A proposed methodology of health education for inherited genetic disorders: Bag and Ball technique

Le résumé fourni par la source

The life-threatening genetic blood disorder, thalassaemia, which causes decreased haemoglobin production, is preventable. Sociocultural determinants and the level of public health awareness must be used to adopt control measures of prevention. Identifying information gaps and educating the community about screening should be a priority, especially in areas with high disease burdens. A relevant health education technique, with which the audience can identify, can effectively bring understanding necessary effectively to sensitise the community. We propose the 'Bag and Ball' method, which includes role-play for health education specifically concerning inherited genetic disorders.
