Project Description • Goal of this project is to educate families about Child and Teen Checkups by producing a series of four culturally specific videos. • Videos are designed for a defined community--each working from a common script that was modified to meet the language and cultural norms of the community.

  10. Distribution • The videos have been customized for and distributed to 99% of Minnesota’s C&TC programs, using their county specific contact information. • Videos are used in outreach to community agencies and for use in clinics.
