The current coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has led Cameroon’s government to implement public health measures aimed at preventing its spread. This paper investigates how community health education on the virus was being carried out, what gaps exist and what further action could be taken. A survey instrument was used to gather data among a total of 179 Cameroonians recruited via opportunistic and snowball sampling methods. According to our findings, gaps exist. These include the need for adequate community health education on COVID-19, maximising multilingualism and indigenous cultural assets and disbanding misconceptions on the pandemic, as well as stigmatisation. The paper culminates by underlining the significance of an integrated approach to confront the pandemic. This approach captures the need to frame but also firm up community health education architecture on COVID-19 that captures inputs from different stakeholders, including indigenous knowledge holders, for collective wellbeing.

A national sample of community health education practitioners in the United States was surveyed by mail and asked to select five articles published during the 1970's that they would recommend their colleagues read. The study was conducted in late 1979 after a comparable national survey of university health education faculty by Cernada and Chen (International Quarterly of Community Health Education, 1:2 and 2:1). The recommended readings were collected and abstracted, and are presented in annotated bibliographic form. This annotated bibliography follows up on the collection published in Volume 4, Number 4, of the International Quarterly of Community Health Education which covered Community Health Education Policy, Theory, and Social Issues-its focus is on Applied Research, Evaluation, and Case Studies.
