What your colleagues in health education think about this program
"It provides us an opportunity to give the girls the samples, something we would otherwise not be able to do. The $1.00 reimbursement is great, too."
"It was wonderful to be able to give the girls something. We've always wanted to, but couldn't afford it. We also like the flexibility - to be able to use what we wanted/needed without being told what we had to use (script, slides, powerpoint, etc)."
"The program is easy to use, report, and receive information."
"The sample packets help students that are lower income determine different products available."
