GUIDELINES FOR DEVELOPMENT
OF A HEALTH FAIR
by
Ruby Wanda Soukup and Peter J.S. Friedman
Master of Science Degree in
Health Science Health Administration
The purpose of this project is to define and demonstrate a
method of providing health resources to a defined community, while
educating providers of health care to the health needs and desires of
the population.
This paper discusses the phases of planning, develop-
ment, and implementation of a campus-sponsored health fair.
Analysis
is made concerning planned events versus events that actually occured.
Also, supporting exhibit material is provided to assist in the planning
of future health fairs.
The overall goal of the Health Fair was to establish rapport and
goodwill in the community toward the campus and the health-care sector,
while offering complete multi-phasic health screening at no cost.
There were ten specific objectives:
1.
To plan, organize, and implement the Health Fair at a
cost not to exceed $2000 for administrative expenses.
ix
•
2.
To obtain at least thirty volunteers from the campus
and community to staff designated committees.
3.
To obtain the best possible site on campus in order to
attract at least five-thousand people to the Health
Fair.
4.
To plot areas and assign spaces for exhibitors and
screeners in order to obtain the best possible utilization of each provider.
5.
To medically screen three-thousand people from a sevenmile radius catchment area.
6.
To arrange for appropriate medical follow-up and referral by each screening service.
7.
To distribute a referral resource list to at least 80%
of the population receiving screening services.
8.
To distribute health education literature to 80% of the
attending population.
9.
To obtain support and cooperation from the following
organizations:
hospitals, health maintenance organiza-
tions, Los Angeles County Department of Health, C.S.U.N.
Department of Health Science and the Student Health
Center.
10.
To obtain commitments from at least fifty screeners and
exhibitors for the Health Fair.
In general, the findings showed that this project created unmeasurable goodwill for the campus, sponsoring agencies, and the participants.
After the project was completed, the steering committee
X
agreed that the majority of the objectives had been met.

CHAPTER ONE
I. INTRODUCTION
The Health Fair has become a new mode for determining an individuals need for health care.
The intent is to inform and make available
to target communities, those aspects of health care which are available,
and, through an evaluation of utilization of these resources, to make
providers of health resources aware of community health needs and
desires.
The overall goal of the Health Fair was to establish rapport and
goodwill in the community towards the campus and the health care community and to offer complete multi-phasic health screening at no cost
to the public.
The five specific purposes for holding the Health Fair are:(l)
1.
L
To make providers of hea 1th care aware of community needs and
to make consumers aware of community· health resources.
2.
To distribute selected health information to community
members.
3.
To provide some direct health services in terms of screening
of health problems; to include diagnostic screening.
4.
To evaluate the results of the project as an effective public
health education approach to preventive health care, and to
provide follow-up and referral references.
5.
To accomplish as many of the stated objectives as time,
money and manpower allows.

A.
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Obstacles to Receiving Health Care
Due to the high cost of receiving health care, national interest
has begun to focus on preventive health care as one method of reducing
costly utilization of certain resources, specifically hospitalization
and "crisis" care.
Two obstacles must be overcome.
The first is that of educating
people to the need for preventive check-ups.
A felt need by the indi-
vidual will normally lead to action, whereas a perceived need for the
individual will not.
It therefore becomes the duty and responsibility
of the hea 1th professi ona 1 to somehow, i nsti 11 the idea of preventive
health care into the individual.
The·second obstacle is equally difficult'.
taining of care after discovery of the need.
This involves the ob-
There are myriad reasons
for the inability of the individual to obtain the needed care.
Among
these are included a place from which to receive the care, e.g. a physician or other professional who will make the care available, and, the
funds with which to pay for this care.
The Health Fair is no panacea, nor is it intended to be.
It meets
only a few of the significant problems, therefore, its intent is to
make available, at no cost to the individual, an array of diagnostic
medical screening tests and to offer referral sources where, it is
hoped, people may be able to obtain follow-up care at a price that can
2
be afforded.
The success of such an event must be measured by those who receive
diagnostic services and the release of this utilization information to
the resources who must make necessary care available.
B.
Significance of the Problem
Early detection of possible health problems should lead to pro-
per preventive measures and alleviation of more serious disease processes.
In addition, preventive care is, in the long run, much less ex-
pensive than acute care.
Therefore, the aim of this project was to make a preliminary
effort to educate both consumers and providers with a view toward better continuity and coordination of individual health care.
Knowledge about disease processes and what types of preventive
measures can be accomplished to control them and can significantly contribute to reduced episodic illness.
C.
Description of Study Type
This project is a descriptive study of the process and guidelines
involved in the development of a campus-community health fair.

