Let’s Get Ethical: Public Health & Pop Culture

Public health messages have always been integrated into American pop culture. From blues songs about meningitis and food poisoning, to public service announcements featuring your favorite Saturday morning cartoon characters, using popular figures has long been a strategy in promoting public health campaigns on everything from tuberculosis to HIV. It also works the other way, when iconic PSAs become an integral part of our culture — like everyone’s favorite ’80s commercial comparing your brain on drugs to fried eggs. Any questions?
