1.  Title: Uganda communication campaigns spur integrated health programs. Author: Johns Hopkins School of Public Health. Center for Communication Programs.

Abstract: The Delivery of Improved Services for Health (DISH) Project, in partnership with the Uganda Ministry of Health and the District Health Services of the participating districts, has launched a series of multimedia campaigns on various reproductive, maternal and child health topics. The campaigns direct potential clients to health facilities for information and services and encourage improved individual health attitudes and behavior. The campaigns were designed to be implemented in three stages: promoting existing Family Planning services and addressing HIV/AIDS prevention; focusing on STDs and maternal health services, to coincide with training activities to enhance the provision of these services; and promoting HIV testing and counseling services as they became more widely available. Overall, evaluation of the impact of the campaign on care seeking for different services found that the project is helping to make family health easier for the people of Uganda.