ORGANIZATION OF PAPER
This paper is organized so as to present the process and
dure as it actually took place.
proce~
It will present, first, those areas
Which were anticipated and planned for.
Secondly, it will present a
discussion of the actual process which evolved from necessity as events
occured.
A.
BACKGROUND:
This project was undertaken for the purpose of advancing campus/
community relationships through the mechani.sm of offering worthwhile
services to the public on a one (1) day no-cost basis.
Being involved in the Masters Degree program in Health Science
with the option of Hospital and Health Services Administration, and
closely identified with the option of Health Education, it was anticipated this project would present an opportunity to gain both a learning experience in dealing with bureacracy and a method to enhance the
image and status of the University in the community setting.
Meetings with others who had been instrumental in projects of a
similar nature encouraged us to feel that this activity could be both
successful and beneficial to ourselves and all those who wished to
participate.
Preliminary discussion with appropriate persons in the Department
of Health Science and Campus Administration indicated that, at least
in theory, the idea had support.
Verbal contacts with community health care resources indicated
that there would be strong support for such an event and that most
5
such organizations intended to participate.
Based on the foregoing indications of interest, the authors
elected to pursue a project of this nature.
A number of persons who
had been consulted previously were asked to attend a Steering Committee
meeting for the purpose of devising a plan of operation.
B.
REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE
A thorough literature review of the topic was conducted through
the use of the MEDLARS Il
11
11
Bibliographic search service offered by
the University of California, Los Angeles Biomedical Library.
However, there were few articles available concerning the topic
of health fairs, therefore, personal interviews served as the primary
source of information.
C.
DESIGN OF THE MODEL
Major considerations to be reviewed in evaluating the feasibility
of a campus/community Health Fair dissolves irito six specific functions;
(1)
1.
Organizational structure and control.
2.
Political considerations.
3.
Manpower requirements.
4.
Facilities, equipment and space requirements.
5.
Campus and community support.
6.
Publicity.
The question of organizational structure and control in-
cludes financing, and management.
Four Health Fairs, other than
Northridge, will be described briefly.
{2)
Political considerations include the image the campus
7
wishes to project, the equal accessibility to al1 health related
community entities, and consideration for campus organization
and departments who wish to participate.
Criteria for success entails the interaction and coordination of all these factors, negotiating the organizational structure in order to obtain support and approval for each step in the
chain of events.
In addition, there must be an explicit interest for the
needs and desires of the community and a consideration of those
businesses and organizations which make up the community and their
special interests.
(3)
Manpower requirements include a definition of numbers and
types of personnel necessary to meet the objectives.
Objectives
and scope of the project may need redefining as it is discovered
what types and how many personnel are available on a voluntary
basis.
{4)
Facilities, equipment and space requirements must be deter-
mined and constantly reviewed based on the numbers and kinds of
participants who intend to be available.
(5)
Campus and community support must be continually solicited,
both in terms of services and funds.
(6)
Publicity must be an on-going activity.
All avenues must
be explored and utilized to get information about the event to
providers and the public.
8
D.
BENEFITS TO THE PUBLIC
The cost-effectiveness of this method of health problem detec-
tion and education can be attributed to the volume of persons who can
be tested and evaluated in a single area in one day.
With numerous
resources of personnel and equipment available and adequate space it is
estimated that thousands of persons can be screened for health needs.
E.
BENEFITS TO THE PROVIDERS
Cost-benefit to the providers of these services will be measured
by utilization records.
The goodwill generated by this valuable public
service is unmeasurable.
F.
PROBLEMS GENERATED
Detecting health problems is only a small portion of the total
health care spectrum.
To tell a person they may have need for further
medical examination and/or treatment without making accessible to them
the method or vehicle through which such follow-up can be received is
to do that person a disservice.
Until such time as needed health care can be made available to
all persons without the barriers of money, time and other factors, it
behooves providers of health service to let the public know what is
available and by whom or what organization.
Current ethical and legislative restrictions make this a task
more difficult than it should be.
In partial resolution of this delemma a "Referral list" was researched and available to the public on the day of the Health Fair.
This list included as many and as much information concerning the
accessability of health care·as could be determined within the limits
,,·-
'
'
9 '
of the above mentioned constraints.
G.
SETTING OF THE PROJECT
The Health Fair was located on the Southeast portion of the
campus, near a main thoroughfare and with easy access to free parking
areas, the Student Health Center and the South Cafeteria.
CHAPTER FOUR
IV.
METHODOLOGY
This project was conceived with the intent of establishing rapport and goodwill in the community and to offer complete multi-phasic
health screening to as many of the populace who wished to receive such
services, limited only by the kind and number of participants and the
elements of time itself.
The method chosen to accomplish the above
was by holding a Health Fair on the campus of California State University at Northridge.
The Fair was a one day event with free services
being offered from 9:00a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
In order to assure that the purposes of this project would be
met, the following policies were established:
1.
No organization or person would be allowed to make a profit
from the Health Fair.
2.
