Documenting and Sharing Learning in Health Communication for Development - Section II

List of key resources (10 best) in participatory approaches to evaluation in any of the range of communication mediums and contexts, again with an emphasis on evaluation as an ongoing process of reflection rather than an externally driven management tool

1.Name of project: Health Hotline, Brazil

Geographical Spread: Developing countries, Brazil

Working: Nationally

Focus of work: Increasing awareness and understanding of health issues among the public

Sector: Health promotion/education; health communication; public health; ministries

Medium: Telephone; computing

Communication emphasis: Knowledge base; promoting access; interpersonal communication; information management/building

The health hotline of Brazil's Ministry of Health is a spin-off of the previous HIV/AIDS hotline. Given the previous success of the HIV/AIDS hotline, the Ministry of Health decided to expand its service to a wider range of public health issues covering three broad areas: legislative issues in the context of health (health rights; health reform); health information and prevention (general information about diseases and health conditions); counseling and referral services (responses to questions about specific health behaviors and situations and guidance for further information and attention).

The health line operates 24 hours. From 8 AM to 8 PM the line is attended by information counselors, and from 8 PM to 8 AM there is a voice mail system that guides callers through the system and provides answers based on an existing database. The voice mail system also allows callers to leave their contact information for return calls.

Currently, the hotline currently operates with 80 telephone lines and given its success it will soon be expanded to nearly 420 lines. Counselors are university students enrolled in medical or health-related training. In addition to their regular school training, counselors also receive training on those issues that get greater attention from the population and on interpersonal communication issues.

The hotline is promoted through different channels and formats: media, PSAs, schools, flyers, banners, internet, etc. The hotline is often publicised in conjunction with soap operas or entertainment programmes that deal with specific health issues. A case in point: when a popular and beloved soap opera character was diagnosed with spine cancer, the hotline was publicised during commercial breaks. Nearly 5,000 calls, asking questions about spine cancer, were received over the next two days.

Typically, when a person calls for health-related information, counselors use a protocol that includes questions about demographic and contact information (if callers wish to provide it), help needed, provision of information, and referral information if needed.

Evaluation issues: The hotline receives over 8,000 calls per day; 75% of callers ask about basic health information and prevention information, More than 50% of callers are younger than 24 years; Over 50% of calls deal with HIV/AIDS and STDs; calls are monitored for further training and improvement of service; recording of contact information serves as a database for further telephone surveys on formative or evaluation research by the Ministry of Health in different health fronts.

2.Name of project: Self-esteem of Black Children, Foundation for Children and Adolescents (FUNAC)

Geographical Spread: Developing countries, Brazil

Working: Locally

Focus of work: Encouraging individual and social behavioural change; particular communities

Sector: Health communication; private sector

Medium: Personal contact/interpersonal communication; community action; community radio

Communication emphasis: participatory approach; social mobilisation; interpersonal communication; evaluation methods

Since 1996, FUNAC has implemented this project targeting Black children 0-6 years of age in the municipalities of Alcantara and Viana, State of Maranhao. The project seeks to reduce feelings of racial inferiority, racial preferences, use of racial offenses, and reproduction of negative values at the family and community levels. The project uses three strategies: Training about youth culture, entertainment activities, and identity of Black children; Implementation of educational and informational activities about children's development along with the families of Black children; Training for dissemination of "brinqueidotecas" (festivals) and operation of community radio.

Brinqueidotecas are mobile so they can be taken to different places of the community. Brinqueidotecas are organised around two themes: House of Happiness and Beauty of Black Children. Through the use of entertainment activities factors such as self-esteem, creativity, humor, autonomy and ethnic-racial identity are stimulated. These activities promote reinforcement of Black identity through cultural values, cultural symbols, food habits, health habits, music, dance, theatre, aesthetics, spirituality, and language, common to the Black community.

