This article describes the development of a radionovela aimed at informing the community about the importance of preventive health care, following the Sabido Method. The methodology used in developing a radionovela may be of interest to other public health practitioners looking to create engaging educational materials, especially for communities that rely on oral information.
Mixtecs and Zapotecs, originating from the Oaxaca area in Mexico, are among the largest indigenous groups of workers in California. Many adults in this community only access the health care system when sick and as a last resort. This article describes the development of a radionovela to inform the community about the importance of preventive health care. It was developed following the Sabido Method. The methodology to develop a radionovela may be of interest to other public health practitioners who want to develop educational materials in an engaging format, especially for communities that rely on oral, not written information.