No charges would be made for any item or service except food
and refreshments.
All profits from the sale of food and
refreshments would be used to pay the expenses of the Health
Fair.
3. All professional participants would be voluntary, provide
the necessary supplies and/or equipment, and provide profesSionally qualified/certified personnel as required by law.
4.
Other participants would include volunteers in such areas as
information, education and entertainment.
5.
Consumers/community would consist of all persons who wished
to attend.
10
11
6.
Advertising would be geared to cover all communities in the
San Fernando Valley, with special emphasis on the communities
within a seven mile radius of the campus, which was defined
as the catchment area.
A.
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM:
Limited resources, both in terms of money and providers, make the
obtaining of preventive health care less than a priority item for many
people.
In addition, the high cost of receiving services prevent many
from seeking diagnostic services even when a need is felt for such
services.
Not only is making such services available and accessible a major
task, there is the additional problem of creating the desire to utilize
those which are made available and accessible.
B.
OBJECTIVES:
The overgoal of the Health Fair was to establish rapport and good-
will in the community toward the campus and the health-care sector,
while offering complete multi-phasic health screening at no cost.
There were ten objectives:
1.
To plan, organize, and implement the Health Fair at a
cost not to exceed $2000 for administrative expenses.
2.
To obtain at least thirty volunteers from the campus,
and community to staff designated committees.
3.
To obtain the best possible site on campus in order to
attract at least five-thousand people to the Health
Fair.
4.
To plot areas and assign spaces for exhibitors and
~·
12 ', ..
screeners in order to obtain the best possible utilization of each provider.
5.
To medically screen three-thousand people from a sevenmile radius catchment area.
6.
To arrange for appropriate medical follow-up and referral by each screening service.
7.
To distribute a referral resource list to at least 80%
of the population receiving screening services.
8.
To distribute health education literature to 80% of the
attending population.
9.
To obtain support and cooperation from the following
organizations:
hospitals, health maintenance organiza-
tions, Los Angeles County Department of Health, C.S.U.N.
Department of Health Science and the Student Health
Center.
10.
To obtain commitments from at least fifty screeners and
exhibitors for the Health Fair.
C.
SPECIFIC METHODS USED:
1. A proposal was submitted to the Department of Health Science
and option coordinators and the Student Associations of the
Health Science Department.
2.
Health Maintenance Organizations and full service hospitals
serving the communities within a seven mile radius of the
campus were invited to become co-sponsors of the Health Fair,
along with the C.S.U.N. sponsors.
3.
(Exhibit 2)
Committees were established, with a coordinating chairperson
13 '
for each area of concentration.
4.
Health related organizations were asked to contribute personnel and equipment for the purpose of screening for health
problems.
5.
(Exhibit 3)
Permission was requested to use the facilities of the Student
Health Center, the South Cafeteria and surrounding areas.
Contingency space was requested on the first floor of the
South Library and selected rooms on the first floor of Science
buildings, North and South.
Room and Space reservations re-
quest was submitted to the appropriate office.
(Exhibit 4,
Reservation request; Exhibit 5, Campus Map with areas out1 ined.)
6.
Outdoor booths and/or tables, tents, etc. were set up for
information, entertainment and direct screening as appropriate
to such a setting.
Requests were made to County Supervisors
for use, delivery and pick-up of booths and a stage.
Use
of tables and chairs were obtained from C.S.U.N.
7.
Most direct screening sites were located in the Student
Health Center, but those organizations requesting outside
locations were set up in the "quad area" surrounding the
Cafeteria.
8.
Information and entertainment booths were established around
the green areas and the out door stage adjacent to and in
front of the Cafeteria.
9.
10.
Food booths were to be lncated in and around the quad area.
Each department in
the C.S.U.N. complex was to have been
14 ,
asked to contribute in some way to the project.
(Exhibit
6, list of departments; Exhibit 7, Letter requesting participation.)
11.
Projects and activities were to be informative and/or
entertaining.
12.
Decorations were to be colorful and in keeping with a festival atmosphere.
13. All pertinent monitoring agencies were contacted to assure
that the Fair would be in compliance with campus and public
rules and regulations. (Exhibit 8.)
14.
Questionnatfes concerning public reaction were to be
dis~
tributed during the Fair for purposes of evaluation.
(Ex hi bit 9. )
15.
Records of medical coverage received were maintained.
Sam-
ples of brochures, flyers and other ·farms of public communication were kept and efforts made to determine the most
effective form (Exhibit 10,Press Release samples.)
16.
Overall coordination of the Health Fair was accomplished
through a Steering Committee consisting of professional
advisors, students and community leaders.
17.
Letters of request to participate were sent to businesses,
agencies, associations, etc. (Exhibit 11)
18. All participating groups and individuals signed a Notice
11
of Intent to Participate
11
•
These forms were used in alloca-
tion of space assignments, tables, chairs and power needs.
{Exhibit 12)
15
19.
Detailed instructions in the form of a "Welcome Aboard"
letter were sent, along with a campus map to participants.
(Exhibit 13.)
20.
Sign-up sheets were to be used at each screening center to
assist in evaluation of the success of the Health Fair.
(Exhibit 14.)
21.
Signed consent forms for screening were required for each
individual partaking of a service.
22.
(Exhibit 15.)
Records of funds received and disbursed were maintained.
trust fund was established on campus.
A
These records were
used for control and evaluative purposes.
(Exhibit 16,
Financial Report.)
23.
Evaluation of the effectiveness of the Health Fair as a public health education tool was planned.
24.
Final report and recommendations were submitted to appropriate
C.S.U.N. authorities.

