Source Communications Initiative
New online resource for health communication practitioners
Peer review of experiences and ideas is crucial for supporting and improving communication actions. Health e Communication (http://www.comminit.com/healthecomm/) now provides easy access to a growing collection of case studies, planning models, research and evaluation documents, and lectures and speeches submitted and peer reviewed by health communication practitioners around the world. The virtual process aims to build a practitioner and policy maker perspective on the most valuable ideas and information that support health and development communication work.
Health e Communication allows people to:
- submit the resources they find most useful;
- assess the resources others have submitted;
- share ideas on what works and why; and
- generate an evolving collective perspective around resources, approaches, and trends in Health Communication
Health e Communication provides reference tools such as the Top 10's page, which lists the top ten resources rated for their usefulness and impact by health practitioners, and Quick Lists, which provides quick cross referencing between core health and development issues. Documents are organized around four major areas: (1) Case Studies & Experiences; (2) Planning & Thinking; (3) Research & Evaluation; and (4) Lectures & Speeches. Visitors to the site are encouraged to submit resources and participate in occasional opinion polls and discussion forums.
Health e Communication was developed by the Health Communication Partnership (HCP) and The Communication Initiative. It is based on the advice and comments of a world wide group of health communication practitioners who provided essential input during its pilot phase. HCP is supported by the U.S. Agency for International Development, and includes Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health/Center for Communication Programs, the Academy for Educational Development, Save the Children, The International HIV/AIDS Alliance and Tulane University's School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine.

New Report: Assessing Hygiene Improvement - Guidelines for Household and Community Levels
EHP is pleased to announce the publication of a new report: "Assessing Hygiene Improvement - Guidelines for Household and Community Levels."
Hygiene Improvement is a comprehensive approach to prevent childhood diarrhea through a combination of three elements: improving access to water and sanitation hardware and household technologies; promoting hygiene; and strengthening the enabling environment to ensure the sustainability of hygiene improvement activities.
The report, "Assessing Hygiene Improvement - Guidelines for Household and Community Levels," provides current information about indicators and data collection instruments necessary to evaluate water supply, sanitation, and hygiene interventions. The Guidelines describe 66 indicators and propose approximately 360 model survey questions for measuring hygiene improvement comprehensively at the household and community levels, and at institutions such as schools and health facilities.
The purpose of the Guidelines is to help program planners and managers design, implement and evaluate water supply, sanitation, and hygiene interventions.
The Guidelines will help users, for example, conduct a situation analysis and needs assessment, develop a performance monitoring plan with indicators and data collection instruments, or establish a baseline for current hygiene practices and develop a behavior change and communications strategy. These guidelines and instruments are not intended as blueprints, but rather as a menu to choose from and adapt according to the field context and user's needs.
The Guidelines are available in three formats:
For a hard copy, or an interactive, hyperlinked, Microsoft Word format on a CD-ROM, email:

I can send you a longer outline introducing Gede Foundation.
