In Part Two of our two-part series about building trust and reducing polarization with the Change Conversation Cycle communication framework, we talk with its creator, Karin Tamerius, M.D. about how it could scale up, its potential for evaluation, and her thoughts on the challenges ahead to rebuild trust and reduce polarization around public health, science, politics, and other institutions.
If you haven’t already done so, be sure to check out the links in the resources below to several interactive online chatbots developed by Dr. Tamerius, including one distributed by Kaiser Permanente to help people have more effective conversations about COVID vaccination. Use them to practice a new way of communicating before you sit down this holiday season with loved ones whose views on science and public health may be different than your own! (And if you didn’t already listen to Part One with Dr. Tamerius, check it out first: Episode 17).
