Who gets to decide? • "Who should I listen to - the health minister or a private justice corporation? “– Mr. Toscani
Effective for University Students • “Our findings suggest that shocking content in an advertisement significantly increases attention, benefits memory, and positively influences behaviour among a group of university students” - Journal of Advertising Research, after showing AIDS/HIV Prevention ads
People don’t want to be scared • "Following intense research, we found that people now want help, support and advice in changing their behaviour: they want to do what's best for their children, rather than be scared into doing so" - Sian Jarvis, Department of Health's in the UK
