Conclusions;
In the context of Newly Merged Districts of erstwhile FATA which are
inaccessible scattered population with difficult terrain and
sociocultural rigidity, this survey finds combination of mass media and
IPC by frontline health worker, most suitable for the awareness raising
of general public. Print material and displayed material have little
scope in these hard to reach areas. These recommendations may be
considered at the time of reviewing RCCE strategy. The survey may be
repeated after a reasonable period for the purpose of comparison.
Additionally, these finding will prove helpful in planning communication
strategy for other public health interventions in these districts.
