De Sol A Sol

De Sol A Sol proudly produces Public Health Updates, radio programs that air for three minutes, five days a week that promote the mission of the three sponsoring New Mexico Departments.

The radio content is presented in a standardized format.  It begins with the articulation of the health issue and health problem, and information on incidence and prevalance.  The impact of the health problem and issue are described in terms of both personal and social  consequences.  Finally resources are identified so that the listener knows what kind of information, services and supports are available.

Several outcomes are pursued with Public Health Updates radio programs which include lifestyle changes that are grounded in the principles of prevention, education, and access.  Other outcomes include promoting awareness of issues, concerns, and opportunities to modify health related behaviors.  Community media, specifically radio is a venue to present health education and health promotions information in a manner that is accessible to the general population of New Mexico residents.
