The Drum Beat 191 - Health Communication AnthologyPublication DateApril 7, 2003
HEALTH COMMUNICATION ANTHOLOGY Results of the Health Communication Anthology Inquiry on The Communication Initiative (CI)/ La Iniciativa de Comunicación (CILA) THE PROCESS 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: For further information about this process, please contact Rafael Obregon obregon@ohio.edu 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. The FULL ANTHOLOGY list is in alphabetical order, and can be viewed at: THE CATEGORIES In addition to the full listing, the materials were classified into diverse categories: Children & Adolescents, Curriculum Development, Evaluation, Gender, General Health, HIV/AIDS, Media, Participation & Social Mobilisation, Reproductive Health & Family Planning, Strategic Communication, and Training.
