[afro-nets] C-Channel e-newsletter - February 2009

Dear Colleagues,

C-Channel, the monthly e-newsletter from the C-Change program, provides peer-reviewed literature on behavior and social change communication in the health sector to connect you with state-of-the-art research findings that may be useful in your work.

In C-Channel 6, eleven peer-reviewed articles on behavior and social change communication are summarized: three on HIV and AIDS, three on family planning and reproductive health, three on malaria, and two on other topics, which this month feature research on sexual risk behaviors. Articles cover research carried out in Laos, sub-Saharan Africa, Burkina Faso, Nigeria, Tajikistan, Russia, Turkey, Peru, Slovakia, and the urban United States.

C-Change is implementing a program in Lesotho on HIV prevention that addresses the practice of multiple concurrent partners, a major driver of the HIV epidemic there and a sexual risk behavior. C-Change has partnered with regional organizations to support a mass media campaign called 'One Love' that focuses on reducing the occurrence of multiple and concurrent partnerships. Additional information is available at the program's website: www.c-changeprogram.org.

Thank you,
The Knowledge Management Team at C-Change
