Other ways to capture large numbers and deliver relevant information is to include public restrooms, over urinals and on the backs of toilet doors, supermarkets, laundries, barber shops, beauty salons, public service agencies, video game rooms, paychecks, newspapers, billboards, magazines, public transportation facilities, television and radio at prime times, and on networks that reach people in their own language. Messages should be relevant, short, honest, and catchy with pizazz. The same message should be conveyed in different ways to reach the appropriate population. Health care providers get their information usually from their respective professional societies, from mailings, journals, meetings, hospitals, drug companies, State health departments, and liscensure agencies. Increasingly, information is computer disseminated on the Internet, with many medical societies having their own home page.
Internet is also a source for the public who are computer literate.
In the area of encouraging healthy behavior during pregnancy, the best thing Government has done is to provide prenatal care to pregnant women. In the last two years, that number is down to 3.5 percent, and a good number with no care are illegals. All pregnant women should receive prenatal care without restriction, and all children should receive health care. The rest of the industrialized world doesn't understand us, because we don't do this. Working women should have standardized maternity leave policies to spend time at home with their newborns.
