HEALTH COMMUNICATION ANTHOLOGY

Upon a request from the Pan American Health Organization, several months ago
we invited, through the Drum Beat and Son de Tambora networks, your opinions
with regards to a set of materials we described as a Health Communication
Anthology. The objective of this exercise was to offer social change
communication practitioners and academics a set of materials that have
already been used with success in the field and have the recognition of
people working in communication and development.


Below you will find the results of this process, which included several
steps:

* CI/CILA put together an initial list of 45 materials.
* This list was shared with a group of experts working in the field of
health communication who provided initial feedback, leading to a final list
of 61 materials.
* Dissemination of this list to the health communicators within both
networks with 3 specific questions: 1) feedback on which materials thought
best; 2) which materials should not be part of the anthology; and 3) which
other materials should have been included in the final list.
* A follow up process by which CI/CILA contacted organisations and
individuals to ensure that materials suggested for inclusion in the
Anthology were either available via Internet or through any other means.
Those materials for which CI/CILA were unable to get specific contact
information were left out of the Anthology.


For further information about this process, please contact Rafael Obregon
obregonr@paho.org or Juana Marulanda jmarulanda@comminit.com


THE RESULTS


This process resulted in a current total (April 2003) of 109 materials
including print publications, online documents, summaries, CD-ROMs, and
videos.  These materials range from research documents to guides, to
factsheets and worksheets for field workers, to case studies, to reports, to
policy papers, to analyses of programming activities, to field-tested
materials used within campaigns. We look forward to this list continuing to
grow as we receive additional suggestions through this continuing process.


Although this Health Communication Anthology is meant to be a resource for
academics and practitioners working primarily in the field of health
communication, many of the materials may also be very useful in other
communication areas.
