The Princeton Regional Health Commission and Department will help publicize your efforts and provide sites where possible. I think that it is time we in Public Health use the television media "Prime Time" spots in our educational efforts. This type of effort may be costly initially,. but it would be cost effective when one calculates the number of people who wili be impacted. Please forward a copy of your application methods and objectives so that I may be able to offer specific suggestions. Also, if you have not already done so, I suggest that you contact the New Jersey Health Officers Association for a letter of support. Thank you. Yours truly, Stephen J.
