Commuters infected with TB felt at ease with the campaign as it helped them shift their mindset and help them cope with the disease. Many found the information to be helpful, as they could now identify the symptoms of TB. They were pleased to know that the TB treatment was free to all and that TB was curable.

14. Key campaign learnings/recommendations Comuta-net medium was most cost effective way of reaching our core target audience When embarking on a campaign of this nature using a combination of Comuta-net communication platforms is key in ensuring message penetration Messages must be simple, clear and consistent Utilizing Comuta-net platforms ensures reach, and high frequency will guarantee message retention, comprehension and impact It would be advisable to incorporate some form of campaign measurement mechanism to measure message retention and comprehension
