Effective Implementation of a Public Health Campaign

Effective implementation of a public health campaign includes strategic marketing methods,
appropriate timing, and monitoring (Resnick & Siegel, 2013). Review your communication plan
and consider ways you plan to implement your campaign and how the timing is critical to its
success.
It is not uncommon to experience some barriers in the implementation of a public health
campaign. For example, funding sources might be delayed, stakeholders in communities may
decide to withdraw their participation, or technology may temporarily collapse. Consider possible
barriers or challenges you might face in the implementation of your public health campaign and
how you might address those barriers.

With these thoughts in mind:
Write 550 explanation of how you might implement your public health campaign. Then explain
two potential barriers which might impact the implementation process and one way you might
address one barrier. Be specific and use examples to illustrate your points.
