Lisa,
HI, I may need to know more about your project to be of help, but the last
2 years I worked with a LHA project in DC, so I know a good bit about it. I
don't have my files in front of me, but there are some really good articles
on LHA that are recent (I will dig through my file when I get home and send
the info. to you). We actually ended up combining LHA, with principles from
train the trainer and adult education (Freire's model). One thing that is
often tricky with LHA is that ideally the people you are training are
already people that are turned to by the community when people want
information and help....but what you usually end up with is people who
self-select to be trained (some who may need help themselves) and so you end
up having to give them more outreach skills so that they can reach out to
people (instead of people reaching for them which is what the model is
actually designed on). Retention is often tricky (we used volunteers, as
well). When there are not monetary incentives, there need to be other
incentives (bonding with other people, recognition in the community,
continued education, etc.), and ideally they should be involved in the
process of recruiting and training other LHA...so they begin to have a sense
of ownership over the project. This will ultimately help with sustainability
as well.
I would love to hear more about how they are trying to improve the health of
children...through education of parents? through working directly with the
children?
I'll get those article names for you.
Good luck,
Lisa Blosser, MPH

** The University of Alabama Distance Education ** Master of Arts Program in

Hey Fellow Health Ed folks,
I'm working with a group in Sacramento that has been attempting a LHA model
for the past two year. The group started at 8 now down to 4 had about 20
hours of initial training, work in apartment buildings and are volunteer.
The agency wants to look at other models to see if they can improve
retention and impact. Does anyone have suggestions for folks I could talk
to about volunteer or stipended LHAs? Any suggestions for recent (after
1997) literture on LHA's that I should be looking at. These LHA's are
supposed to be working on improving the health of children 0-8.
Thanks for your help.

Subject: your ideas for health communication texts
** The University of Alabama Distance Education
** Master of Arts Program in Health Studies
** http:// www.ches.ua.edu/health
**
Some people asked me to share the information I received about texts for
health communication and social marketing. I have listed the responses
below. Thank you everyone! Have a wonderul spring and a better summer!
Billie
We used "designing Health Messages" by Maiback and Parrot, Sage
Publishing.
I don't use a text but create a reading packet that draws from:
1. Designing Health Messages: approaches from communication theory and
public health practice. Maibach and Parrott eds.
2. Public Communication Campaigns. Rice and Atkins, eds.
3. Health Behavior and Health Education: Theory , research and practice.
Glanz, Lewis, Rimer eds.
4. Using Communication theory: An introduction to planned communication.
Windahl, Signitzer, Olson, eds.
5. Marketing Social Change: Changing behavior to promote health, social
development and the environment. Andreasen.
6. Making Health Communication Programs Work: a planners guide (NCI,
internert)
The only undergrad Health Communications text I am aware of is: Designing
Health Messages, Sage Publishing
Hands-On Social Marketing by Nedra Kline
Weinreich could be a good choice for undergraduates.
For a good conceptual introduction to social marketing, I would recommend
Alan Andreasen's "Marketing Social Change" (Jossey-Bass). It may be better
for grad students than undergrads, although it's a fairly easy read. My
book "Hands-On Social Marketing: A Step-by-Step Guide" (Sage Publications,
1999) is geared toward people who are planning and implementing a social
marketing program. It's very practical, with worksheets, charts and how-to
instructions, and less theoretical than Andreasen's book. It depends on
what you want the students to get out of the text.
I am not a professor and therefore not teaching undergrads, but my "text"
for my health communications course was Making Health Communication Programs
Work, A Planner's Guide. This was printed in April 1989, so it is slightly
outdated, but there might be an updated version available. It was NIH
Publication No. 89-1493. I hope that this can point you in the right
direction.
Sorry, I forgot that we also used Beyond the Brochure: Alternative
Approaches to Effective Health Communication. c. 1994, prepared by AMC
Cancer Research Center in cooperation with CDC
Hello,
I am a Communication major with an emphasis in Health Comm. One book that we
have used is "Predicting Health Behaviour". It'd edited by Mark Conner and
Paul Norman. It is a little advanced, but it goes over many Social Cognition
models and scales and discusses various theories such as the The Theory of
Reasoned Action and Planned Behavior, Health Locus of Control, and the
Protection Motivation Theory. Hope this helps!

Greetings from your co-coordinators of the 2001 ACHA Resource Room! The
Resource Room is your site to gather good stuff and share your materials,
strategies, and experiences with colleagues.
If you are interested in putting items in the Resource Room you need to know
the following:
1. What to bring: You name it! Newsletters, posters, fliers,
brochures, pens/pencils, pamphlets, handouts, bookmarks, key chains, cups,
buttons, frisbees, safer sex or cold care kits, newspaper inserts, etc. -
enough for the taking. You may also wish to bring t-shirts, videos,
CD-Roms, photo albums and program manuals labeled FOR DISPLAY ONLY.
2. Security: The Resource Room is also going to be a place
where people can hang out and network and such, so people will be wandering
through. The room may not always be staffed. In fact, it will probably be
unstaffed most of the time. So don't bring anything so valuable or one of a
kind that it will break your heart and ruin your life if it walks away.
(Unfortunately, this sometimes happens, even to materials marked "for
display only".) You may also want to be there in person during times you
want to demo or display something particularly precious, like a computer
program (NB: BYOL-Bring Your Own Laptop.)
3. Quantity: Don't be shy about bringing a big stack of
whatever you're most proud of. The more innovative and timely your
materials are, the more they will be in demand. This is not to discourage
folks from bringing "less sexy" stuff. Tried and True is good.
4. Check back often: Conference attendees don't all show up on
day 1, so keep checking the room for new additions, as well as copies of
leftover materials from the scheduled presentations.
5. Getting your materials there: You are, of course, free to
haul all your goodies with you. You may also ship your materials to the
ACHA office so they arrive NO LATER May 14,2001; or you may ship them to
the hotel with "ACHA RESOURCE ROOM" on the outside of the package. If you
ship to the hotel, you can send out anytime up till May 25th; if it's any
later, you're better off carrying it yourself.
Please clearly label materials "ACHA RESOURCE ROOM"

Judy,
If you would, please mail the catalogs to the hotel and we will make sure
they are displayed in the Resource Room. I'd love to get the poster, and am
interested in the raffle suggestion. If we get more offers, maybe we can
set up several drawings. What a great idea!
