What is one method HOSA uses to raise awareness of health issues?

HOSA raises awareness of health issues primarily through campaigns and health fair activities. This method allows HOSA to engage directly with the community and provide valuable information on various health topics. Campaigns are designed to educate the public on pressing health concerns, promote healthy behaviors, and inform individuals about available resources. Health fairs often include interactive booths, screenings, and hands-on demonstrations, which make learning about health issues more accessible and engaging for attendees.

While surveys and research studies can provide valuable data regarding health concerns, they do not directly raise awareness as effectively as the hands-on approach of campaigns and health fairs. Public speaking contests are primarily focused on developing members' skills rather than raising awareness, and social media engagement, though important for outreach, usually complements the larger organizational efforts like campaigns rather than standing alone as a primary method.
