Sugar-Free Drinks
Explaining why sugar causes tooth decay
Project Background
This public health research project aimed to reduce the rate of tooth decay among children in the Yup'ik communities of Alaska. The project team asked us to develop educational materials to support community health workers in their conversations with local families.
Our Work
We developed a video flipbook that included pauses to prompt a community health worker to engage families in discussions on specific topics. Our character designs were based on photographs from Yup'ik communities to ensure that the clothing, locations, and objects were illustrated appropriately.
Results
English and Yup-ik language versions of the video flipbook are currently being used by the research team.
