Researching health issues can be as basic as finding research papers on the Internet or as complex as delving into public policy and the philosophical positions of interest groups. Most important is the perspective or people who, for one reason or another, make a deep commitment and dedicate their time to a cause.
Picture This addresses key issues within the realm of specific health and social issues affecting various populations today, identified by experts, advocates, policy makers, and others working to improve public awareness about and reduce stigma through understanding these important issues.
This special issue of PROFILE highlights the entertainment professionals who have contributed to Picture This by coming to Washington, D.C., meeting with the leading experts in specific fields of health and social issues, and most importantly, giving their insight as to what opportunities and challenges they perceive present themselves when addressing issues with accuracy onscreen. |
