Healthy for Life
(in collaboration with Birmingham Core Skills Partnership and Birmingham Teenage Pregnancy Project)
Designed to provide accessible information and support to pregnant teenagers and their partners (many of them from ethnic minorities), this blended learning package included colourful fliers, SMS quizzes, downloadable materials for Pocket PC and funky, pocket-sized ‘z-cards’.
Close attention was paid to the group’s needs to ensure that they only covered subjects that were of interest to them (i.e. labour and birth, sexually transmitted diseases, nutrition, housing and benefits). The materials used appropriate language, attractive illustrations, photo stories and cartoons. The project demonstrably improved the group’s self-confidence and showed their willingness to learn.