The project works with existing community radios, or helps to establish them, to disseminate and socialise information about child development, resiliency, ethnic and racial identity of Black families, history and reality of Blacks, and Black culture. Audience groups are formed and encouraged to listen to programmes that have been produced at the national or local level for Black communities. FUNAC promotes brinqueidotecas through community radios to encourage participation of Black families. In addition, families are encouraged to start alternative projects such as production of black dolls.

Evaluation issues: Between 1996 and 2000 the project has attended 8.640 children. 112 families have participated in the brinqueidotecas; 49 adolescents and 20 mothers have been trained to act as facilitators. Evaluation methods have been primarily qualitative using a participatory approach during and after sessions, and since 1999 the project has monitored self-esteem levels among children. Results show that children, adolescents and families express solidarity, cooperation, and respect toward cultural, religious, health, and identity issues of Blacks. The community has become an active participant in the production of community radio programmes, and alternative projects such as the making of black dolls are sustainable. At the quantitative level, 54.08% of 129 children attended between December 1999 and March 2000 showed an increase in their levels of positive self-esteem.

3. Name of project: Project Gemini: An experience of participatory audiovisual and health communication with children

Geographical Spread: Developing countries, Cuba

Working: Nationally

Focus of work: Increasing awareness and understanding of health issues among the public; encouraging individual and social behavioural change

Sector: Education, selective focus on aspects of health

Medium: Television, personal contact

Communication emphasis: Participatory approaches; evaluation methods

Violence, sexism, alcohol consumption, smoking, and stereotypical characterisation of people and situations seem to prevail, not only in what is produced and disseminated but also in audience's preferences. There is an increasing need to provide people and children with tools to respond to these issues, particularly through media literacy programmes.

Project Gemini is a methodological approach that seeks to develop workshops in Education for Audiovisual Communication carried out with children aged 9-12 years. The purpose of the project is to introduce students to the world audiovisual creativity and to stimulate their critical capacity beyond the audiovisual phenomenon. The intention is to combine appropriation of audiovisual language with issues such as hygiene, environment, violence, alcohol use, smoking, sexism, and other topics that children identify in their own environment. Workshops are conducted with a focus in four specific objectives:

• To diagnose felt health needs and the demands in relation to audiovisual media in school-age groups.
• To promote active participation of these groups in the knowledge of audiovisual communication.
• To stimulate these groups to produce health messages in correspondence with their needs and the needs of the community.
• To evaluate results of these interventions at the community level.

These workshops are conducted through a participatory action-research methodology, which starts from children themselves identifying, prioritising and analysing specific problems.

The project includes four steps: assessment (identification of health and environmental issues that affect children), intervention (implementation of workshops with children, which include sensibilisation, specific training, and audiovisual production), evaluation (process, product, and cognitive, affective, and behavioral change), and training (community members are trained in this methodology so they can replicate the experience in their own communities).

Evaluation issues: Following is a summary of some of the results obtained during the creativity process of boys and girls in relation to the different audiovisual products they selected:

• Appropriation of the concept of health in a broader sense and reduction of children's vulnerability to non-healthy behaviors and life styles.
• Attitudes and skills are developed in relation to health issues and to issues of creativity, group cohesion, team work, and punctuality
• Children develop greater interest in audiovisual communication
• At the community level, the project stimulated greater horizontal communication among children

4. Name of project: Research in cultural perceptions and communicative practices in reproductive health by women in Quito's Mena del Hierro neighborhood

Geographical Spread: Developing countries, Ecuador

Working: Locally

Focus of work: Increasing awareness and understanding of health issues among the public; particular communities

Sector: Health promotion/education; public health

Medium: Personal contact, community action

Communication emphasis: Participatory approaches; needs assessment; promoting access.

The point of departure of this research project is the notion that the urban-marginal has become scenery for another development. This concept is drawn from the movement of rural populations to urban sectors to live in marginalised conditions. Thus, in the marginalised urban areas emerge a new human group with its own specificities, a group that have not been fully analysed by researchers.

