PIP: IEC programs increase the knowledge and motivation of decision makers with power over determinants of population growth and socioeconomic development. Information may improve the awareness of public and private officials of population questions and of the form in which they are treated. Information activities involve demographic growth and spatial distribution of the population, the demographic and health benefits of family planning, and the danger of sexually transmitted diseases and AIDS. The mass media are the main source of information, but in developing countries various forms of folk media enjoyed by the public may also be used. Technical journals and other information networks are available for the professional audience. Population communication promotes acceptance and use of family planning. Radio and television series that incorporate family planning themes, popular music that mentions population problems, and broadcasts of telephone question and answer programs have been influential in some countries. Such informational programs may be very important in regions with low levels of literacy. Programs targeted to adolescents may help resolve problems of early pregnancy. More than 80 countries include population education in their school curriculum. The objectives vary, but they generally include making students aware of population problems and of their own responsibilities. Population questions are also included in many professional training programs.^ieng
