Brief Summary

Mass media plays more and more important role in health education, especially in some chronic diseases which related closely with the behavior and habits. Past experience tells us that with the help of related health education in mass media such as newspaper articles, advertisements and videos on television, peoples can change their behaviors and habits in a short period of time. But when these educational information were stopped, peoples usually return to their original habits. Besides the national policy of the country how to improve the long-term health education in the mass media should be considered.This study hopes to seek an effective method to keep the mass media long-term focus on health education.
