This document outlines a study conducted to develop effective health messages for rural, low-income families. Researchers interviewed over 90 mothers to understand their health literacy, sense of control over health decisions, and preferences for receiving information. Based on the findings, researchers created a template for developing culturally-appropriate, easy to understand health messages. The template emphasizes showing empathy, providing simple steps or stories, highlighting positive outcomes, and citing authority figures. The document provides examples of messages developed on dental health, physical activity, and food security using this template. Participants at an event will use the template to create their own health messages to take away.

It all started in 2014 with our very first sale. Since that day, and every time a pink maharani shawl adorns your shoulders, you support this project and one adolescent girl from India is provided with knowledge to understand and tools to deal with her menstrual cycle. Our approach is holistic as we put the emphasis not only on the education and the use of hygiene products, but also on the awareness of this still wide spread taboo topic. We are very proud to know from the 2018 Sukhibhava Report that we have covered over 516 adolescent girls and our partnership with Sukhibhava keeps expanding!

Interviewee 1: My improved health is a direct result of my growing appreciation for and awareness of the intricate workings of my body.
The strong belief that following the female body clock will benefit the body
Interviewee 1: I feel that the person does not exactly know what the biological clock means. I, therefore, pity them.
emotional
helpless
pity
incomprehensible
Interviewee 1: The variability in fertility occurs over a person's lifetime and may be tracked by that person's biological clock. Because of this, I now better understand the optimal timing to have a family.
Uncertainty about fertility
Glad to follow the biological clock
Proving the benefits of following the biological clock in another way
Interviewee 1: I got the idea in high school. My mother often told me that women need to do the right things at the right time, 22 is the best age to have children, and the timing is very ripe. Women can still have a lot of time to pursue their dream careers after giving birth. Even though most women around me chose to start working, I think my mother was right.
Influenced by mother's thoughts
Very trust mother
Interviewee 1: I don't think it would be a good idea to focus on my profession throughout my childbearing years. I think we can move on to the next question.
Uncertainly
Avoiding answer
Sensitive
Interviewee 1: I have never regretted it because I have already seen the health benefits that come with it. (pause) But sometimes I wonder if I didn't follow the female biological clock and continued to finish college and get into work, would I be more integrated with my friends? (laughs)
very firm, no regrets
another possibility
Desire to connect with friends around
Interviewee 1: I would advise them to follow this and avoid rushing when it is too late. (laughs)
Encourage follow female biological clock
Interviewee 2: As many women reach the peak of their reproductive years, they tend to feel pressured to get pregnant. I was aware that fertility begins to decline for many women once they approach their mid thirty's. It motivated me to plan my pregnancy at the right age.
Feel pressured at mid thirty
Acknowledgment of fertility decline
Encourage females to plan pregnancy at the right age
Interviewee 2: It is crucial for women, especially those in their early twenties, to understand the benefits of getting pregnant at their most fertile age when they are not exposed to risks. I always try to teach people, especially ladies my age, to embrace following the biological clock for their benefit.
Crucial to know the benefits of the biological clock
No risks
Teach other females to follow the biological clock
Interviewee 2: As people become older, their bodies naturally generate fewer eggs and sperm, and those produced are lower quality.
Tell the risks and truths of the biological aspect
Interviewee 2: I embraced this idea after learning the importance of following the biological clock in a specific family.

Health education is an important component of community health nursing and every health care provider need to know about health education. how they educate the individuals, families and communities.
health education is included in nursing and all allied health education services and disciplines.
All health care providers including doctors, nurses, paramedics and others health care providers also know about the aims, objectives & purposes, methods and models of health education.
It is most important principle of health education . If the health education topic is of no interest to the people , they will not listen to it. The health educator should identify the “felt needs” of the people , i.e. those needs the people feel for themselves and the prepare a programme that they can actively participate in to make it successful .

DENTAL HEALTH MESSAGE
FINAL MESSAGE #2
I have two kids and I am always busy and pinched for money! I want my children to be healthy. I
don’t want my kids to have cavities like I did. Our dentist told me that my kids might get cavities
if they don’t drink water with fluoride and use toothpaste with fluoride. Because our rural water
doesn’t have fluoride, I’ve been buying bottled water and toothpaste with fluoride added to
prevent cavities.
Empathetic about their busy life

12. A PHYSICAL ACTIVITY MESSAGE
FINAL MESSAGE #2
My doctor told me to be more active. He said it is okay to break the activity into small amounts
at a time, like walking to the street to get the mail or parking a distance away from the store and
walking. I have learned to use the time I am being active to be with my kids. They have a lot of
energy so going with them is a good way for all of us to be active and spend time together. Now
I feel calmer and it’s easier to deal with my kids, too.
Empathetic about their busy life

FINAL MESSAGE #3
Let me tell you about Maria/Mary. She is a busy mom of three. She’s always pinched for money
for food. A local health educator recommended that she keep a grocery list throughout the
week or month leading to a trip to the store to save time and so she doesn’t buy what she
doesn’t need.

Editor's Notes
To reduce health disparities and improve health and well-being of rural, low-income families and the communities in which they live
Core health messages were developed using health findings from
Rural Families Speak (RFS)
Rural Families Speak about Health (RFSH)
Provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordability Act 2010
Individuals can take control of their health if they can get, understand, and use health information to make decisions and take action.
This is an example of a dental health message that was created using the template. You will see that most of the contents of the message have been captured in the final message.
Here we are sharing with you an example of physical activity message that was created using the template. The template helps you create messages in different domains like dental health, physical activity, and food security to name a few.
Here we are sharing with you an example of a food security message that was created using the template. You will notice that to in order to create the final message it is important to first think about the components of each message. The template helps you to focus on those components that will lead you to create a final story or a message. This message is in the form of a story.