Communication as a sense-making process provided a framework to approach people's relations with health, particularly in the area of reproductive health and maternal mortality.

Mena del Hierro, in Quito, Ecuador, is a neighborhood that mixes the urban and the rural in a context of poverty and marginalisation. It has a population of 6790, out of which 27.29%, that is 1853, are women in reproductive age.

This research included a survey to identify knowledge, attitudes, and practices, in-depth interviews, and a participatory research process. Paulo Freire's dialogical and participatory process (see, judge, act) was used to allow women to confront their own reality. Freire's methods seeks human participation: description of situation as an observer; analysis of situation and substitution of description for problematisation; and search for solutions.

Evaluation issues: Women identified two types of health activities. First, what they call self-care activities of formal health. Second, self-care activities of day-to-day health. Formal health is associated with visits to doctors, clinics and health facilities. However, day-to-day health activities, those undertaken by women on a daily basis through interpersonal communication or other forms of social relations, seem to play a greater role in women's lives.

Women see communication with doctors as very limited and report communication problems with health professionals. On the contrary, communication with peers and people in a variety of social contexts provide a more conducive communication scenario to talk about health issues.

Participants felt that mass media vehicles and messages do not respond to women´s realities and existing health communication programmes tend to be inaccesible to women. Participants believed that there is a tendency by the media to homogenize health information for women and called for greater recognition of diversity across cultural groups.

Women saw very little practicality in health messages and argued that they need more health messages that they can apply to their daily health reality.

5. Name of project: RIAS (Adolescence and Sexuality Intersectorial Network): Adolescents' Reproductive and Sexual Health in the Context of Local Development

Geographical Spread: Developing countries, Ecuador

Working: Locally

Focus of work: Increasing awareness and understanding of health issues among the public; particular communities; Organisations promoting sharing/networking

Sector: Health promotion/education; public health; government/ministries; private sector

Medium: Personal contact, community action; media

Communication emphasis: Participatory approaches; social mobilisation; advocacy

RIAS is an initiative of government and non-governmental organisations, public health services and adolescents created in 1999. It is coordinated and partially funded by Germany´s GTZ. The Municipality of Quito, the Ministry of Health, Foundation Jose Peralta, Youth Mediators Groups, and several NGOs participate in the project.

The main objective is to contribute to the improvement of health services in sexual and reproductive health that respond to the needs of adolescents. In its first phase, RIAS focuses in the southern area of Quito. Participating institutions are committed to a collective process in which complementarity turns into synergy using an interdisciplinary and inter-sectorial approach badly needed in adolescents' health.

Each participating institution brings into the project its experience both at the conceptual and operational levels. This experience is put to the service of the collective efforts of the network. Main areas of each collective project are: gender, violence, communication, research and youth participation.

Another pillar of RIAS is the full participation of adolescents in each and every step of the project. In this sense, the Youth Mediators Group of RIAS, 70 boys and girls, 13-20 years of age, work with their parents and adults toward a greater articulation capacity, negotiation and dialogue among youth and adults' cultures.

Evaluation issues: Evaluation is ongoing but the project, which will use an evaluation approach that will include full participation of adolescents, expects the following results:

• Strengthening and widening of the network,
• Improvement in sexual and reproductive health services for adolescents,
• Development of community services for education and prevention through community organisation processes,
• Design of communication strategies and products that promote education in sexual and reproductive health,
• Greater youth participation in these activities

Lessons learned from this project will be used in future debates about sexual education, sexual health services, and public policy for adolescents.

6. Name of project: Chat to the Park, Universidad Autónoma de Occidente, Bucaramanga, Colombia

Geographical Spread: Developing countries, Colombia

Working: Locally

Focus of work: Increasing awareness and understanding of health issues among the public; particular aspects of health

Sector: Health promotion/education; public health; academic/research institutions; private sector;

Medium: Personal contact/interpersonal and group communication;

Communication emphasis: Participatory approaches; social mobilisation; promoting access.

