Part One of Health Comm Central’s first series! Over the next few weeks we will be looking at research and recommendations related to Social Determinants of Health, one of the foundational frameworks we consider when developing health communication strategy and training.
Today’s episode focuses on the language we choose to talk about SDOH, health equity, and related concepts. You might be surprised to learn that research suggests we eliminate the terms “social determinants of health” and “equity” from our messages. We’ll cover six tips to ensure that you find the right words to communicate these critical concepts in the most persuasive way possible.
