Massive health education through technological mediation: Analyses and impacts on the syphilis epidemic in Brazil.

With syphilis cases on the rise, Brazil declared an epidemic in 2016. To address the consequent public health crisis, the Ministry of Health laid out a rapid response plan, namely, the "Syphilis No!" Project (SNP), a national instrument to fight the disease which encompasses four dimensions: (a) management and governance, (b) surveillance, (c) comprehensive care, and (d) strengthening of educommunication. In the dimension of education, the SNP developed the learning pathway "Syphilis and other Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs)" to strengthen and promote Health Education.
