Climate and Health - U.S. Virgin Islands Media Campaign: DENGUE

The Climate & Health U.S. Virgin Islands Media Campaign includes three television PSAs: 60-Second "Overview", 30-Second "Ciguatera", and 30-Second "Dengue". This public service advertisement campaign was created to educate U.S. Virgin Islands residents about the linkages between climate change and health. It alerts the population of the possibilities of increased outbreaks of ciguatera (fish poisoning) and dengue fever which may occur as a result of the climate changes.

The Climate and Health media campaign was presented by the University of the Virgin Islands Caribbean Exploratory Research Center, funded by a grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities in collaboration with the University of the Virgin Islands, and was produced by Digital Media Solutions in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Additional footage provided by PAHO Archives (Pan American Health Organization) and the Virgin Islands Public Television System WTJX Channel 12.
