Just Say No: Dr Richard I. Evans Efforts to Influence Juvenile Behaviour through US Public Health Programming

Author(s): Vinson, Emily

Abstract

Television as a means of distributing public health information and influencing health behaviours was recognized even in the earliest days of broadcasting, a natural extension of health messaging on radio and film. This paper examines the place health-focused programming held in the United States’ educational television landscape and the role of Dr Richard I. Evans, social-psychology researcher, who sought to use television to influence the behaviours of youths engaging in “risky” activities.
