Segments of the African American population have not been adequately reached by efforts to prevent a range of health and social problems. As a result, African Americans have been disproportionately affected by the consequences of these problems. Channing Bete Company is here to help your targeted awareness and prevention efforts turn the tide with a new line of culturally competent education tools.
True cultural competence
When targeting a very specific group in your awareness and prevention programs,
acknowledging its unique history, common experiences, shared cultural values,
and visual preferences will make your audience much more receptive to the messages
you're sending.
Our African American series of full-color, photographically illustrated folders
is designed to provide awareness and prevention messages in a culturally competent
manner that goes beyond just graphics.
Audience tested, audience approved
We incorporated target-audience-member feedback on the layout, design elements,
and text approach. Plus, the format was tested with prevention program staff
members and reviewed by experts on delivering culturally competent messages
to African American populations. All the titles in this series offer:
- clear, accessible text for a wide range of reading abilities
- personal stories that present information in a conversational, peer-to-peer
manner
and reinforce the main content of the folder
- attractive pricing and generous quantity discounts.
Make your materials work harder!
You can personalize your folders with your organization's imprint or other
information on the front and back covers.
