Scenario A group of health care professionals are concerned about the lack of attendance at a Public Health Department health fair. The health fair provided health screenings and education on a variety of health conditions to a wide range of age-groups. The target community is small, semirural, and home to a large group of Hispanic and African Americans. In addition to the traditional health fair services, a variety of vaccinations were being distributed to those who met the existing criteria. While screenings generated a modest amount of interest, the educational programs and vaccination clinic were poorly attended. An additional health promotion event is scheduled in 4 weeks. The group is focused on revamping the delivery format to foster a greater impact on health promotion for this community.

Fewer than 50 community members attended with only five vaccinations being administered. Skin cancer and diabetes screenings were performed on 15 adults. While the group acknowledged that attendance was sparse, the minority population was only slightly underrepresented. Feedback surveys were available but only eight were returned. There seemed to be equal concern about the cost of some services and parking availability. One citizen wrote, “I think people would come if you gave away prizes” while another added, “I see my doctor for medical care.”
