[H+T--Friends] FYI - National Academy of Medicine Webinar on Communicating Equity

by Martinez, Victoria (FHWA)

FYI The National Academies report Communities in Action: Pathways to Health Equity<https://www.nap.edu/catalog/24624/communities-in-action-pathways-to-health-…> concluded that health equity is crucial and health inequity is costly. Communities across the country are deploying action strategies to reduce health inequities. However, it can be challenging to effectively communicate and message the value of health equity and ongoing efforts to diverse stakeholders. Voices for Healthy Kids<https://voicesforhealthykids.org/>, a joint initiative of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the American Heart Association, developed a messaging guide that provides custom-built messages and insights for policy advocates to further the advancement of health equity. This guide provides an overview of shared values and the need to harness these values in mobilizing decision makers to take action. Link to webinar https://nam.edu/event/messaging-to-advance-health-equity-in-public-policy-a… For this webinar, experts provided research-based tips and techniques for advancing health equity in public policy. A case study illustrated how value-based messaging has proven effective in creating common ground while unifying communities and decision makers to create needed change. Objectives * Highlight successful strategies for messaging and communicating health equity in public policy. * Provide an example of a successful communications campaign that effectively utilized evidence-based strategies to engage key stakeholders to advance health equity in public policy. * Identify current research gaps around effective messaging and communication for health equity.