to determine \'lhether or not the objectives of the Health Fair had been
met.
F.
Further detailed analysis is outlined in Chapter V.
LIMITATIONS:
Numerous factors play a part in how well an activity of this
type goes over and whether or not it can be deemed successful.
A major limitation for this particular project was the amount
and type of support which could be generated in the campus atmosphere,
as well as the community.
lT'
Lack of funding for the event was a hampering factor, causing
constant revision of the planned methodology.
The numbers of persons who volunteered, the amount of time, effort and knowledge they were willing to give, and adequate working
space were all limiting agents.
Additional limitations must include such factors as weather,
conflicting events and whether or not adequate publicity can be
generated.

FINDINGS
As previously stated this section presents events as they
actually occured and includes an evaluation of stated objectives.
An
attempt is made to show the activities, problems encountered and culmination of the project.
A.
INVESTIGATION OF OTHER HEALTH FAIRS:
In order to determine availability of resources and those ser-
vices which are most frequently utilized by the public at an event of
the Health Fair type, various members of the Steering Committee attended four other Fairs.
1.
The first fair attended was a two day event at California State University at Los Angeles (C.S.U.L.A.).
This was a
jointly sponsored activity by the Campus and the Monterey
Park Boys Club.
The Fair was initiated by a group of local
physicians who saw a need to provide some free medical
service to the area whose population consists of a large
number of medically indigent to low income Latinos.
The campus Public Affairs officer became actively
involved in the early stages of planning, and was able to involve the University as a co-sponsor through the office of
the President.
Organization consisted of numerous committees headed
by Campus professionals/students and Community physicians/
leaders.
Ultimate responsibility for the Fair development
18
19
·,
and management was held by the University Public Relations
Department, with the Public Affairs Officer directly
respon~­
sible for all logistics and coordination.
Expenses were underwritten by the University, but no
formal proposal or budget was submitted.
Various contribu-
tions were made through the Boys Club, and, all services,
time and equipment was donated.
The campus provided a major-
ity of the medical equipment, audio-visual, duplicating and
miscellaneous supplies.
There were 101 exhibitors and 21 different health
screeners.
Attendance was estimated at 25,000 persons for
the two days.
2.
The Mid-Valley YMCA Health Fair was developed as a
community affair to get local people involved and develop
better rapport.
The YMCA was the on-ly sponsor.
Four people
made up the core group, two from the YMCA, the Director and
the activities Coordinator, a representative from Valley
College and a faculty member of C.S.U.N.
This Fair was held at the YMCA facility where tables and
chairs were furnished.
All other equipment was brought in
by the exhibitors and screeners.
All funds were donated and
all labor was voluntary.
This one day event drew 24 exhibitors, and 9 screeners.
Total attendance was estimated at between four and five
thousand.