Chat to the Park is a project developed by professors and students in the programme of Social Communication at Universidad Autónoma de Bucaramanga, Colombia. The main objective of the project is to stimulate public debate and awareness of health-related issues (reproductive health, HIV/AIDS, health of senior populations, domestic violence, etc.) among different population groups and to incorporate key health issues into the public agenda.

Every school-week, professors and students analyse the key aspects of a particular health issue and prepare a discussion guide for each Sunday morning, when families and individuals gather in Bucarmanga's parks to participate in the very popular "ciclovias" (bike routes).

Once in the park, students introduce the health issue prepared throughout the week to a group of people, start open conversations and engage in discussions with different groups of people participating at the bike route. Students' mission is to stimulate discussion, but people are free to enter or exit the conversations at any time, strategy that led to the title of the project. After a certain period of time, students close a "chat" session and move on to another group to start another "chat" session. Throughout the "chat" session, students highlight key aspects of health issues discussed by participants and try to identify a take-home message emerging from the discussion.

Evaluation issues: Evaluation of Chat in the Park was primarily designed to provide feedback to each following session. In this sense, students provide a report about "chat" sessions they led, in which they identify problems, successes, and other key aspects that emerged during the sessions. These lessons are incorporated into the following session. Impact evaluation is not conducted, but it is expected that people will engage in similar discussions with families, friends and others.

7. Name of project: Radio announcers against AIDS

Geographical Spread: Developing countries, Brazil

Sector: Health promotion/education; health communication; entertainment;

Medium: Radio, music

Communication emphasis: advocacy; social mobilisation

Humor and popular culture in the promotion of Reproductive Health and STD/AIDS prevention – evaluating the experience of Ceará, Brazil

The Project "Radio Announcers Against AIDS" bets on the agility and democratic potential of radio and the charisma and intimacy the radio announcer has with his/her listeners, to promote reproductive health and prevent sexually transmitted diseases, in particular AIDS. Popular culture and humor are the main ingredients used to bring down the fatalistic and stereotyped stigma that is associated with the disease. The project sensitised, trained and monitored a group of 50 radio announcers in the State of Ceará, working from the premise that health communication must look for a language that is popular, honest, direct and interactive to face the lack of information, tensions and conflicts that are generated by questions related to gender, reproductive rights, sexuality, family planning and STD/AIDS prevention.

Objectives

• Reduce the incidence of infection by HIV/AIDS and other STDs in the State of Ceará.
• Improve the coverage and the quality of information disseminated on STD/AIDS and promote the reproductive health through a partnership with the radio media in Ceará.

Activities

• Creation, production and distribution of campaign pieces - mini-soap operas, rap, forró (NE Brazilian country music), parodies, popular poetry, and other spots - recorded in CD and cassette tapes to be transmitted by radio;
• Seminars and training sessions with radio announcers from the capital and the interior of Ceará (four seminars were organised in 1998/99 in Fortaleza, Sobral and Juazeiro do Norte);
• Production and distribution of informative newsletters sent at regular intervals to the "radio announcers network" with educative material about the themes of the Project.

Evaluation: An evaluative study is underway of the impact of the Project among the radio announcers and among their listeners.

8. STREET THEATER AGAINST AIDS – Change of Scene in Social Mobilization

Geographical Spread: Developing countries, Brazil

Working: Regionally

Focus of work: Increasing awareness and understanding of health issues among the public; encouraging individual and social behavioural change

Sector: Health promotion/education; health communication; entertainment

Medium: Radio, music

Communication emphasis: advocacy; social mobilisation

Confronting the advance of the HIV epidemic and other STDs, and seeking to face the spread of AIDS cases to the interior of Ceará State, educational activities have been developed since 1997 seeking to target the less socially and educationally privileged population, including the illiterate, with information that is correct, supportive and reassuring, through a form that is playful and attractive: Street Theater.

