WEBINAR
Communicating the Risk of Infectious Diseases in a Changing Climate

What means are available to public health practitioners for effectively communicating the risk of infectious diseases to the public? When a new outbreak emerges, how can public health convey facts and risks accurately to the public and to policy makers? How are risks interpreted by various audiences? This March 8, 2017 webinar provided different perspectives on communicating risk in an “environment” of change: the intersection of climate change and infectious disease emergence and resurgence.
