Organization and evaluation of health fairs.

In summary, the success of a health fair as a source of health education and promoter of healthful behaviors depends to a great extent upon the organizational expertise of the sponsor and cooperating forces. However, even more essential is the stimulation of health fair visitors' interest and participation, the provision of information and health status feedback and the reinforcement of positive health values. The health fair which best achieves these objectives will have a greater likelihood of also attaining its original preventive health goals and objectives. Although evaluation articles tend to stress the positive findings, this review does not imply that every health fair is a success or that every successful health fair is without criticism. Long waiting lines, unexpected equipment malfunctions, inadequate hours for visiting, understaffed activities, limited floor space and/or visual distractions and noise disturbances may still occur despite the most thorough organizational efforts. This review has attempted to synthesize from the existing sources on health fairs those essential organizational and evaluative factors necessary for a health fair to maximize its potential health education impact.

Burns and their psychological effects on children.

Thousands of children are burned each year, and hundreds die from their burns. The physical wounds of burns take less time to heal than psychological wounds caused by the burns. The child will need to make adjustments in self-concept and body image as well as social adjustments. Through support of school programs in safety education and education of the community, health educators and school nurses can help prevent the high incidence and seriousness of burns.
