Call for Speakers /Speaker Recommendations on Health Communication

Im looking to hold a webinar on developing persuasive health communications tools. How to craft persuasive, culturally and literacy-level appropriate messages that will influence an audience. Webinar will be approximately 90 minutes in length with Q&A.  The target audience for the webinars is health care professionals and others implementing community-based health initiatives.

 

Any suggestions? Please email Karla at kpalmer@aap.org.

Have you heard of Elude - a new game designed to help people overcome depression: http://www.govloop.com/profiles/blogs/elude-gaming-as-the-opposite

Opens up a discussion about health literacy, too:

"Elude is designed for the clinical setting, as part of a psycho-education package for friends and family of those living with depression. As I sat imagining this play out between clinician, client and family, my mind wandered to health literacy and realized that this type of education doesn’t fit in our current definitions. According to Healthy People health literacy is “the capacity to obtain, process, and understand basic health information and services to make appropriate health decisions.” What about the ability to empathize with others’ and their health struggles?"

Hi all! I just posted a video that highlights Salt Lake City's "Care to Clear the Air" initiative, which empowers resident to utilize alternative transit to help clear the air during our winter "inversion" season.

Because our fair city sits in a mountain valley, we face some of the worst air quality in the nation for PM2.5 and ozone with over 50% of our air pollution coming from motor vehicles. Not surprisingly, this is a serious health issue for our residents - especially the young, old and those with chronic health problems.

We're tapping into Community-Based Social Marketing models to help us in our quest for sustained behavior change. Love to hear about other programs!
