About This Program
This program was created by health educators at the Oregon Center for Applied Science, Inc. (ORCAS), in Eugene, Oregon.
ORCAS combines scientific knowledge with technological innovation to create products that address real-world problems in public health and education. Since it was founded in 1989, the company has developed a wide range of interactive multimedia programs based on science-based principles of behavior change and instructional design. The quality of ORCAS’s programs is nationally recognized, and the programs have received more than 50 awards from groups including Summit, Telly, Communicator, and Horizon Interactive. Our programs address a wide range of topic areas such as smoking cessation, dealing with dementia as a professional or family caregiver, bicycle safety for children, and parenting at-risk adolescents.
