This course focuses on the development and execution of a communications strategy for a public health organization responsible for a community-based intervention, featuring a review of basic theory and research that informs the health communications process.

They will also develop a communications strategy and prepare several media executions to advance that strategy, including a pitch letter with infographic, press release, commentary/editorial, letter to the editor/online blog, scheduled press event, social media platform (i.e., Twitter feeds, Facebook pages), interview, elevator pitch, video, and prototype of a mobile app.
