  4. Public Materials Purpose • image/visual based (rather than information heavy) • Emphasis on awareness, drawing attention, as opposed to educating with specific details • larger images for display in more public locations  (while I was in Mbabane there were HIV posters promoting condom use hanging on street lights) • These are the sorts of areas that could be targeted

  5. Examples of Public Materials • Existing poster format that could be inspiration for adapting and drafting IPT posters/flyers • Example from planned parenthood • Good visual dynamic • Cohesive use of color to separate messages • Allows for many points on a poster while visually pleasing and not appearing to clustered

Clinic Based Materials • Pamphlets • Take home pamphlets for patients • Instructional pamphlets for health care providers/workers as well • Lots of health care providers might not know all the exact details of treating LTBI • Posters in clinic waiting rooms, bathrooms, exam rooms, pharmacy waiting area • More detailed and specific information about IPT, latent TB than public posters • Outline treatment protocols for health care workers • Outline adherence policies, benefits of IPT, reasons for taking IPT, side effects for patients
