    Public Testimony to U.S. Department of Health and Human Services October 22, 2009, Kansas City, KS Public Meeting Online Submission, Mary Gregerson, PhD Why has the United States lagged behind developing countries in accessing creative media technology outlets to disseminate public health information and facilitate behavioral change into social mores? For instance, in Uganda the AFFORD Health Marketing Initiative in April 2007 launched an entertaining and educative television, radio, and community-based game show called “The Good Life Gameshow” also has a telephone hotline, print materials, and neighborhood Good Life Teams complemented this game show. The Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health/Center for Communication Programs led this 2005-2010 initiative funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development. In another African example, between 2002 and 2004 47% of Ethopian men and 42% Ethiopian women tuned into a 257 episode radio serial drama Yeken Kignit (“Looking over One’s Daily Life”). This social content drama used the theory and evidence based eight step Sabido methodology for behavior change via mass media communication to target reproductive health and women’s status, including family planning, marital communication, and HIV/AIDS (Barker & Sabido, 2005). Independent research documented a dramatic increase in AIDS testing for listeners (4 times for men and 3 times for women) compared to non-listeners and a significant reduction in prejudice toward those with HIV/AIDS. The Sabido method (named after Televisa [Mexican television] vice president for research Miguel Sabido of Mexico) applies behavioral change theory through creative mass media outlets and has scientific proof of effective positive behavior change in the more than 200 health intervention programs in more than 50 countries in Latin America, Africa, and Asia (Singhal et al., 2004).

Ethics of Mental Healthcare 334 Foreword April 29, 2017 The primary responsibility of the Health Care Ethics Committee (HCEC) of the National Bioethics Committee (NBC) Pakistan, is to develop and utilize strategies to enhance bioethics capacity in Pakistan. To accomplish this, HCEC organizes and runs bioethics workshops for professionals involved in biomedical research and healthcare delivery systemsand members of Regional and Provincial Bioethics Committees. Recognizing that HCEC should also assist in ways to introduce bioethics to undergraduate medical and dental students and little progress has been made in this equally important area, led to the development of this document. In its first Code of Ethics for healthcare professionals, formulated in 2002, the Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC) stated that medical and dental colleges, College of Physicians and Surgeons, and universities running postgraduate medical courses “are advised to incorporate medical ethics in their curriculum.” In reality, currently only a handful of medical and dental colleges include any bioethics education as part of their curriculum for students.
