Advocacy
group seeks Edmonton non-smokers for media campaign focus group
EDMONTON — Action on Smoking and Health (ASH) is looking
for several Edmonton residents to participate in a focus group that
will assist with the development of a new media campaign promoting
smoke-free workplaces and public establishments.
“This focus group will help us to determine the best messages
and strategies for our media campaign,” said Les Hagen, ASH
executive director.
The health advocacy group is seeking between 10 and 12 employed
professionals with a post-secondary degree or diploma who are non-smokers
and whose health, or that of a family member’s, is affected
by second-hand tobacco smoke.
Selected participants will provide feedback on various messages
and advertisements that ASH might use in its upcoming Alberta media
campaign.
The discussion group is scheduled to take place on Sept. 7 from
7 pm. to 9 p.m., at an Edmonton location yet to be announced.
Those individuals selected for the focus group will each receive
a $50 honorarium.
