Description
1. INTRODUCTION "Entertainment-Education" is a promising strategy for improving health in many countries. This approach relies on specially crafted media messages to entertain and to educate audiences about an educational issue, to create favorable attitude and to change behavior. Radio and television soap operas, popular music, street theater and comic books have all been used to educate the public about such health issues as family planning, HIV/ AIDS prevention, environmental health, female equality, improved sanitation, female genital mutilation (Singhal, Arvind and Rogers, Everett M. 1999).
