Involvement for learning in health programs.
Health educators are often required to transfer information, influence attitudes and change behavioral patterns. Whether communicating with an individual or a group, it is important to involve the participant in the educational process. Careful analyses of the goals to be accomplished and the techniques used in the educational process will result in significantly improved communications. Strategies are suggested which have been used successfully to break away from the mold which tends to guarantee passive participation on the part of the learner.