This work seeks to impact the two groups involved: 1) the population, informing them about one of the most serious health problems of our times, in a creative and fun way; 2) the artists, stimulating them to undertake social action with the less privileged part of the population, having such artists become engaged in an articulated, supportive, and rights-based militancy against an epidemic that has also severely affected the artistic population throughout the world.

The Street Theater Against AIDS Project has been active in Ceará since September 1997 and is coordinated by ISDS (Institute for Health and Social Development), an NGO, in partnership with governmental agencies. The project began with a Sensitisation Seminar on STD/AIDS for directors, actors and actresses participating in the Northeastern Theater Festival in Guaramiranga, Ceará, a municipality located 90km from the capital, Fortaleza. Since then, 20 theater groups from the capital and the interior have been monitored and trained as "information multipliers" about AIDS/STD and reproductive health with support from the State STD/AIDS Programme. Two statewide meetings (April and September 1998) have taken place, bringing together more than 150 directors, authors, actors, actresses and technical staff. Five new scripts have been written dealing with different aspects on themes related to sexuality and STD/AIDS. Three street plays productions have been put together ("Auto da Camisinha", "Pink Condom" and "Picture on the Wall"). More than 600 presentations have been made in at least 80 different municipalities of Ceara, reaching an estimated audience of 150,000 in public squares and fairs.

Among the products of this project are included: a book "TheaterXAIDS" and a documentary video entitled "Street Theater vs AIDS".

The Project first produced Jose Mapurunga's play “Auto da Camisinha” and in less than a year was able to involve 28 theater groups spread across the interior of the state. Support from other institutions (Secretariats of Culture and Health from several municipalities, for example), was small at the start but is becoming increasingly more present, making possible the continuation of the Project, even after the money donated by the State Secretariat of Health was exhausted. Another important partnership has been with the State Secretariat of Culture and Sports which shared the cost of 2 statewide seminars (April and September of 1998), of the 28 groups, for evaluation, retraining, technical-artistic improvement, and also new training seminars in STD/AIDS for the participants.

Some of the lessons learned, according to project coordinators, can be summarised in the following statement provided by the coordinator of the project:

The enthusiasm, the dedication, the contagious passion, the energies awoken and put into activity by the movement of "Theater against AIDS" show that the theater can turn the concepts stuck to the AIDS epidemic – this "apocalyptic monster", "the plague of the end of the millenium" - into a ridiculous, laughable scarecrow. AIDS brings back an authoritarian and castrating morale, that seemed buried since the 1960's. It brings panic to youth, blocked from releasing its desires and stigmatises its victms. It seems that this is still the predominant perception of AIDS, especially in the Northeast of Brazil, but not only by a conservative elite, but by most of the public. Thus arises the logic to use theater, more specifically, street comedy, the laugh, to overcome it. As a result, what one sees is a movement that, educating against AIDS, doesn't repress. To the contrary, it works in favor of the freedom of habits, as well as treating with affection and respect the sexual act, dealing with the theme in a "carnavalized" way.

9. Name of Project: Children, Clowning and Resilience, Chile

Geographical Spread: Developing countries, Chile

Working: Locally

Focus of work: Particular audiences; encouraging individual and social behavioural change

Sector: Health promotion/education; health communication; entertainment;

Medium: Popular entertainment (circus), live drama

Communication emphasis: Participatory approaches, social mobilisation

Circo del Mundo-Chile is headquartered in Santiago de Chile, Chile and carries out the project Children, Clowning and Resilience, whose main objective is to stimulate social and emotional development of poor children in urban settings through the use of entertainment activities. The project targets children 3-12 years old, in the cities of Iquique and Alto Hospicio, who attend 11 schools and 5 day care facilities.

The project includes clowning workshops in which circus-like techniques are used, interactive clowning, participation of parents and relatives in workshops and interactive clowning sessions, community festivals with presentations by participants in workshops, regional festivals of clowning, and community participation in each project activity.

