Radio and HIV/AIDS: Making a Difference [Handbook]

This handbook contains practical guidelines for planning, researching, designing, producing and evaluating HIV/AIDS programs on the radio. Its focus is on the practical issues and approaches involved but does not attempt to cover the technicalities of radio production. This handbook may be of interest to:

  • Radio practitioners (managers, editors, reporters and producers), involved at present or in the future in HIV/AIDS and other health media campaigns
  • Journalists involved in covering HIV/AIDS related issues
  • Managers and communications personnel in HIV/AIDS organisations, Non-Government Organizations (NGOs) and government departments
  • Aid agencies funding health projects and/or development communications projects

The handbook contains chapters on: research, selecting issues, program formats, making radio interactive, pretesting, scheduling, campaign planning, partnerships, monitoring and evaluation, training and sustainability. This handbook has been used widely as the standard guidelines by UNAIDS offices since 1999. The authors have anecdotal evidence of hundreds of health communication professions over the past 14 years who have used it and found it extremely useful and relevant.

        Youth Outcome Toolkit

        Building upon a five-year evaluation of the After-School Initiative funded by The Colorado Trust, and evaluations of other youth-serving programs, the National Research Center, Inc created the Youth Outcome Toolkit as a comprehensive evaluation resource for programs serving youth. The Toolkit contains a menu of youth survey questions encompassing nine broad outcome areas: Academic Success; Arts and Culture, Community Involvement, Core Values, Cultural Responsiveness, Healthy Lifestyles, Life Skills, Positive Life Choices, and Sense of Self as well as questions related to program quality. This Toolkit contains multiple versions of youth outcome survey templates to accommodate Spanish-speaking youth, high and low literacy youth, and various stakeholder groups (parents, staff and teachers).

        The Toolkit also provides surveys for two different study designs (“post-only” or “pre-post”). In addition, the Toolkit offers programs step-by-step directions for designing an outcomes evaluation; including design, administration and data analysis. Access to a normative database also allows programs to compare their responses to a diverse sample of more than 3,000 youth. Surveys available in both Spanish and English, and Pre-Post and Post-Only versions. This toolkit is available free of charge if the data accumulated is shared with data shared with National Research Center in Boulder, Colorado (Contact: Sonya Wytinck; National Research Center Inc.; 3005 30th Street; Boulder, CO., 80301.
