[Margo Harris]

Posted on another list, and I just wanted to share.  Apologize for
cross-postings.  Margo

The Division of Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Obesity at CDC is pleased
to announce the release of a new online training course titled: Social
Marketing for Nutrition and Physical Activity. We've designed this course to
be used by practitioners in the field. While it is specific to nutrition and
physical activity, it can be useful and adapted for those who work in other
topic areas.

Check out  <http://www.cdc.gov/dnpa/socialmarketing>
www.cdc.gov/dnpa/socialmarketing to access the course (free of charge!) and
many other social marketing resources.

Continuing education credits (CHES and CEU's) are available for those who
register, complete the course, and fill out an evaluation through the
CDC/ATSDR Training and Continuing Education Online system (
<http://www2a.cdc.gov/tceonline> http://www2a.cdc.gov/tceonline). 

More information about the course: 

*	Consistent with existing resources such as CDCynergy: Social
Marketing Edition
*	Builds upon many years of technical assistance to state and local
groups actually implementing social marketing programs in the field, and
thus is extremely practical and concrete
*	Includes a scenario where learners can follow a fictional program
planner, Rosa, as she struggles with common challenges; Learners have a
chance to provide advice to Rosa when she has trouble and receive feedback
on advice
*	Nutrition and physical activity examples throughout
*	Tips and ideas for those who have limited resources
*	Downloadable worksheets to use in your own planning process
*	Downloadable versions of each module for easy printing and reading
offline
