Making Data Talk: A Public Health Workbook

Aug 29, 2019 | Kim Rodgers

How do you successfully communicate scientific evidence to improve public health? Developed by the National Cancer Institute’s Office of Communications and Education, Making Data Talk: A Workbook provides key information, practical suggestions, and examples on how to effectively communicate health-related scientific data to the public, policy makers, and the media.

The content presented in the workbook will take you through communication concepts, an easy-to-understand framework for communicating data, and the application of that framework to actual public health situations. Many chapters also include practice exercises that use real-world examples to reinforce key concepts and help you apply what you have learned.

Download this resource to better select and convey data in ways lay audiences can understand.
