Hello,

     I am very interested in this communication tool.  I have been given
     the task of recommending options for the development, printing and
     distribution of educational print resources.  I will not be working in
     isolation but in partnerships with the regional health authorities,
     however, I would like to be aware of innovative alternatives to
     traditional print resources.

      New Brunswick has started to use the internet to offer health
     education information to the public and providers.  The user will
     download information pertinent to their needs.  Does anyone have
     further knowledge of similar projects, using the internet?  Any
     research to date on effectiveness, audience and costs?

      I also recognise that the target groups do not all have access  to
     internet, any suggestions for illiterate, foreign languages and
     adolescent populations, who do not read brochures.  We are open to new
     ideas.  Thank you for your time.
