Participatory Communication in indigenous health development: A focus group study.

Participatory is a tow-way dialogical communication which involves participation of the audience in the program for the best result out of it. It mainly involves audience in dialogue, collaboration & group decision making.

A participatory communication way was taken to a focus group study in the village community of Nepal & Remote Aboriginal Community of Central Australia to discuses some aspects of Participatory Communication in indigenous health development. They involve 10-15 people in community aged 20-50 of both male & female, but because of cultural problems female participants ware not able to participate from Remote Aboriginal Community of Central Australia.

Its main objective was for its audiences to discuss about health development there, inform them about the issue etc.

In the discussion they have talked about their problem what they faces with previous programs related to health development. They mentioned about lack of communication or interaction, tow-way communication, relevant information, group discussion, seriousness about their cultural sensitivity.

As a result this program had disclosed the problem with previous indigenous health development programs & opened a path for a batter one.
