The purpose of this grant is to develop an effective educational outreach program focused on the prevention and mitigation of health problems associated with Dengue Fever and ciguatera. The one- hour, live television program broadcast on March 6th addressing climate change and public health issues in the Virgin Islands and the Caribbean was used as the basis for the development of a DVD that was duplicated and distributed to 245 community groups, physican offices, schools, government offices and individuals in the Territory for their use as an information and education tool. The rest of the Quarter was spent monitoring the project website, beginning the development of Public Service Announcements on climate change, dengue and ciguatera, planning and executing the logistics associated with the upcoming Institute 3 of the project, and consulting with MUSC partners and Dr. Callwood. In addition, monthly reports were submitted to the Office of the Governor of the Virgin Islands as required.
