I am currently collecting stories about TB experiences from Indigenous Peoples in my area. We will use the data collected for qualitative research purposes, but most importantly to find out how story telling (a culturally acceptable method of transferring knowledge within Indigenous Peoples) can be further utilized for health promotion.
Ron Labonte has made this one of the corner-stones of his community-based work. See: Labonte, R., & Feather, J. (1996). Handbook on using stories in health promotion practice. Ottawa: Health Canada
Labonte, R., Feather, J., & Hills, M. (1999). A story/dialogue method for health promotion knowledge development and evaluation. Health Education Research, 14(1), 39-50.
You can read about a new methodology we developed using the arts and health literacy in a narrative interactive process - Theater for Health - in a project in Peru targeting household hygiene at http://canyonranchinstitute.org/partnerships-a-programs/programs/arts-for-behavior-change
