'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."
