Comic strips on Japanese Encephalitis
As part of the qualitative arm of the RCZI study, the researchers set to work with the communication team to produce a range of materials that could further inform, dispel myths and educate target groups with relevant information. The “Comic strip series on JE” emerged from this exercise.

Using easily identifiable characters like the ASHA Didi (Health worker), Medical Officer, Primary Health Centre, Anganwadi Worker, Auxiliary Nurse Midwife (ANM), Pradhanji (village leader) and community members, the stories were woven together.
The comic strip series will strengthen this basket of informative materials and will be disseminated through donors and government agencies in ways that benefit the community.
A set of five A-4 sized comic strips have been designed, with scenes accompanied
by blurbs, dialogue boxes and narrative in colour.
