First I believe you are attempting to reach two different audiences. The potential students and the policy leaders(the general public can identify with either depending on the need and interest). I have found that for the policy leaders having a panel presentation by students who have experienced the changes to their life as a result of participation in an intensive family literacy program has been most successful. - We had an open house for policy leaders from our area. To reach the potential students we have found that referrals from participating students, other agencies and teachers as well as being visible and getting out into the students neighborhood, has worked the best. Get the names and make a personal call; many times students enroll for one reason and then find that we are an unthreatening opportunity to improve many facets of their life. A local TV station did an interview which included a program overview and continues to run it with contact information. IF you have limited literacy skills or cannot read or write you are not going to respond to any questionnaire or poll. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have questions.

What messages move them to action? Who are credible messengers? These are some of the questions we are trying to answer with a 'social marketing' project in Connecticut in order to develop successful outreach strategies. We are in the process of developing our questionnaires and interviews and are looking for other instruments that have been used to collect these kinds of data and the results. We are aware of the work NCFL has done with the Ad Council, but are wondering if others have surveys that get at these questions. Thanks for any help you can provide.
