Target Audience and Educational Material
How you develop the actual educational curriculum will depend on the target audience as well as the health topic. In addition, other criteria such as severe time or budget constraints may also affect what educational material is produced.
Once you have determined your target audience, you will need to search for resources that will assist you in delivering meaningful information to that population.
The chart below lists some sources to aid in the creation of health education material for specific populations as well as tools to assess the materials you develop. Detailed descriptions of each resource are available by clicking the name of the resource in the Detailed Web Site Descriptions section following the chart or by clicking the Next navigation button.
