H5P INTERACTIVE TOOL INSTRUCTIONS
Format: Interactive drag-and-drop or quiz exercise (Moodle H5P plugin)
Activity: Users receive 5 sample health messages. For each, they rate using the 5C Checklist and receive immediate feedback.
Sample Messages for Testing:
MESSAGE 1 (Handwashing):
“Practice good hygiene to prevent disease transmission in the community.”
Feedback:
- CLEAR? 3/5 — “Good hygiene” is vague. What exactly?
- CORRECT? 4/5 — Factually true but imprecise
- CULTURALLY APPROPRIATE? 4/5 — Generally yes, but could be more specific
- CONSISTENT? 3/5 — Generic, won’t align with specific audience messages
- COMPELLING? 2/5 — No action stated, no benefit stated
Overall: Needs major revision
Better version: “Wash your hands with soap after using the toilet and before eating. This stops diarrhea germs. Handwashing saves your family.”
MESSAGE 2 (Cholera Testing):
“If you develop a rash and fever lasting more than 3 days, report immediately to your nearest health facility. Early testing and treatment improve outcomes. Bring your national ID and insurance card (if you have one). Testing and treatment are free.”
Feedback:
- CLEAR? 4/5 — Clear, actionable instruction
- CORRECT? 5/5 — Medically accurate
- CULTURALLY APPROPRIATE? 4/5 — Respectful, practical
- CONSISTENT? 4/5 — Aligns with other outbreak messaging
- COMPELLING? 4/5 — Shows benefit (improves outcomes), removes barrier (free)
Overall: Ready to use (minor refinement could add trusted messenger name)
MESSAGE 3 (Vaccination):
“Vaccinate your children now or they will get measles and die.”
Feedback:
- CLEAR? 4/5 — Clear action (vaccinate)
- CORRECT? 3/5 — Medically true but overstated (most recover)
- CULTURALLY APPROPRIATE? 2/5 — Fear-based, disrespectful, fatalistic tone
- CONSISTENT? 2/5 — Contradicts empowering messaging approach
- COMPELLING? 1/5 — Fear without efficacy doesn’t work; better to show prevention power
Overall: Needs major revision
Better version: “Vaccinate your children to protect them from measles. Vaccines work—thousands of children are protected. Free vaccination at [clinic name] on Saturdays.”
