Description of Resource: 
Based on strong evidence of effectiveness for producing intended behavior changes, health communication campaigns that use multiple channels, one of which must be mass media, combined with the distribution of free or reduced-price health-related products (defined above), are recommended. Health communication campaigns apply integrated strategies to deliver messages designed, directly or indirectly, to influence health behaviors of target audiences. Messages are communicated through various channels that can be categorized as: mass media (e.g., television, radio, billboards); small media (e.g., brochures, posters); social media (e.g., Facebook©, Twitter©, web logs); interpersonal communication (e.g., one-on-one or group education).
