Anthrax and the mail: the making of an educational video for mail workers.
The anthrax bioterrorist attacks in 2001 affected millions of people who process, sort, and deliver mail. To more effectively communicate information intended to protect the health of these workers, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention produced a short-format educational video in December 2001 that targets this diverse group. This report illustrates how an educational video can be rapidly produced to translate and disseminate public health recommendations as part of a public health emergency response.
