Thanks Lisa!
Laura- we've also recently completed a bilingual photonovel on gestational
diabetes and created the story on folic acid that I believe you were
referring to (it's actually a 'novela' coloring book). A group from the
National Training Collaborative for Social Marketing (USF) tested a variety
of folic acid educational materials (this novela, pamphlets, brochures) with
Mexican migrant families. It was the most popular choice and I understand
all the women reported gaining a better understanding of the need for
preconceptual folic acid.
 
In addition, the folks at Rural Women's Health Project in FL (Robin Lewey,
Exec Dir) also have an assortment of photonovels and have done some really
creative projects with photonovel development.
 
Feel free to contact me directly if you have any questions or would like
additional information.
Best wishes-

> Our community has been working on a marketing plan to get the word out

about improved patient-doctor communication and various chronic diseases. We
are leaning toward using a photo novella approach in our marketing materials
and of course making them health literacy friendly.

> -Does any one know of some good examples of photo novellas related to

health and/or health care? 

> -Is anyone using these types of resources now? If so, what has the

response been?
