The campaign will also help to guide community conversations about under- DJHGULQNLQJDQGWRFRUUHFW misperceptions, accord- ing to the coalition. It will be based on existing data Congregation Beit Salmon hosts rabbinical internship from the 2014 Oregon Stu- dent Wellness survey and upcoming surveys of par- ents and community mem- bers. Campaign messages are being developed this summer. This fall, the coalition said, a variety of infor- mational messages will be promoted in the media. Additional surveys will be conducted in early 2016. Campaign results will be re- ported in the spring of 2016. Community partners for the campaign include Montana State University, the Oregon Health Author- ity Addictions and Men- tal Health Division, local schools and Lum’s Auto Sales in Warrenton.
