Promoting Behavioral Health Through Campus-Based Public Service Announcements (PSAs) What is a Public Service Announcement (PSA)?
PSAs are short print (script), audio and video messages that are designed to inform the public about a specific issue or cause. PSAs provide viewers, listeners or readers with valuable information that could positively affect their lives.
Newspaper (print PSAs) Radio (audio PSAs) Television (video PSAs) And answer the questions who, what, where, when and why using the strongest arguments, the most appealing characters and the right tone and information to persuade the audience to pay attention to the message and act on it.
Step one What is your message? Can it be told in 30 seconds or less? Step two Who is your target audience? Step three Identify your resources. What is your budget? Step four Determine your medium (print, audio, video). Step five Determine the interest level
Have clear goals and objectives The language should be simple and concise, so make sure your message is clear. You only got a few seconds to reach your audience. Make every word count. Do not overload viewers or listeners with too many different messages List all the possible messages you d like to get bring to the public s attention and then decide on the most vital one Brainstorm look at other PSAs for ideas May sure that your facts are accurate The content of your script should have the right words or phrases that will captivate your audience. PSAs usually contain a call to action. Consider including the number to counseling center hotline or where students can go to get help.
Research has shown that public service announcements can be successful in influencing a positive behavioral change. Ingredients of an effective PSA are: Execution PSAs should be simple, well-produced or designed, informative, interesting and entertaining. Repetition PSAs are generally part of a comprehensive campaign that delivers the message using a variety of different medium. Targeting The message should address an important issue among the target audience in a way that resonates with those individuals and builds trust. Call to Action PSAs should include a response mechanism such as a toll-free number, a website to visit or a brochure to request.
Radio Consider your on-campus radio station or local community stations Radio stations accept print PSAs (called scripts) that are read by the announcer Scripted radio PSAs should be typed in all capitals, using long em-dashes ( ) instead of commas, and ellipses ( ) instead of periods. Use conversational language Television Consider your on-campus TV station or local public stations Consider working with the drama and communication clubs or departments Consider developing a storyboard for your script before you begin shooting Print Consider your campus newspaper or local newspaper Consider the graphic design and layout
PSA should be part of a larger behavioral health awareness campaign What future goals do have for the campaign To provide the literature or audio/visual behavioral health education that aids in the reduction of stigma To create a bill board To develop a website or facebook page To create informational packets for educators
