Equitable Epidemiology: Deep Dive Workshops for Public Health Communicators In these deep-dive workshops, we’ll seek to motivate an elevated duty-of-care for public health data communication, cover techniques for identifying prevalent risks in messaging, and propose alternative, evidence-backed chart choices for common use cases for visualizing population health outcomes.
