Although the search for appropriate methodology in educating and training rural community populations is on going, previous efforts have yielded few results, some of which have not been successful with consequences for scarce resources. This paper, based on field reports from the Population Communication Project in Ghana, demonstrates that community learning theory can offer understanding of appropriate methodology in rural learning, education and training. The report shows steps used in educating people in Wusuta (a rural community) on health and environmental issues in the community using a mix of traditional and modern approaches. The result shows that the community internalized learning activity and were able to relate their learning experiences to existing traditional values and the need for action. The paper thus offers the method as a solution to rural population training and learning methodology.

More than 36,000 Americans die and 200,000 more are hospitalized because of influenza every\year. Despite the wide availability of a vaccine to prevent influenza, the vast majority of Americans go unimmunized. The Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DHMH) and the Maryland Partnership for Prevention (MPP) collect data about the state's local health departments' influenza season practices and experiences and compile them into the annual Maryland Influenza Season Final Report. The report becomes a tool for DHMH, MPP, and the state's 24 local health departments to plan improvements in influenza vaccination services. This article chronicles four influenza seasons. Influenza season challenges experienced in three of the last four influenza seasons underscore the importance of coordination and communication efforts to ensure that vaccine is efficiently delivered to the most vulnerable populations. The partnership between DHMH and MPP has facilitated access to information on ordering and administration practices, communication systems, community partnerships, and lessons learned, thus enabling the state of Maryland to continually optimize its influenza vaccination promotion efforts.
