e-Bug in Hungary

Disseminating information about the e-Bug project
As first step we have started to familiarize this new project in our country: in Oct 2012 and May 2013 we presented the project and the website to the public health (health development) professionals of the National Public Health and Medical Officers Service, of the Policy Administration Services of Public Health and of the Subregional Public Health Institute Services.

Establishment of the e-Bug network
The Office of the Chief Medical Officer (OCMO) introduced the use of e-Bug in Hungary as a useful tool in health development. At the end of the 1st half of the academic year 2013/2014 the OCMO established the e-Bug network by starting with recruitment of so-called e-Bug coordinators among public health (health development) professionals. The recruitment was done by contacting the county-based policy administration services of public health which coordinate and manage the professional activity of the subregional public health institutes, which are operating in their field of competence. All counties are represented in the e-Bug network altogether with 58 e-Bug coordinators.
The Ministry of Human Capacities and the Klebelsberg Institution Maintenance Centre supported the establishment of the e-Bug network.

Recruitment of schools
Schools were approached by e-Bug coordinators, who offered them the use of the e-Bug materials and provided them with professional assistance.
By the 2nd half of the academic year 2013/2014 finally 315 schools joined the e-Bug network. The communication between schools and e-Bug coordinators were maintained by altogether 304 e-Bug contacts who are teachers and school health visitors of the participating schools.

Monitoring of e-Bug activity
Based on the report of the e-Bug coordinators, in the 2nd half of the academic year 2013/2014 the number of school lessons using e-bug materials were 4 385 and the number of pupils reached through those lessons were 19 897.
Between 1st November 2013 and 7 October 2014, the number of visits of the e-Bug website from Hungary were 19 837 sessions, and the median of the average session durations was 14 minutes.

e-Bug competition
At the end of April 2014, the OCMO announced the national e-Bug competition among the students of the schools that joined the e-Bug network. The competition composed of a qualification and 3 consecutive rounds. The qualification was held at schools on 20 May 2014. The first round was held at the beginning of June 2014, from where 1-1 or 2-2 teams (according to the number of teams/county entered the competition) were qualified to the 2nd round. They had to prepare an original piece of art in relation to e-Bug: a poster in the 6-11 years and a video of 6 minutes in the 12-16 years old age group. The best 5 posters and best 5 videos qualified to the 3rd round. The selection was made by a jury of OCMO. The final round was held during the national e-Bug conference on 1st October 2014 to where the OCMO invited the members of the 5-5 best teams along with their teachers, and plus one team Special Prize Awarded due to their excellent movie making skills. The invitees were awarded a surprise afternoon program (visit of the Budapest Zoo). The best poster and video was chosen through voting by the audience of the conference.

Science show
The Hungarian version of Science Show posters have been made along with a document titled "Instructions to Science Show". The Science Show itself was held during a festival (dedicated for the start of the school term) held on 31 August 2014 in Budapest. The day was a great success (see at http://youtu.be/MZ4KJX3hG2U). We gave the opportunity for public health (health development) professionals to get to know the Science show during two other events: the 43rd annual conference of the Hungarian Society of Hygiene (25-26 Sept 2014) and the national e-Bug conference (1st Oct 2014).
