> 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.
