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 Please let me know if you have or know of any information (published or unpublished) that supports or doesn't support the use of health fairs and displays as a tool for behaviour change.
