Village Health Care Training Text Publication:
A text for the teaching of village based health care and life quality has been published in English. ASHA is funding additional publication in Hindi to allow use in tribal areas of north India. The text will act as a training resource for those who work with village women in health care areas. Information is applicable to remote tribal areas. In addition to cost per book, baseline knowledge will be measured and after text use again measured. The knowledge increase due to book use will determine project effectiveness. Book’s advantages are:
Provides infield discussion framework for the educator
Provides graphics for village demonstration
Recommends locally available materials for demonstration
Identifies current dangerous practices with alternatives
All health and social issues are context sensitive to village environment
