The May session of Hot Topics in Practice will explore effective strategies for elevating health disparities in ways that elevate awareness, foster collaboration, and build consensus for change. The presenter will share new findings and recommendations from culture and communications research, including inquiries with rural Americans. By the end of this hour-long webinar, participants will be better equipped to avoid distracting or polarizing language, select and craft examples that point audiences to the historical factors contributing to health disparities, and learn other practical communication strategies to advocate for change.

Register today to discover how shifting our framing of health equity can foster a more inclusive, solutions-oriented approach to health disparities and historical inequities.