The Health Fair at University of California, Los Angeles
was unique in that its sole intent was to cater to the needs
of the campus population.
The event was co-sponsored by the Student Health Center
and the Student Activities Department.
Steering committee
included medical personnel, faculty ·and students.
Apparently initial community support had been solicited
but for unknown reasons, no medical screening was offered
except blood pressure readings.
by the sponsoring groups.
All funding was provided
Twenty exhibitors were present.
This Fair was available for only five hours.
B.
INTERVIEWING OTHERS:
In order to determine
~ajar
areas of attention for holding a
Health Fair, the Directors set up interviews with sponsors of the
C.S.U., LA committee chairpersons.
This group was chosen as having
the best track record in terms of participation by providers and
11
11
community and because it had held at least two previous Health Fairs.
21
In addition, the same type of campus setting and joint campus/community sponsorship was envisioned.
Many discussions were held with both the Public Affairs Officer
for C.S.U.L.A. and the President of the Monterey Park Boys Club.
De-
tailed information was solicited about planning and implementation,
problems and benefits.
Both parties indicated that a great deal of
time and tenacity were necessary in order to reach a successful conclusion.
Other organizations and individuals were interviewed but the
forementioned were the major source of information and the C.S.U.N.
Fair was to be based on the same format.
Additional sources are
acknowledged in the Exhibit #17.
C.
OBTAINING INFORMATION ABOUT WHAT WAS OFFERED, BY WHOM, AND THE
GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE POPULATION WHICH ATTENDED:
Brochures were obtained from each of th~ four Fairs which were
attended.
These contained names of providers and types of services
which were offered.
In addition, lists of organizations were obtained
which included those who may have evinced interest but were unable to
participate on the date of the scheduled event.
Information was also obtained as to the number of "no shows"
which could be anticipated.
Since each of the events varied in scope as to the overall goals
of the organization, so too, did the evaluation of success.
The three
"public" events were determined to have been successful in meeting
their goals by the committees.
All of the above events were held during the planning stages of
the C.S.U.N.
11
Health Yourself Health Fair and therefore only incon11
clusive results as to the general characteristics of the population
attending were available.
Only one group, the C.S.U.L.A. committee
planned to make any type of formal evaluation.
D.
DETERMINING FEASIBILITY, INTEREST AND BENEFITS:
1.
Verbal interest of campus authorities.
From April through July 1976 a series of meetings took
place, mostly on a one-to-one basis.
The idea was presented
first to the student organization, Health Administration
Student Association (HASA) who were requested to act as
sponsors for the event.
Succeeding meetings included the
Health Science Option Coordinator, Department Chairman,
University President, Dean of Students, Student Affairs and
Assistant Dean, and Student Activities.
Each of these per-
sons indicated interest in the idea· of holding such an
activity.
2.
Meeting with pertinent campus departments to determine
problems, support and legal implications.
Since the Health Fair was envisioned as a total campus
sponsored activity the intent was to request participation
from every department and organization.
Before final
approval could be obtained to hold the Health Fair, it was
felt that input should be obtained from some of the departments which would, of necessity, be involved in the planning
and implementation phases.
A list of C.S.U.N. monitoring departments and possibly
23 .
r .
interested groups was compiled with the assistance of the
Department Chairman.
This list is attached as Exhibit #8.
Telephone calls were made to each office requesting attendance at a meeting to discuss the Health Fair. A follow-up
memo was sent confirming time, date and place.
Attached to
the memo was a copy of the narrative section of the proposal.
Each person attending was requested to make comments, suggestions and to present possible problem areas.
3.
Obtaining commitments from screeners and
exhibitors~
Having compiled a number of resource lists from other
Health Fairs and various directories, committee members began making telephone calls to organizations asking for participation and support.
Response was such that it was deemed
more than adequate to justify going ahead with preliminary
planning.
E.
(see Exhibit #1.)
PRESENTATION OF PRELIMINARY PROPOSAL TO SPONSORING DEPARTMENTS AND
ORGANIZATION:
In January, 1977, a written proposal was presented to the De-
partment Chairman and Option Coordinator and approval was sought for
full sponsorship by the Department, and the two student organizations.
Before full sponsorship was granted it was determined that an
interdepartmental meeting should be held for the purpose of receiving
attitudes and implications toward such a project.
Such a meeting was
scheduled for the following week. (Exhibit #18)
No objections were put forth at the interdepartmental meeting
which would obviate the feasibility of going forth with the project.
24
Limited approval was granted based on conditions that funding
be obtained from outside sources, that channels of communication
throughout the campus would be maintained through the department, and
that acceptable procedures would be developed as necessary.
The Fair had originally been scheduled to be held on March 12,
1977 to coincide with a Dietary Symposium to be held on campus.
Due
to the number of clearances which were necessary in order to obtain
final approval of the project, it was determined that adequate planning
time was not available and therefore the Fair would be rescheduled for
Apri 1 30, 1977.
On March 1, 1977, a joint Administration-Health Fair Committee
meeting was held to advise the President and his staff on the status
and overall plan for the Health Fair.
A copy of the results of this
meeting and response are shown in Exhibit #20.
Interdepartment meetings were scheduled on an as needed basis
with such departments as Plant-Operations, Campus Security, Health
and Environmental Safety and the Art Department.
In order to generate further interest and support a letter was
sent to the eighteen full service hospitals and the five prepaid_
health plans requesting they become full co-sponsors along with the
University.
Only one organization agreed to become a full co-sponsor.
This organization, Northeast Valley Health Corporation, contributed
fully toward the success of the Health Fair, donating money, supplies,
equipment and personnel time. (Exhibit #19)
F.
ORGANIZATIONAL CHANNELS:
Since no formal support was received from Administration to make
25
the Health Fair a total campus activity, may doors were closed to the
committee.
No formal guidlines were established as to whom we could
call upon for help.
This made the task of obtaining support much more
difficult but also made it possible to by-pass a certain amount of procedural requirements.
It must be acknowledged here that even had full and formal support been given, it is only with the good-will of those who must be
involved that an event of this scope can be brought to a satisfactory
conclusion.
It must a1so be acknowledged that many favors were "called-in"
by a few active and influential supporters, both on campus and in the
community.
G.
PUBLICITY:
An event of the Health Fair type, geared to attract large num-
bers of the public, requires a great amount of exposure through all
forms of publicity media.
Use of free billboard space had been obtained throughout the
target area, but due to lack of funding it was not possible to get the
posters ready for display in the time allocated.
Posters were eventual-
ly printed and displayed on Rapid Transit District buses.
Public Relations offices on campus, all sponsors and numerous
participants were utilized.
News releases were issued at least weekly
from the second week in March.
Newspaper stories and pictures were
solicited at least weekly. (Exhibit #21)
Flyers and information went to all schools in the area for
distribution.
Radio and television public announcements were utilized.
<'
26
Some television talk shows advertised the coming event and encouraged
