“Having worked as a Teacher, Public Health Specialist and more recently as a designer of Health Education Resources, I was excited to learn about the large array of evidence based resources that Contraception Education had to offer. On further analysis of the resources I was very pleased to see how thoroughly these products had been produced, tested and generally researched to ensure that they showed recordable changes in knowledge, attitudes and behavior. I can fully understand why these resources have had so much lavish praise from both health professionals and award panels.”
Paul Wright, HEALTHEDCO, 2 October 2008
