| Research Abstract |
1) Assistance of communication by the use of computer (1) Face graph : We intended to use face graph as an aid for health information and education activities, and developed a simple face drawing system for lap-top microcomputers. (2) ISM method : The Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) was applied to visualize the actual pattern of health related behaviors.
2) Improvement of methods for the practical use in the public health activity : In order to draw face by hand, we designed a special sheet, by which community people as well as the community health personnel can draw a face from a personal laboratory data under the guidance of additional lines. We also designed a special sets of cards for the ISM.
3) Setting of the educative environment : In order to facilitate face-to-face communication in the actual setting of public health activity, we have to overcome the communication gaps between the health care providers and community people. Therefore, both of providers and people should use the newly developed methods in the better educative environments. Two case studies revealed the following two points, (1) free choice of methods and (2) use of methods in the group based educating/counseling sessions, for the environment.
