Mind the Gap: Let’s Talk Innovation in COVID-19 Education, Engagement and Outreach
Event Navigation
This lecture qualifies for 1 hour of credit toward the annual Gillings School faculty and staff inclusive excellence training requirements.
In this session, researchers and community advocates will provide insights into a digital and print campaign developed to increase awareness about COVID-19 in Black and brown communities. Not A Host (NAH) is a grassroots effort designed to bridge the knowledge gaps around COVID-19 transmission and prevention and the systemic and structural influences that disproportionately impact minority communities. This collaborative effort has drawn the expertise of health behavior scientists, educators, epidemiologists, community psychologists and community advocates dedicated to equity in health.
