Program Description: 

A review of the literature on the use of graphic novels for health education purposes revealed that the majority of scientific studies published are not guided by health theories nor do they report the levels of literacy of the tools nor study participants. The health education tool used in this study was developed using Social Cognitive Theory and its constructs were evaluated for their efficacy in helping improve the target audience’s health behaviors with moderate success. An analysis was also conducted to understand the role of the participants’ health literacy in the effect of the intervention.
