Update #73: April 15, 2005 CONTENTS
HCP Introduces New E-Forum for Country-based Partners BALTIMORE - The Health Communication Partnership (HCP) has launched a new interactive E-Forum based on HCP's Partners in Action, a series of case studies about HCP's country-based partners. Partners in Action documents how those partners became successful and sustainable organizations, as well as the role that health communication played in their success. Those interested in participating in this new electronic community can log on through HCP's website or visit http://www.hcpartnership.org/pia/blog/. Participants can comment on the case studies, suggest ideas for the organization or additional case studies, or provide general feedback about the site and series. The E-Forum's first case study is the Turkish Family Health and Planning Foundation (TAPF). Written by TAPF's executive director Yasar Yaser, this case study offers lessons, inspiration, and ideas for other organizations. TAPF's success is notable because it began promoting family planning and reproductive health in the 1980s in largely Muslim Turkey when such issues were considered taboo. In the next few weeks, the E-Forum will invite participants to comment on a new case study focusing on Peru's Movimiento Manual Ramos, an organization that advocates for women's rights and gender equity. Supported by the U.S. Agency for International Development, HCP is a global communication initiative based at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health's Center for Communication Programs in partnership with the Academy for Educational Development, Save the Children, the International HIV/AIDS Alliance, and Tulane University's School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine. To access the new E-Forum or to find out more about HCP, please visit www.hcpartnership.org. For more information about the E-Forum or the Partners in Action series, contact Juan Carlos Negrette at . New Resource: CDCynergy CDCynergy is a multimedia CD-ROM used for planning, managing, and evaluating public health communication programmes. Originally created for use within the CDC, the idea of an institution-wide planning model found its way outside of the agency. CDCynergy has been adapted for use by public health professionals on a national, state, and/or local level. Course Announcement: Behaviour Change Communication (BCC) in Health, Reproductive Health (RH) and Adolescents' Reproductive Health (ARH) May 24 - Jun 10 2005 WHO Publication: Information, Education and Communication: Lessons from the past; perspectives for the future This paper was commissioned by the Department of Reproductive Health and Research at the World Health Organization to examine lessons learned from more than two decades of experience in applying information, education and communication (IEC)a interventions in support of public health. It represents an attempt to gather and synthesize experiences in IEC for public health, and to succinctly analyse and share these experiences so that IEC can be effectively integrated into, and support, improved reproductive health programmes and service delivery. This effort is intended to serve as an orientation, or a 'tour d'horizon', to future IEC work as educators, practitioners, policy-makers and communication specialists in all aspects of public health strive to build upon past experience in enabling people to effect more healthful behaviours.
