Subject: Effectiveness of health fairs/displays in
changing behaviours
Hi Everyone,
I am looking for research, information, etc. on the
effectiveness of health
fairs and displays in supporting or creating behaviour
change. I have found
some research, mostly from the mid-80's, mostly focussing on
awareness
raising , and mostly American. Don't get me wrong...I have
no problems with
American research, it just seems that health screening
(blood pressure,
glucose, cholesterol, etc.) are a large component of
American health fairs,
whereas I don't believe this is the case in Canada.
Please let me know if you have or know of any information
(published or
unpublished) that supports or doesn't support the use of
health fairs and
displays as a tool for behaviour change.
Thanks for your help!
