What people hear

Public health messaging has always been a critical component of community health measures. And in recent times, amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, successes and missteps in communication have been more apparent than ever. That’s why we love this resource from the de Beaumont Foundation titled, “Changing the COVID Conversation.”

Or for a quick overview, access this slide deck summarizing a nationwide poll about the words that work when talking about COVID. The findings are incredible thought-provoking and just might help you (and us!) communicate with our communities and gain buy-in for safety measures.

We’d love to hear from you too! What messaging is working in Oklahoma, please feel free to comment below.
