Community Health Information Cards: Taking Action for our Health
This set of behavior change communication cards was developed for use by community health workers in educating clients about family planning, danger signs in pregnancy, the “three delays” and information on comprehensive postabortion care. The cards can be used to generate community dialogue and increase knowledge of family planning and postabortion care, while encouraging positive health-seeking behavior. (These cards were adapted from the Health Communication Partnership, Zambia, and were developed in close partnership with the Kenya Ministry of Health and the Division of Reproductive Health.)
