Test 2 Psa 3

This is a diabetes PSA that is targeted at parents. It stresses that it is a family effort. It suggests a few guidelines a to help prevent children from getting Type 2 diabetes. It stresses that it is a family effort to keep your diet under control and the importance of exercise in preventing diabetes.. I don't think children will necessarily watch this PSA but I am sure Moms and some Dads would be influenced by it.

Test 2 PSA 2

 This Psa is also for Diabetes. I believe its target audience is 30 year olds and up. It is aimed at Type 2 diabetes. They have used a well known song and familiar characters to get peoples attention. They gave facts and resources for their information. I am not sure if it will change people's behavior but it will certainly make them think about what they are eating. I do think it will reach it's target simply because it has an attention grabbing song.

Test 2 PSA 1

 



This video is intended to raise awareness about diabetes. I believe it will raise awareness. It's target audience is the young preteen to twenty somethings  .By using Nick Jonas they are reaching their target audience. This particular PSA mentions Type 1 Diabetes. I don't think this Psa would change health behavior.I do think it would get many people to sign up to pledge to stop diabetes. By doing this they are getting information out to their target audience.
