Lead Poisoning PSA by Jahad Marable

Our PSA about lead poisoning starts with a picture of the city skyline and background music to show how serious the issue is. It talks about how lead poisoning can be prevented and shares stories of affected families and communities. I picked this subject because I know it’s really important in Philadelphia. After learning a bit about lead poisoning, I got even more curious to learn more about it.

The PSA effectively raises awareness about lead poisoning by using calls to action, human stories, and facts. Adding expert opinions and testimonials makes the message more credible and emotional. However, including more images would help draw in viewers and highlight key points. To enhance the impact of the call to action, specific steps to combat lead poisoning should be outlined beyond just getting tested and treated. When I think about my own experience, I remember when they found lead in the paint of my old middle school building during an inspection. Because of that, they had to close the school temporarily while they fixed the problem.