An assessment conducted by the project in 2000 showed that 67% of children participating in the programme used violence as a resource in their relation with peers. This project draws upon humor to reduce the use of violence in conflict situations and to stimulate children's self-esteem, creativity, and autonomy to face daily life experiences.

At the evaluation level, the project has stimulated public debate about children's growth and development, particularly among professionals who work in this area. Evaluation of the programme is ongoing through a panel design that is analysing a sample of participants during two years.

10. Prevention of drug use and abuse through art: An educational model

Geographical Spread: Developing countries, Colombia

Working: Locally

Focus of work: Particular audiences; encouraging individual and social behavioural change

Sector: Health promotion/education; health communication; entertainment;

Medium: Popular entertainment, art, live drama, theater

Communication emphasis: Participatory approaches, social mobilisation

This project departs from the assumption that to reach young people, particularly those living in marginalised areas, it is neccesary to use a pedagogical strategy that is suitable to their own world. In this sense, this project utilises a medium that is flexible, emotional, creative, entertaining, based on lived experiences, expressive, non-dogmatic, which becomes a useful vehicle to carry out educational work with young people. Art is the human sphere that brings together these characteristics.

Young people in Atlantico State face a number of situations in their daily life, such as domestic violence, lack authority figures, lack of recreation facilities and opportunities, low self-esteem, which easily lead them to experimentation of alcohol and drug use. Thus, the project stimulates interaction between instructors and participants so that suggested behaviors for prevention are discussed and developed in an interactive way. Through art, the project seeks to counteract risk factors at the individual level, and then at family, social and cultural levels. Art facilitates free expression, creativity and identity.

The objective of the project is to prevent the use of sico-active substances among young people through strengthening of protecting factors such as definition of goals, self-esteem, identity development, communication skills, and development of creative skills using different forms of art.

Two sub-projects have been conducted as part of this programme. First, 'Art in the Neighborhood: Prevention of Drug Use through Art', which works with young people in marginalised neighbrohoods of Barranquilla, capital city of Atlantico and fourth largest city of Colombia. A number of these young people belong to displaced populations that have arrived in Barranquilla fleeing from violence in rural areas. Over 120 youngsters have participated in this programme over a two-year period, with funds from UNDP and the city government. Second, 'Young Atlantico: Prevention of Drug Use Among Young People in the Municipalities of Atlantico State'. Nearly 800 young people have participated in this programme over a six-year period, a project that has received support from the State government.

Activities: The project includes different art-related activities such as workshops in theater, dance, painting, music, as well as training in human development, income-generating activities, life skills and prevention of drug use. In addition to development of their own creativity and artistic expressions, participants are required to put together artistic expressions related to prevention of drug use. For instance, participants create a story related to drug use and prevention in which they draw primarily from their own experiences. The story is then dramtised and performed in public scenarios at the community level.

A key component of the project is the development of community organisation and participation activities. Participants are encouraged to organise themselves in youth groups so that at the end of the project each group can develop its own plan of action.

Evaluation: Evaluation of the project includes use of quantitaive and qualitaive techniques, all of them used before, during, and after the programme. A Test of Values is used to determine whether participants have internalised the set of values promoted throughout the project. A survey on drug use is used to establish drug use-related behaviors. Another survey is given to participants focusing on the artistic aspects of the project. Parents are also surveyed with a focus on how parents perceived behavior changes in their children. Finally, in-depth interviews are conducted to gain deeper insights of participants' experience in the project.

Results

• Greater understanding of promoted values.
• Comprensión and internalisation of solidarity, as a value, went from 60% to 90%, respect from 62% to 93%, sense of belonging from 42 to 90%.
• Nearly 95% of participants said they would be willing to continue their work as part of their youth organisation.
• There was a reported decrease in drug use from 25% to 7%.
• Parents reported a great level of satisfaction with the project, particularly with the adequate use of leisure time of their children.
