Hot Topics: Use of Social Media Tools: Public Health Examples

The August Hot Topics session highlights a panel of volunteers from May's Hot Topics listening audience with examples of the uses of Social Media tools for public health settings. Uses include areas of emergency management such as H1N1 control, formulating health department policy on social media, disease control and contact tracing methods, organizing a Medical Reserve Corps, and many others. Panel members come from both small and large agencies with a variety of backgrounds but all share interest, enthusiasm, and experience in the use of social media for public health.
