PH 215 Chapter Notes - Chapter 2: Structural Inequality, Health Equity, Strategy Guide
Document Summary
Winter 2003-2004: washington state, a cow tests positive for mad cow disease (bse). It is an incurable, fatal, degenerative brain disease that can spread to humans who eat infected meat. But by the time the health secretary announced that the cow had the disease, its meat had already been sent out to eight states for sale. The usda refused to publicly identify the stores and restaurants where the meat had been sent. Tony believed that the usda had a duty to notify the public of these locations so they could discard any remaining meat. He defied the gag clause and called the san francisco. The success of any advocacy campaign depends on the following elements being spelled out in the plan: A clearly defined problem using a public health framework. A clearly defined solution and interim goals toward achieving that solution. An assessment of resources available to accomplish the goals.