people to attend.
H.
FUNDING-Objective 1:
To plan, organize, and implement the Health
Fair at a cost not to exceed $2000 for administrative expenses.
Our research failed to turn up any Health Fair which had submitted a budget of proposed expenses.
We had also been unable to
determine actual cash outlay by any sponsoring organization.
In the early stages of planning, a grant request had been submitted to the C.S.U.N. Foundation Student Grant Projects office in the
amount of $2000.00 which was to be used for purchase of paper products,
postage, printing, etc.
This budget was devised out of sheer guess-
work, but did in fact, come very close to actual expenses.
The grant
was denied as not being of particular value to the campus.
Since no funds were to be allocated by the department or the
University, it was necessary to solicit funds from other sources to
cover expenses for items which were necessary but for which we were
unable to obtain outright donations.
This objective was met as shown in Exhibit #16.
I.
ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE AND CONTROL-Objective 2:
To obtain at
least thirty volunteers from the campus and community to staff
designated committees.
Since this event was intended as a management type learning
experience, in addition to offering valuable public services, the codirectors attempted to establish a working organizational structure.
(Table 1)
It was anticipated that each area of concern would have a
27
Chairperson and volunteer staff.
In actuality there evolved a volun-
tary advisory board consisting of faculty, Pubilc Health Administrators,
student coordinators and community service leaders and a representative
of the Valley Parent-Teacher organization.
Active volunteers to staff the committees were not available so
that in the final anaylsis, five persons handled the entire activities
of the Health Fair.
Delegation of authority resembled the following:
Chairman, Department of Health Science
Department Advisor
Co-Directors
Community Relations
Health Services
Logistics
Control basically became a function of one of the Directors,
whose responsibility it was to see that, somehow, money and supplies
were available, that bills were not generated ·which could not be paid
and that all required regulations were being met.
Ultimate authority rested in the Chairman, Department of Health
Science.
J.
POLITICAL CONSIDERATIONS:
In an event of this type it is imperative that an attempt be
made to contact all interested parties, to offer equal opportunity
to possible participants, to include all communities of the target population, to invite all community organizations and to be totally impartial in every possible way.
Needless to say, the above are not always capable of being accomplished.
Many factors are involved which make the task difficult.
-
28
Lack of knowledge, time and the manpower with which to obtain the
needed information become burdensome quantities.
lead to any or all of the following:
These burdens can
by-passed authority, confusion
over similar names of organizations and people, duplication of effort,
needed resources not being utilized.
Fortunately, most political toe-stubs are capable of being
soothed, but they require a great deal of time, effort and diplomacy.
It behooves any group to make a careful study of these political considerations during the
K.
e~rly
planning stage.
FACILITIES-Objective 3 and 4:
To obtain the best possible site
on campus in order to attract at least five-thousand poeple to the
Health Fair. (4)
lo plot areas and assign spaces for exhibitors and
screeners in order to obtain the best possible utilization of each
provider.
In-door facilities were anticipated to be the Student Health
Center, the Cafeteria and selected rooms in Science building, South.
Contingency space was requested should the weather prove inclement.
Outdoor space was requested in front of and to the side of the Health
Center and the Quad area of the Cafeteria/Bookstore, South Library
11
11
and Science, South.
The following criteria were used in site selection:
1.
Examination facilities of Health Center.
2.
Visibility from the street.
3. Access to parking.
4.
Maximum flat exhibit area.
5.
Maximum shade area for public to sit and rest.
29
6.
Availability to public toilets and water.
7.
Security and safety elements.
8.
Nearness to covered available
9.
Access to utilities.
buildings~in
case of rain.
(Power for exhibits)
10.
Vehicle access to exhibit site for loading and unloading.
11.
Stage area for entertainment.
12.
Cooking and serving facilities for food and refreshments.
13. Adequate space to eliminate bottlenecks and allow for
crowd control.
14.
Isolated from other areas where Saturday events might be
in progress.
Space reservation request was made on January 17, 1977 .. Arrangements for use of the Student Health Center and the South Cafeteria
were separate arrangements requiring a number of meetings and negotiations between the Department, Committee, McDonalds• Restaurants and
the University Foundation.
All requested space, both indoors and out had been blueprinted
and plotted.
This arrangement made it possible to know at all times,
where and how much utility power would be needed, how much space and
the number of tables and chairs to be used.
It also allowed for great
flexibility in the addition or deletion of participants and utilization
of each provider.
It is estimated that over 10,000 persons attended the one-day
C.S.U.N. Health Fair.
Such a turn out would tend to indicate 'that the
public sees a great need for evaluative screening and will take advantage of the opportunity to obtain it.
.
30'
L~
BENEFITS TO THE PUBLIC-Objective 5:
To medically screen three
thousand people from a seven mile radius catchment area.
Over 5200 persons took advantage of one or more screening
services.
No records are available as to the number who obtained in-
formational brochures or watched demonstrations of health related procedures~
M.
such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
(see figure A.)
BENEFITS TO THE PROVIDERS:
Utilization records of services rendered were made for each
provider of service.
From these records each provider could make a
decision as to whether or not it had been of benefit to participate
in the Health Fair.
Due to lack of funds, no follow-up letter was sent, but provider
evaluations were verbally requested from each by the committee members.
Only a few written responses were received all of which were
favorable.
N.
Recommendations are incorporated in Chapter 6.
OTHER OBJECTIVES:
1.
Objective 6-To arrange for.appropriate medical follow-up
and referral by each screening service.
Utilization records of screening services performed indicated
little need for medical follow-up and referral.
However, the Committee
had arranged for this service to be provided by many of the screeners.
The authors received records of follow-up activity from many screeners,
especially for blood tests.
This objective was deemed to have been
successful.
2.
Objective 7-To distribute a referral resource list to at
least 80% of the population receiving screening services.
31
Realizing that the detection of a health problem is only a step
in the continuum of health care, an attempt was made to offer names
of resources from which follow-up care might be received.
To this end, each provider of service made referrals as needed.
In addition a 11 Referral list 11 was researched by Community Health
Education Graduate Association.
This booklet was available to the pub-
lic on the day of the Fair, however, because of late delivery from the
print shop only 750 were distributed.
3.
Objective 8-To distribute health education literature to
80% of the attending population.
Lack of funds prevented the mailing of questionnaires to exhibitors requesting information on literature distributed.
4.
Objective 9-To obtain support and cooperation from the fol-
lowing organizations; hospitals, health maintenance organizations,
Los Angeles County Department of Health, C.S.U.N. Department of Health
Science and the Student Health Center.
This objective was fully met, however, the Fair Committee could
only persuade one H.M.O. to co-sponsor the Fair.
Support was also
received from all C.S.U.N. departments listed in Exhibit 8.
5.
Objective 10-To obtain commitments from at least fifty
screeners and exhibitors for the Health Fair.
This objective was more then successful, over one-hundred
agencies participated. (Exhibit #1)

