Ms. Augur, is there a link to your novella coloring book or is there a
way I can order a sample? We did a coloring book a while back with
Arkansas Medicaid for Hispanic children with asthma. It's still
available for Arkansas physicians at www.afmc.org/tools. Now we are
about to start work on a fotonovella and DVD slide show for Head Start
parents to improve their general health literacy. We have an excellent
illustrator so another coloring book for them to the parents to take
home and share with their kids might be a good supplement.
Thanks!

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-
