Program Plan

Type of Service Modality: Prevention

Target Population: The nature of the campaign recommended in this proposal — a highly visible, city-wide, multi-media Advertising and Community Events campaign for the Latino community — calls for a concerted approach to reach our target population, S.F.

Objectives: Because of our broad, multi-media approach, activities will be simultaneous and overlapping with respect to accomplishing our objectives. In order to avoid the repetition of stating activities many times over, we have written our Program Plan in a non-segmented and sequential presentation form.