CHAPTER SEVEN
VI I. SUMMARY
This project, hopefully, is only the initial step in a continued
effort by community organizations, such as C.S.U.N., to become more
involved in both educating and providing its public with health
services.
This project has also proven that with sheer determination, effort, and some hard work many obstacles can be overcome.
The co-directors have gained invaluable knowledge and experience
in making decisions and commitments under pressure situations and
therefore will be better able to apply themselves in the "outside
world ...
It has been the underlying theme of this thesis to formu1ate a
11
Cookbook 11 approach for developing a health fair under similar con-
ditions that were presented here.

CHAPTER EIGHT
VIII.
CONCLUDING REMARKS
The overall goal of the Health Fair was to establish rapport
and goodwill in the community toward the Campus and the Health care
community and to offer complete multi-phasic health screening at no
cost to the public.
Specific purposes were to:
1.
Make providers of health care aware of community needs
and to make consumers aware of community health
resources.
2.
Distribute selected health information to communtiy
members.
3.
Provide some direct health services in terms of screening of health problems; to include diagnostic screening.
4.
Evaluate the results of the project as an effective
public health education approach to preventive health
care.
5.
Accomplish as many of the stated objectives as time,
money, and manpower allow.
In addition to the above, the project was undertaken with a
view toward furthering the practical experience of the co-directors
in dealing with the multitude of people and problems such an activity
entails •. "
The co-authors, the steering committee, the advisors, and the
Health Science Department deemed the project and its goals to have
been adequately met.

CHECKLIST TO AVOID PROBLEMS DURING THE HEALTH FAIR
1.
Check out all audio-visual equipment for completeness and workability day before.
2.
Have back-up units available.
Exhibitors and screening areas should be in a compact arrangement,
and not too widespread.
3.
Plan for one information booth per thirty participants.
4.
Arrange for information booths to be staffed at all times with
knowledgeable people.
5.
Verify that an adequate number of parking attendents will be
available.
Use large visable signs and barracades to control
traffic flow.
6.
Have large quantities of consent forms (both English and Spanish)
at each screening station.
Each information booth should have
extras available.
7.
Distribute sign-in sheets to each screening station, with instructions for use, fifteen minutes prior to opening time.
8.
Have large scale maps showing locations of participants in convenient places.
9.
Use large block letters for names of each exhibit and screening
section.
10. Two coordinators should have keys to all building and rooms which
are to be used.
11. A command post should be available from 6:00a.m., centrally located, with a telephone and xerox available.
40 "
12.
Public restrooms must be available, other than in the screening
areas.
13. Crowd control personnel must have a group leader circulating
throughout defined areas to spot potential problems.
14. A telephone should be manned from 8:00 a.m. the day before the
event, staffed by knowledgeable persons, and the number published
so that participants and others can verify or obtain needed
information.
15.
Campus printing facilities should be available at an early date.
16.
No exhibits should be set-up before the morning of the fair.
17.
Campus administration cooperation is a necessity.
18.
Depending on the size of the fair sufficient booths should be
available.
19.
Using bus advertising is not effective unless it is run for at
least two weeks prior to the fair.
20.
Planning should consider the heavy demand for geriatric and
pediatric physicals.
21.
Only well trained persons should be allowed to take blood
Pressures.
22.
A paramedic should be on the planning committee.
23. Advance arrangements should be made for use of the cafeteria vending and game machines.

28.
After the medical screening process, the participants should receive a written form of any problems detected and referral
booklet.
29.
Even though electrical needs were planned for, the campus Plant
Department ran out of extension cables.
There should be greater
control in this area by the committee.
30.
"Runners" should be assigned to the screening center and other
strategic locations.
Also, identification badges should be worn
by all of the organizers and runners.
31.
The committee members should have a master key available to them

Medical Screening areas and services were discussed. Need for the total
availability of the Student Health Center was used. Dr. Sinay offered
a ~ rooms which was deemed inappropriate by the committee staff. It
was recommended that the ..cglllBiil:tee- should appoach Dean PecJJ.-eit"h this
issue.

