Webinar: Last Chance to Register for A New Way to Talk About the Social Determinants of Health

Tomorrow, July 27, is the last day to register for our upcoming webinar. The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and Grantmakers in Health invite you to participate in this 90-minute webinar to share research and best practices in effective communication about the social determinants of health and the complex beliefs and conflicted values that come along with it. After four years of research, we now have a way to create more compelling, effective and persuasive messages that resonate across the political spectrum.

Scheduled for Thursday, July 29, 2010 at 3:00 p.m. (EST) / 2:00 p.m. (CST) / 1:00 p.m. (MST) / 12:00 noon (PST), this webinar will summarize research about this complicated aspect of health and share the most effective way to reach the widest audiences.

What you will learn:

• Better frames and messages for “social determinants”
• Best practices and principles in language
• How to use data to support your case

Panelists will include:

• Ann Christiano, Senior Communications Officer, RWJF
• Drew Westen, Ph.D., Professor in the Departments of Psychology and Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Emory University.
