Welcome to my blog 'Improving Public Health'.
The Center for Disease Control list Healthy People 2020 goals, one being: "Use health communication strategies and health information technology (IT) to improve population health outcomes and health care quality, and to achieve health equity." What does that mean, and how does this relate to my blog? I will be writing this blog, with hopes to educate people via internet & social media on public health related topics. According to the CDC, using social media tools has become an effective way to expand reach, foster engagement, and increase access to credible, science-based health messages. Integrating social media into health communication helps spread key messages, influence health decision making, and improve health outcomes.
Please share in my goal of improving public health by sharing blogs via social media. Let's do our part in achieving all Healthy People 2020 goals.
