Entertainment by itself is cathartic, but behavior change requires more than catharsis. A Mexican TV producer named Miguel Sabino started doing public health soap operas (telenovelas) during the 1970s.

His methods have since been used around the world, though very little in the U.S.

Indeed, but i guess entertainment can spark off people's cursiosity and somehow educate people. That's a very inspiring example on public health!
True, necessary but not sufficient.
