Coalition for Oral Health are asking that materials be displayed from March 3, 2025- May 30, 2025, and that during at least one community event during that time, you complete the acid interactive demonstration. All materials will be mailed to you free of charge and are yours to keep at the end of the campaign. The materials that would be displayed in your office/waiting room are:
- One 40×29 tri-fold display board on sugar-sweetened beverages
- One 8.5×11 poster (with built-in easel) on acidity in drinks
- A stack of rack-card sized flyers on acidity in drinks
- A stack of 8.5×11 flyers: Tips for Healthy Sips
- A stack of 8.5×11 flyers: What Should Kids Drink
- A stack of 8.5×11 flyers: A Student Guide to Sugary Drinks
