Examines the effect of message source on message recall and perceived credibility in a study comparing two different computer-tailored bulletins promoting fruit and vegetable consumption among rural African American church members. An expert oriented (EXP) bulletin was compared with a spiritual oriented (SPIR) bulletin. The majority of both groups recalled receiving the bulletin, however message trust was higher in the SPIR group. (Author/GCP)
