Case Study
Summary
During a heart attack, every minute matters. A delay in receiving medical help means risking death or permanent disability. And yet Australians were waiting an average of 6.4 hours after their first symptom before calling “000”. The Warning Signs campaign aimed to increase awareness of heart attack symptoms and encourage people to act fast to get help. The campaign ran for eight weeks in Melbourne, Geelong and Broken Hill, eliciting a significant shift in people’s attitudes and behaviour. And saving lives and quality of lives as a result. Based on its success, the campaign will be rolled out nationally.
