Description
An account of the resource
<p><em><strong>"We all have an obligation as citizens of this earth to leave the world a healthier, cleaner, and better place for our children and future generations."</strong></em></p>
<p>-Blythe Danner, American Actress<br /> <br />Public health focuses on protecting and improving the human condition, and prolonging life. It necessitates public investment in education, promotion of healthy lifestyles, and research for disease and injury prevention, among others. Public health agencies at both state and local levels are central to effective public health and health care systems. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), such systems involve “all public, private, and voluntary entities that contribute to the delivery of essential public health services within a jurisdiction.”</p>
<p>Elected officials and law enforcement officers play an important role in the development and regulation of public health and healthcare policy. A number of public health professionals, strive every day delivering services to protect the health of our families and communities, whether working in hospitals, nursing homes, emergency management services, schools or mental health facilities. Volunteers from charitable and philanthropic organizations also contribute a lot to ensure that public health and health care goals are met in places where resource constraints might present impediments. CDC also places emphasis on the important role of youth development organizations, recreation and arts-related organizations in supporting public health.</p>
<p>CDC has formulated a set of 10 essential public health and health care services that provide the framework for determining how well a jurisdiction is doing at assessing the performance of its system. Broadly these fit under policy development, assurance, and assessment. They include monitoring the public’s health status, investigating and diagnosing health problems, public awareness, enforcing laws and regulations that support public health and health care efforts, assuring a competent workforce, and continuous research and innovation to keep abreast of health problems.</p>
In the additional resources section to the right is a collection of related public service narratives <em>"Ask me why I care,"</em>under <em>"Tell your story." </em>They were curated by the University of Nebraska at Omaha College of Public Affairs and Community Service in a Public Service Stories Project. Project Co-Directors are Dr. Mary Hamilton and Ms. Rita Paskowitz. The collection includes videos and <a href="http://www.unomaha.edu/college-of-public-affairs-and-community-service/community-engagement/pss-health-human-services.php"><strong>Suggested Assignments for Students</strong></a>.

Description
An account of the resource
This poster, released by the Social Hygiene Division (Army Educational Commission) was designed to spread awareness about venereal disease. This particular poster promotes the message of the social hygienist; these reformers viewed sexual indiscretion and habits such as masturbation as "enslaving habits," associating them with a loss of freedom. During the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, venereal disease was regarded as the product of rapid city growth, increases in immigration, and changes within the American family. Physicians began to realize that breaking the silence over this issue would play a significant role in its eradication. During World War I, posters were used to open a dialogue and encourage action. Films, pamphlets, and lectures were also used, but posters such as these proved particularly effective. Not only were they less expensive, but their eye catching graphics could communicate the message more quickly and appeal to a broad range of people. The messages on these posters emphasized the link between patriotism and health. Frightening symbols, together with depictions of "loose women" were intended to inspire changes in behavior. There were two types of reformers: those who focused on "social hygiene" (who condemned such sexual behavior and focused instead on education) and more progressive types who instead promoted prophylactic measures.
