Therefore, health extension workers should visit all homes in their communities
regularly. Home visits become convenient if we design our own family health
education folder for use.
What information should be in the folder and kept up to date?
1. The family name.
2. The address and location of the house
3. The date of the visit.
4. The name and ages of all members of the house hold. (Be sensitive to local
customs about collecting such information).
5. Health problems.
6. Information discussed.
7. Ideas offered.
8. Agreements reached.
9. What you agreed to do.
10. Date of next visit.
2. Group Educational Methods
It is needless to mention that much of the problem solving in the community has
to be done by group work and cannot be attempted at individual level alone.
Specifically, working with groups is a major activity in health education.
When people get together to identify, define, and solve a problem, they have
many more resources than when they work individually.
