  • Insiders for a Day, Roundtable Dinner Mona Saraiya
    Insiders for a Day, Roundtable Dinner Mona Saraiya: Good evening, everybody. Hi. As part of the Public Health Workshop -- my name is Mona Saraiya, I'm from the Centers for Disease Control. And I'm very excited to change it up a little bit for the International Papillomavirus Meeting. We are very privileged to have Sandra de Castro Buffington and her team, who she will introduce, to discuss stories that change lives -- connecting scriptwriters with health experts for compelling storylines. And I think we all know that at the International Papillomavirus Public Health Workgroup, we're pretty much a very geeky group. Would you agree to that? (Laughter) And so it's really nice to see and inform Hollywood Health and Society and the scriptwriters the passion that we have about HPV and cervical cancer. And without further ado, I wanted to introduce Sandra. Sandra is Sandra de Castro Buffington, a Brazilian -- so wonderful for the International Papillomavirus in Puerto Rico -- is director of Hollywood Health and Society, a program of the University of Southern California's Annenberg Norman Lear Center. And actually, Hollywood Health and Society was actually founded by the Centers for Disease Control 11 years ago. We've been working, the CDC, with Hollywood Health and Society on various scripts -- 50 Hollywood scripts. She's known for her award-winning work in entertainment, health and social change in the US and internationally. Sandra provides resources to leading scriptwriters and producers with the goal of improving the accuracy of health and climate change-related storylines on top television programs and films, resulting in more than 565 aired storylines over the span of three years.

  • For Immediate Relesase February 5, 2009
    For Immediate Relesase February 5, 2009 SAVING LIVES: Why the Media’s Portrayal of Nurses Puts Us All at Risk (Kaplan Publishing, On sale: Feb. 3, 2009; Hardcover; $24.95) shows how the media perpetuates nursing stereotypes (the handmaiden, the naughty nurse, the angel and the battle-axe), presenting negative images that affect real nurses and their patients. These powerful images fuel the global nursing shortage—one of the world's most pressing public health crises—by weakening nurses’ claims to adequate resources for clinical practice, education and research. Although Showtime reportedly plans to introduce Nurse Jackie this summer, today, 41 out of 45 major characters on the top five U.S. health-related prime-time television shows are physicians (see attached list). The shows present physicians as the sole masters of health knowledge and the only important staff in hospitals. In fact, Hollywood physician characters often do exciting procedures that nurses would actually perform. Physician characters like House often disrespect nurses with no real contradiction. That fosters more social contempt and makes it seem like no person of substance or intellect would even think of becoming a nurse. SAVING LIVES presents irreverent analysis of everything from how health care news is reported, to Grey’s Anatomy’s handling of nurse characters, to how major advertising campaigns exploit nursing stereotypes. SAVING LIVES explains why these media depictions matter, and offers many practical ideas to help improve nursing’s media image and the profession of nursing generally. Sandy Summers, RN, MSN, MPH, is founder and Executive Director of The Truth About Nursing (www.truthaboutnursing.org).
