Steps
in Developing Health Communication Campaigns
Health communication
activities are often integrated into a comprehensive communication
campaign, a goal-oriented attempt to inform, persuade or motivate
behaviour change in a large, well-defined audience (The Health
Communication Unit, 1999). The Health Communication Unit (THCU),
one of the health promotion resource centres funded by the Ontario
Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, has produced a twelve-step
process for developing health communication campaigns.
For a more
detailed description of this process, you can refer to the THCU
workbook on health communication campaigns at http://www.thcu.ca/infoandresources/health_communication.htm#intro