History of the development of the fair concept and goals.
Environmental Health and Safety. It was agreed that the Steering
Committee would meet with Mr. Farmer to work out any problems.
Security Manpower. Mr. Perry offered 2 officers to be at our
disposal during the fair hours. Chris SchweitZer mentioned that
we would have 50~60 ROTC cadets from Van Nuys High School and
40-50 Eagle Scouts from the Devonshire Police Division plus
supporting officers.
Mr. Byrd agreed to redraft the medical screening forms so that
they met CSUN's approval.
Mr. Harvill requested exactly what needs the Fair would require
from his department. The Committee stated that'.they would· need
desks,_chairs, electricity, electric extension cords and a PA
system. We agreed to meet privately at a future date.
Dr. Sinay suggested that since the Depar~~nt of Health Science was
was co-sponsoring the Fair they should be liable for any loss or damage
to the Health Center equipment. Dr. Glass, Dr. Eiseman and Dr. Jones
and Mr •. Byrd strongly disagreed, stating this was a total university
problem not the Department of Health Science.
72
Exhibit 18
IV;
Dr. Sinay then questioned security manpower at the Center.
The committee offered use of the campus police, ROTC cadets and
Eagle Scouts to secure the Center. It was agreed that this matter
needed further study on the placement of the security staff and
locking up of the Center's medical supplies.
V.
Fred Farmer questioned if there was· a procedure for disposal
of used medical items such as s-_1ringes. Mr. Harvill stated
there would be no problem in this area because his staff would
clean the Center before the Monday following the Fair.
VI
The Committee read a· letter addressed to President Cleary,
from Mr. Witherill, Director of L.A. county Health Services,
stating that we had the approval and sponsorship of county
services for this event.
VII
Brian Manning was questioned on how A.S. could help with the'
Fair and in regards to A.S. sponsorship. He stated that he
would check the possibility of obtaining emergency A.S. funds.
Staffing would have to be through volunteers.
VIII
Or. Hufhines asked the attendance if there where any special
reasons on problems involved why this fair should not be held.
There were no statements made by the attendance.
IX
The Committee stated that they were seeking co-sponsorhip from
full-service hospitals and Pre-Paid-Hl>iO providers within a 7
mile radius of CSUN.
X
The committee adjourned the meeting by stating we would be
setting up meetings with departments that needed special attention
and planning.
Meeting adjourned at 5:30 PM.

Health Fair Committee-Administration Meeting
You requested a review of subjeft minutes and a correction of same if
incorrect.
I'm afraid I did not say that "as a campus event liability would be
covered by CSUN insurance" or, if I did, I was mistaken.
CSUN liability,·if any, to one who is injured or liability for property
damage must· be predicated on the negligence of a CSUN employee acting
within the scope of their employment. Additionally, since the event is
being held on campus, CSUN is charged with the responsibility of maintaining
faCilities in a safe manner and CSUN could be liable if someone was injured
as a result of faulty premises or "set-ups."
Every participating entity assisting with the Fair could, in the event of
an injury to a visitor, be liable ·for that injury it it were caused by the
negligence of their employee. For example, if McDonald's dispensed food
and a patron became ill with food poisoning, McDonald's and McDonald's
alone would be liable. The fact that the incident occurred on campus does
not make the University liable.
Of course, in the event of an injurJ, CSUN could be jointly liable with
one or more participating organizations, assuming of course that both
entities were responsible for the injury.
·
Suffice it to say that CSUN will not and cannot be an insurer for the

Following_is a statement of the results of the meeting requested by the Health
Fair-Commd.ttee to discuss CSUN Administrative involvement.
Even _though there was concern that the planned scope of the "Fair"was unattainable in the time period before the scheduled date, the event would take
place on a lesser scale on April 30, 1977.
Request for use of the Cafeteria under a proposed arrangement with Mr. Tillman,
O\mer of several McDonald's franchises, was neither approved nor rejected. Dr.
Hufhines will follow-up this and other building use requests with Dr. Bensen.
Several questions were raised about funding. The expenses of the event are to
be met through profits from McDonald sales, providing the previously mentioned
negotiations are approved. In addition $300.00 has been donated by the Northeast
Valley He~alth Corporation.
Mr. Byrd stated.that as
a campus
event liability would be covered by CSUN insurance.
Ms. Elia~ felt that obtaining widespread publicity would present few problems.
great deal of concern was expressed by Administration over use of campus
resources and the cost factors involved such as overtime for security and
maintenance personnel. No resolution was reached.
~
Ail correspondence is to have a faculty sponsors signature, or approval of
Dr. Eiseman, Chairman, Department of Health Science.
A procedure is to be .established for the handling of funds and allocation of
residue money.
The general impression-was that Administration would offer only tacit approval
and support but nothing substantial. Dean Benson did, however, state that we
might seek his advice.

If the previous statements are not in agreement with your impressions we
