We have begun with colon cancer. Phase I was completed end of 2004 and we are hoping to continue with Phase II in the Fall of 2005. It will entail a clinical trial at literacy centers across California. Our research aim is to determine what kinds of narrative structures work best to bring about changes in knowledge and behavior. Our business aim is to produce a series of multimedia-based stories for a range of health-related topics. We believe that whatever works for adult learners will have broad applicability and general appeal across the population. We are naturally interested in talking to any companies interested in this work. Colleen C.E.
