Public Q&A: How do you know when you are heading in the right – or wrong – direction?

Public Q&A: Is there data to help a public health campaign reach 12-17 year-olds?

August 8, 2013 By Susannah Fox Leave a Comment

Here’s a data request I can’t fulfill, so I’m sharing it in the hopes that our community may provide some help: We are going to do a general market campaign targeting at-risk youth and youth who have already experimented but don’t consider themselves [tobacco] users or smokers.  We are also doing campaigns targeting multicultural youth, […]
