Question

Think about a popular Health Promotion Campaign in your country (or elsewhere) (e.g. Smoking cessation, drinking and driving, wearing seat-belts). Using the 5 functions of the RE-AIM evaluation model describe the campaign and try to come to a conclusion on its value and impact. This is more of a thinking exercise, so don’t worry about number of people reached, or cost aspects- merely consider the potential for impact across the 5 functions based on your own knowledge of the campaign or that which can be easily found on a website or such.
