Mental illness PSAs: broad industry support sought for schizophrenia education program by NARSAD.
Executive Summary
MENTAL ILLNESS PSAs: BROAD INDUSTRY SUPPORT SOUGHT for a public service advertising campaign on schizophrenia that will be similar to the PSA recently launched by the National Alliance for Research on Schizophrenia and Depression with the Ad Council to educate the public on the role of new medicines and therapies in treating depression and other mental illnesses. The organization would prefer support from a broad consortium of companies rather than individual pharmaceutical firms, citing worries voiced by the Ad Council that corporate support could cloud the message by casting doubt on the credibility of the source.
