Methods of health education

There are two different ways to put across health messages.

 Direct person-to-person method

where individual, the health educator,

are the principal communicator.

 Indirect method, in which your role is

to convey to your local audience health

messages that originate

elsewhere, for example radio and

television programmes.

This classification into two groups is very general, and there is often

overlap. e.g. Posters
