Dissemination is one of the four core activities provided by the PRC. The e-mail newsletter about physical activity and the listserv for physical activity advocates are two important channels that the PRC uses for disseminating physical activity information to public health and physical activity researchers and practitioners.

E-mail Newsletter About Physical Activity

The USC Prevention Research Center Notes is an e-mail newsletter with current information about physical activity and public health. The newsletter includes:

• Brief updates of current journal articles
• Training opportunities - conferences, workshops
• Notices of new reports, materials, and resources
• Current policy issues
• Recommended websites
• Reminders of national health observances
• Updates from national organizations

To subscribe to the newsletter, e-mail the Prevention Research Center at USCPRC@gwm.sc.edu, with your name, title, and organizational affiliation. There is no subscription cost.

Listserv For Physical Activity Advocates

The Physical Activity and Public Health On-Line Network is a listserv advancing public health approaches to promoting physical activity by creating a national network of public health practitioners, researchers and interested others.

A listserv is a forum for electronic discussion. When a member sends a message to the listserv, it is e-mailed to all members of the list, and any member can reply. This is an excellent way to get advice from colleagues, to share successes, and to pass on new information. Listservs often have ongoing conversations about topics of interest, with many members participating.
