Dr. Mache Seibel, also known as “DocRock”, in cooperation with Cigna health services, has produced a rap video which shows children five steps they can take to avoid getting H1N1.
H1N1 threatens to sicken millions of children. It is critical that they learn to protect themselves; and one way kids can learn is through music.
DocRock's H1N1 Rap gives kids a memorable way to follow the steps provided by the Centers for Disease Control to avoid contracting the H1N1 flu.
"If you can sing about a health issue, you can talk about it, and talking about it helps change behavior.
Getting kids to sing about steps to avoid H1N1 helps them follow those steps," Dr. "DocRock" Seibel said.
Dr. Seibel is a board-certified physician who teaches at the University of Massachusetts Medical School.
As DocRock, he is an award-winning composer and performer of songs that help teach kids healthy behaviors through his HealthRock program.
