Who has participated in the CCP Module?
The first basic test run of the module was used at the University of Pittsburgh with a class of 80-some graduate students. The test run was an experiment to see if, by comparing before and after comics, whether a change in a student’s knowledge of a topic could be determined. The results were positive: it was possible to tell that knowledge had been gained. The intended audience for the CCP Module are elementary (3-6) and secondary (7 – 12) school students. The CCP Module was used with 200 students from Northview Elementary as part of National Public Health Week 2008. It was done in conjunction with the University of Pittsburgh, Association of Schools of Public Health, and the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh. The theme for NPHW ’08 was climate change, so students created comics about that and several other topics, such as exercise and recycling. The module was used a third time for Healthy Holidays, a public health promotional event done in collaboration with the University of Pittsbur
