Using social marketing to address domestic violence.
Ragin, D.F., Madry, L. & Griffing, S.
(August, 2001).

This interactive workshop provides participants with an opportunity to learn about social marketing approaches to behavior change. Participants will work together to identify a target group that would benefit from a social marketing campaign (e.g., battered women or abusive men). Participants will then explore the potential barriers (both internal and external) to implementing this type of campaign and determine strategies for utilizing specific interventions to promote behavior change. Finally, participants will evaluate the likely efficacy of their proposed social marketing campaign by considering factors such as feasibility of implementation, the extent of community commitment required, and the potential benefits to the community and the greater society.
