Full course description
This training emphasizes the use of effective communication as a vital public health tool that enhances health literacy, builds trust, and promotes healthy behaviors by delivering clear, consistent, and actionable information. It plays a critical role in managing health crises by enabling the swift dissemination of accurate information and mitigating public anxiety. Conversely, poor communication can lead to misinformation, erode trust, and hinder the adoption of healthy behaviors, ultimately compromising public health efforts and increasing risks during emergencies. Thus, the effectiveness of public health initiatives relies heavily on the quality of communication.
