Sexual Health Communication: Strategies to Save Lives

Catalog description

Sexual transmission has been responsible for some of the deadliest epidemics in U.S. and world history, especially the ongoing HIV-AIDS pandemic. Stopping sexually-transmitted epidemics requires specialized communication skills, an understanding of the needs of impacted communities, and willingness to learn from what's worked in the past and what's gone disastrously wrong. In this class, you will take on the role of a public health expert confronting contemporary sexual health challenges. You will design and execute a sexual health communication campaign that tackles a current issue in public health, and, along the way, learn vital skills in public health communication.
