Clear communication is a critical skill to master, especially for professionals working to promote public health. It is especially important to be able to communicate data in ways people can understand and use. Whether you are communicating to policy makers, health professionals, or the public, plain language principles can help you craft messages that are clear, relevant, and actionable. This course will draw from the science communication, health literacy, and cultural competency fields of study and practice, offering evidence-based approaches to meet diverse health information needs. Students will develop skills to communicate clear, motivating, and accurate content for public and professional audiences. The course will include individual and small group work, writing and editing practice, oral presentation, and peer review assignments.
