All citizens are welcome to come and learn about the results of a community assessment of the Town of North Andover and the prevalence of Lyme Disease from 5:30 – 7 PM. This was conducted and will be presented by nursing students from U-Mass Lowell. Also, a Public Health panel will be available to answer your questions.
Lyme Disease Facts – A web page has been created for the Town of North Andover to cover the basics of Lyme disease. The web page designers if you could please start by taking a pre-test prior to reading the educational part of this exercise to test your prior knowledge. After reading the educational component, they also ask that you take the same test, known as the post test, so that we may evaluate how useful the project was in increasing the knowledge of the town of North Andover on Lyme disease. Parents in the community are encouraged to educate their children on the prevention of Lyme disease. We have included a contest for 4th and 5th graders in the community to draw a picture displaying originality on ways of preventing Lyme disease. Deadline is Monday, May 4th. A winner will be chosen from each grade level and will win free passes to Laser Craze! Please visit our website for more information, which is linked from the Town’s Health Department at www.townofnorthandover.com/Pages/NAndoverMA_Health/Tick&LymeDiseaseInfo/Introduction
