Excerpt from A Psychological Study of Motion Pictures in Relation to Venereal Disease Campaigns
In the early summer of 1919 the United States Interdepartmental Social Hygiene Board made a grant of to the Psychological Laboratory of Johns Hopkins University for the purpose of assist ing the laboratory in investigating the informational and educative effect upon the public of certain motion-picture films used in various campaigns for the control, repression, and elimination of venereal diseases. At the time the grant was made, Dr. T. A. Storey, exec utive secretary of the Board, suggested that the work should be carried out under the general supervision of an advisory board approved by the United States Interdepartmental Social Hygiene Board. Dr. Adolf Meyer, Dr. S. I. Franz and Professor R. S. Wood'worth were asked to serve in this capacity, and the experimental work has been carried out by the writers in consulta tion and with the approval of this board.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the use of motion pictures to educate the public about venereal disease in the early 20th century. It places this effort within the context of the broader social and medical movements of the time, including the temperance movement and the women's suffrage movement. The author argues that these films were part of a larger effort to improve public health and morality, and that they played a significant role in shaping public opinion about venereal disease. The book also examines the effectiveness of these films in educating the public about venereal disease, and finds that they had a positive impact on knowledge and attitudes. An important contribution to the field of public health history, this book sheds light on the importance of public education campaigns in shaping public health policy.
