The study reported in this article was designed as the first step in planning and implementing a communitywide collaborative to work on improving medically underserved children's access to health care. The authors used a two-stage, census-based telephone survey to identify organizations that had contact with medically underserved children and to assess the status of the communication network among them. Although there was no evidence of a functioning network among the organizations surveyed, the results indicate that many organizations would participate in a network and suggest possibilities for developing an organizational network aimed at improving children's access to health care.}, number={4}, journal={JOURNAL OF HEALTH COMMUNICATION}, author={Farr, A.

To demonstrate entertainment education effects, researchers must first indicate that participants have been exposed to their program. Exposure to effective programs has been associated with increases in knowledge about program topics, attitude change, and self-efficacious perceptions. The purpose of this study was to develop and test a new exposure technique that accurately and precisely determines direct exposure levels to Ethiopia's Journey of Life. Overall, the study found very high listenership, storyline recall, liking of the program, and strong desire to change behavior while maintaining low error rates in terms of verbatim recall of storylines and reported listenership to a fictitious program.}, number={3}, journal={JOURNAL OF HEALTH COMMUNICATION}, author={Farr, AC and Witte, K and Jarato, K and Menard, T}, year={2005}, pages={225–235} }
