Abstract

In matters of public health the participation of the citizens is essential to ensure the success of the action, as there is a demand for an individual effort that can assure benefits for the group, where there can be a balance between social and personal gain. Using as a base the social dilemma theory, the text discusses the results obtained from an experiment having the objective of assessing the immediate effects associated with the content of selected pieces. The themes addressed by the campaigns have a common characteristic: all are situations of major social interest that can only be resolved with strong individual participation.
