Survey data were collected, analyzed then verified by observation and focus groups conducted in each community.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Results Most people (78.7 per cent) receive health information everyday. The internet was an information source used frequently by those respondents less than 35 years of age (45.5 per cent). Health information was received by mobile telephone message, wireless systems and satellite televisions mostly by people less than 35 or 35\u201444 years old (33.3 and 38.1 per cent respectively). Receipt of health information from television, newspaper and radio was most common in the 35\u201444 and 45\u201454 year age groups (29.9 and 30.1 per cent). Distributed or central loudspeaker systems were cited as a source most often by people in the 45\u201454 year age group (36.0 per cent).<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Conclusion Findings lead to recommend coordination of health communications, using the internet for health information, preparing for coordination of messages on wireless systems and other new technologies for people in rapidly developing countries. Common communication channels are still useful especially in rural areas. Various interest groups should participate in developing their own models of communication, management, and evaluation for strengthening health development.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0017896907076755","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,5,23]],"date-time":"2007-05-23T18:44:29Z","timestamp":1179945869000},"page":"173-178","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Management of communication channels for health information in the community"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"66","author":[{"given":"Vasuton","family":"Tanvatanakul","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Ci\u00eancias Biom\u00e9dicas Abel Salazar (ICBAS), University of Porto, Portugal, , Faculty of Public Health, Burapha University, Thailand"}]},{"given":"Joao","family":"Amado","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Ci\u00eancias Biom\u00e9dicas Abel Salazar (ICBAS), University of Porto, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Sastri","family":"Saowakontha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Public Health, Burapha University, Thailand"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,6,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"atypb1","first-page":"CD001006","volume":"2","author":"Sowden AJ","year":"2000","journal-title":"Cochrane Database Syst Rev"},{"key":"atypb2","first-page":"65","volume":"155","author":"McCallum DB","year":"1995","journal-title":"NIDA Res Monogr"},{"key":"atypb3","volume-title":"Communication and Community Development for Health Information: Constructs and Models for Evaluation","author":"Bowes JE","year":"1997"},{"issue":"3","key":"atypb4","first-page":"112","volume":"94","author":"Singh T.","year":"1996","journal-title":"J Indian Med Assoc"},{"key":"atypb5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0749-3797(98)00079-8"},{"key":"atypb6","first-page":"CD001291","volume":"2","author":"Sowden A.","year":"2000","journal-title":"Cochrane Database Syst Rev"},{"key":"atypb7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1360-0443.1993.tb02116.x"},{"key":"atypb8","first-page":"1","volume":"79","author":"Hornik R.","year":"1992","journal-title":"Dev Commun Rep"},{"issue":"1","key":"atypb9","first-page":"49","volume":"23","author":"Miller MC","year":"1980","journal-title":"Int J Health Educ"},{"issue":"1","key":"atypb10","first-page":"30","volume":"18","author":"Kannapiran C.","year":"1992","journal-title":"Health Millions"},{"key":"atypb11","volume-title":"The Impact of Health Reform on Rural Areas","author":"US Congress, Office of Technology Assessment.","year":"1996"},{"key":"atypb12","volume-title":"Through the Net: A Survey of the `Have Nots","author":"US Congress, National Technology","year":"1995"},{"issue":"3","key":"atypb13","first-page":"17","volume":"11","author":"Dhillon HS","year":"1992","journal-title":"Hygie"},{"key":"atypb14","volume-title":"Thailand Health Profile 2001\u20142004","author":"Wibulpolprasert S","year":"2005"},{"issue":"3","key":"atypb15","first-page":"622","volume":"29","author":"Rakue Y.","year":"1998","journal-title":"Southeast Asian J Trop Med Public Health"},{"key":"atypb16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.328.7431.103"},{"key":"atypb17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/109019818200900402"},{"key":"atypb18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/109019818401100101"},{"key":"atypb19","volume-title":"Community Health Education: Settings, Roles, and Skills for the 21st Century","author":"Breckon D.","year":"1994"},{"key":"atypb20","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/108107398127517"},{"issue":"2","key":"atypb21","first-page":"128","volume":"86","author":"Kishchuk N.","year":"1995","journal-title":"Can J Public Health"}],"container-title":["Health Education Journal"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/0017896907076755","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/0017896907076755","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,29]],"date-time":"2026-04-29T07:37:22Z","timestamp":1777448242000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/0017896907076755"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2007,6]]},"references-count":21,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2007,6]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1177\/0017896907076755"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/0017896907076755","relation":{},"ISSN":["0017-8969","1748-8176"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0017-8969","type":"print"},{"value":"1748-8176","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2007,6]]}}}
