VISUAL. AIDS IN HEALTH EDUCATION
HOW TO USE A FILM
AND MAKE IT AN EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE
A good film is not a substitute for teaching; it is a
part of teaching and, if used correctly, it is supplementary
material.
The health film or filmstrip belongs in the educational
program when it is related to a specific project being stud-
ied in the school or community. Use films on specific health
problems or on a phase of science, safety, homemaking, or
general healthful living.
The health film can do a great deal to influence the
behavior of students through shaping their attitudes to-
ward health problems.
These points are important in requesting or using edu-
cational films:
1. There should be an interest in problems under dis-
cussion, which indicates that a film would help to
answer questions.
2. The teacher chooses an available film and, if pos-
sible, previews it with her study guide as a help;
she also keeps in mind the questions from the group
which led to the request for a film. Before showing
the films, she talks with the group about what to
look for to find answers to questions.
3. In the discussion which follows the showing of the
film, it is helpful to run it through again to further
the students' understandings, and to plan activities
which may grow out of their interesting experi-
ences.
4. How does the information gained through seeing a
film suggest integration with other problems being
studied by the group?
Just "showing films" is of little value to the average
group. They should help toward understanding problems
under discussion. For example, a community group having
a problem of milk, water, sewage, and garbage disposal, or
other public health problems, would use an educational film
to help the group learn of standards in public health, and
to help in working out problems in a community.
VISUAL AIDS IN HEALTH EDUCATION
DESCRIPTIONS
Sound and silent films, 16mm. Color films designated.
All sound except those marked silent.
—ALCOHOL, TOBACCO, AND NARCOTICS
ALCOHOL AND THE HUMAN BODY (20 min.) Both live
photography and animation are used to show the spe-
cific effects of alcohol on the body. Traces the course
of alcohol through the body and its effect on the brain.
Problems of drinking and ways to control them are
suggested. Junior, senior high, and adults.
ALCOHOL AND TOBACCO: WHAT THEY DO TO OUR
BODIES (11 min.) Laboratory tests confirm the ef-
fects of alcohol and tobacco on our bodies ; how alcohol
slows a man's speed and affects his skill; how nicotine
causes the blood vessels to contract, producing un-
steadiness and fatigue. Intermediate, high school, and
adults.
ANY BOY— USA (24 min., color) A 13 year old boy meets
Mister Whisky on the highway and learns from him
that the adventures which intrigue the boy — piloting
a plane, driving an engine, steering a ship — are denied
Mister Whisky because he is not wanted where judg-
ment, stamina, agility, and clear thinking are essential.
High school and adults.
CHOICE IS YOURS, THE (20 min.) This up-to-the-minute
teaching film features Dr. A. C. Ivy, in charge of Chi-
cago Professional Schools of the University of Illinois.
Students are given answers to their questions about
alcohol. Junior, senior high, and adults.
DRUG ADDICTION (20 min.) Strips away all glamour from
narcotics for teen-agers. It explains the derivation of
marijuana, heroin, and cocaine. The harmful reactions
and effects are depicted by animated drawings. Junior,
senior high, college, and adults.
VISUAL AIDS IN HEALTH EDUCATION
FAR FROM ALONE (31 min.) A different temperance pic-
ture. It centers around drinking, but there is no drink-
ing in it. The picture reveals Christian answers to
current problems, but it does not show a minister or
a church building. The story focuses on drinking in-
stead of drunkeness. This film counteracts a growing
fallacy that beer does not intoxicate. It is packed with
information that is controversial, but presented in such
a way that it is acceptable to almost any group. Junior,
senior high, college, and adults.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT (14 min.) The value of good foods
in body building and energy production is contrasted
with the lack of food value in beer. Especially for ele-
mentary level.
FRIENDLY ENEMY (24 min.) Presents authentic facts
about the nature and properties of alcohol; its use in
industry ; its effects on the human body. Junior, senior
high, college, and adults.
IT'S THE BRAIN THAT COUNTS (20 min.) An interest-
ing story illustrates the effects of one drink of beer on
human judgment, and how it can cause a fatal decision.
The effects of alcohol and water are shown by several
experiments. Junior, senior high, and adults.
LIQUID LORE (20 min.) Compares the uses of alcohol and
water. It shows the effects of alcohol on the cells of
the body \ the results of drinking when driving. Junior,
senior high, and adults.
NO SMOKING (12 min.) A strong appeal is made for young
people not to start smoking. Describes the harm of
smoking; economic wastes both in cost of cigarettes
and fire damage. Stresses harm to users by lowering
appreciation in living, increasing nervousness, lowering
vitality, and shortening life. Junior, senior high, and
adults.
PROBLEM DRINKERS (20 min.) Indicates that alcoholism
should be treated more as a disease than as a crime.
Verifies the ill effects of liquor. Shows how Alcoholics
Anonymous helps. High school and adults.
VISUAL AIDS IN HEALTH EDUCATION
PUBLIC ENEMY NO. 1 (20 min., color) This educational
film for classroom use pictures the fascinating scenery
of the Pacific Coast and the mountains along the route
driven by a physician and his two sons. A previous
accident leads to the father's discussion of potential
dangers involved in the use and sale of alcoholic drinks.
High school and adults.
THAT BOY JOE (20 min.) Shows that for many adoles-
cents, home is merely a springboard toward the next
place. For use especially among women's clubs,
churches, P.T.A., Y.M.C.A., and other community agen-
cies.
TOBACCO AND THE HUMAN BODY (15 min.) An au-
thentic report on the scientific results of modern re-
search, evaluating the effects of the use of tobacco.
Analyzes the contents of tobacco smoke; demonstrates
some of the physiological effects of smoking ; and sums
up the factors to be considered in deciding whether or
not to smoke. Junior, senior high, college, and adults.
VICIOUS CIRCLE, THE (20 min., color) An advertising
artist's experience with the use of the products he de-
picted is shown. Emphasizes how widespread liquor
advertising influences American lives. Religious and
civic groups, high school, and college.
WHAT ABOUT ALCOHOL? (10 min.) Points out the ef-
fects of alcohol in a very impressive manner. Junior,
senior high, college, and adults.
WHERE DOES IT GET YOU? (20 min.) This is an alco-
hol educational film for teen-age groups in schools,
churches, and youth organizations. Juniors through
adults.
—CANCER
BREAST SELF-EXAMINATION (20 min., color) Illus-
trates the method prescribed by doctors for self-exam-
ination for breast cancer. Women's clubs and organi-
zations.
