There has been a recent multi-neighborhood foodborne outbreak involving E.coli (Escherichia coli) in Sentinel City®. Sixty elementary school age children were out sick this week. A number of adults and children from all four neighborhoods have presented at local clinics and the emergency room with reports of abdominal pain, sudden severe diarrhea, nausea, and fatigue. What form of formal mass communication should you use as the most effective for educating the public about the causes, symptoms, and prevention of E.coli in the city? Use government websites or scholarly literature to support your rationale for the mass communication method you select. In 150 words or less, develop a newspaper script, poster, or billboard appropriate for adults and teen. When preparing information to share with the community, consider demographics of each neighborhood and health literacy.
