Class Project

So for class we all have a group project and personally I think the group and the organization I got assigned to is the best!!! We are working with Student Health Services to design a health communication campain for the Family PACT program. Family PACT is a statewide program that provides family planning services to anyone who is capapable of having a baby or creating a a baby (so that means guys ARE eligible). There are income guidelines and you are can't have other insurance that covers family planning (unless you want to keep it confidential and then you are still eligible). It is an amazing program that is totally under-utilized at SDSU. We met with Student Health Services last week and they told us that they fully plan on using whatever we create. It is so exciting to be doing something hands on and that will acutally be used. We are currently doing the formative research to collect info about who we are targeting and the best way to reach them. Stay tuned for more updates throughout the semester on how the project is going!
