Based on the work of HealthCom, a twelve-year, twenty-country study of health care in developing countries, this book provides a practical, five-step model for promoting change in existing behaviors and supporting essential good health practices.
Millions of children die of preventable diseases every year. Tragically, much of this suffering and death could be prevented with the appropriate use of simple health technologies and practices. Yet major efforts to educate the public and build basic health care infrastructures are hampered by illiteracy and cultural and language barriers which rAnder health communications ineffective.Based on the pioneering work of HealthCom, a twelve-year, twenty-country project funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development, this book provides a practical, five-step model for communication that promotes change in existing behaviors and that supports the good health practices essential for developing countries.By applying behavior analysis theory to the communication process, the authors reveal how understanding social and environmental contexts can significantly aid health communicators in developing effective communication strategies. They demonstrate how to use basic behavioral principles and techniques to determine the perceptions, needs, and values of a given population that support or inhibit sound health practices; to identify where change in most needed and feasible; and to select the most appropriate channels for communication.
