The @MHCC does a great job of identifying a population that is disproportionately affected by #depression in this campaign. By making this segmentation, they can better target and advertise toward this population. Great job! ๐ง #SocMarBU
The 2019 National College Health Assessment survey found that more than half of post-secondary students in Canada felt so depressed it was difficult to function. The time for the National Student Standard is now. https://t.co/zqJsydW89g #StudentSuccess
Happy late #OralHealthDay! @WHO does a good job in this campaign of providing the target audience with objective facts on oral health. However, there are no solutions accompanying these problems. How is your #dentalhealth? ๐ฆท๐ชฅ #SocMarBU

I love this campaign by @MHCC_. This campaign takes a creative approach to show the human truth that #mentalillness looks different for everyone. This is a great way to challenge current perspectives on the topic ๐ท #SocMarBU

Way to go @OttawaHealth demystifying #organic labels. In a time of widespread financial instability, this campaign does a great job highlighting that eating any vegetable is better than none at all. Way to go! ๐ฅ๐ฅฆ#SocMarBU
DYK? Both organic and conventionally grown produce are equally safe and nutritious. Eating enough fruits and vegetables is one of the most important factors for improving health.

@WHO is looking to tackle #obesity and its implications. While the campaign itself mentions interventions to reduce obesity, this post seems to focus only on the bad. Let's look toward healthy, body-positive interventions together! ๐ช๐ฅฌ #SocMarBU
Being overweight and/or living with #obesity can lead to a number of noncommunicable diseases, including:
๐จ type 2 #diabetes
๐จ cardiovascular diseases
๐จ cancers
๐จ hypertension
๐จ stroke
๐จ muscle & joint problems

@OttawaHealth has shared a great way to reduce a common barrier to #HeartHealthyEating behaviours! I too, find myself much more likely to eat veggies once they are easily accessible because of the lower effort cost. Try this out! ๐ฅฆ๐ฅฌ๐ฅ #SocMarBU
@AlgomaHealth and CAMH are working hard to reduce barriers to #smokingcessation. This campaign provides free nicotine patches, reducing the financial burden of this task. They also highlight the cost of freezing โ๏ธ outside to smoke. Great job! #SocMarBU ๐ฌ

What a great upstream approach by @WHO to reducing #transfat ๐ง consumption in whole countries. These incentives at a country-wide level will encourage policy, messaging, and group change to perpetuate this message and improve #health overall! #SocMarBU
Good public health news!
Today for the first time WHO awarded certificates to 5 countries validating the progress made in eliminating trans fats.
Denmark, Lithuania, Poland, Saudi Arabia and Thailand now have a best-practice #transfat elimination policy in effect, as well as monitoring and enforcement measures to make sure itโs followed.
Way to go!

Diseases such as #measles are very dangerous for children. This graphic does such a good job of showing how #vaccines protect us and how effective they can be. Are your shots up to date? ๐ #SocMarBU
#Measles vaccines are very effective - they prevent measles infection in almost all children who get vaccinated.
To protect your child, make sure their vaccines are up to date.

What a great video from @Gateshead_NHS to contextualize why cervical screens are important, not just how to get one. #Patientautonomy is a great way to allow patients to be a part of their health. Are you due for an appointment? #SocMarBU
