'Healthy' Competition Aims To Educate Students About Dangerous MRSA Superbug

Spreading the word, not the germ, about the dangers of a potentially fatal superbug is the goal of Students Fight MRSA, a new educational campaign launched in the Philadelphia region through a joint partnership of Independence Blue Cross, The Health Care Improvement Foundation, and The Franklin Institute.

Students Fight MRSA is a grassroots effort to raise awareness about MRSA, or methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, among students in grades 3-12 through a creative web contest. MRSA has become a serious health issue for schools across the country, and outbreaks of the infection have resulted in widespread fear, school closures, student illness, and even death on rare occasion.

Students may submit entries beginning October 20 in two categories -- Audio/Visual and Graphic/Written -- through http://www.studentsfightmrsa.com. Criteria for choosing winners include educational value, creativity, work quality, and how interesting the material would be to diverse audiences. Through online voting, students will pick the winners from a group of finalists in each category. The contest ends January 31 and winners will be announced at an awards ceremony at The Franklin Institute.

"As a community leader committed to improving and promoting good health, we believe everyone -- from parents and grandparents, to teens and even young children -- needs to be educated about health risks, especially an infection like MRSA which can be easily prevented through some basic safety practices like hand washing," said Dr. Richard Snyder, senior vice president of Health Services for Independence Blue Cross. "The contest is based on a simple premise that the best way to reach the YouTube Generation is through messages created by students, for students."

To encourage students to participate, the sponsors are offering cash prizes totaling more than $8,000, and the opportunity for winning entries to be used in a broad MRSA awareness campaign with schools and other community organizations next year.

"The educational component of Students Fight MRSA shouldn't end when we announce the winners," said Kate Flynn, President of the Health Care Improvement Foundation, a non-profit health and safety organization. "That's why an important part of the campaign is to make some of the winning entries available to all schools and many community groups so that more people can learn the importance of infection prevention."
