In July 2014, the NCCDH hosted an online conversation to discuss questions related to the use of social media for knowledge exchange on the social determinants of health and health equity.
Participants in the conversation talked about using social media to:
- increase the visibility, accessibility, and transparency of SDOH issues and practice
- share information and links to online resources such as reports and articles
- expand their reach from their local context to beyond the ‘usual suspects’
- crowdsource answers to public health questions
- adopt a user-centred approach to gain input for planning processes, policies, and/or services
Use this resource to:
- identify strategies for using social media in public health
- identify organizational supports for the use of social media
- discover resources to facilitate the inclusion of social media in public health practice
