Vaccination Community Learning Program: Free, Interactive Training.

It’s a trying time in public health, and communicating about vaccines has never been more challenging OR more important. To better equip each and every person promoting vaccines in their communities, Vaccinate Your Family is pleased to share our new free, interactive, self-paced educational offering called the Vaccination Community Learning Program (VCLP). The VCLP is the newly updated and expanded version of our popular Vaccination Community Navigator curriculum, which was originally designed for Community Health Workers.

These courses help ANYONE build vaccine knowledge, communication skills, and confidence to promote vaccination in their communities. All courses are free, mobile-friendly, and accessible from anywhere. Right now, the VCLP is only available in English and Spanish is in development.

Opportunities to practice – whether it’s through quizzes, discussion prompts, or real-world scenarios, you’ll have plenty of opportunity to practice what you’ve learned
Modular design – Bite-sized lessons make it easy to learn in short bursts
Plain language & culturally responsive – Designed for everyone
Mobile-friendly – Works seamlessly on phones and tablets

Communications Tool: Strategies for Developing Culturally Driven Public Health Communications

Recognizing and incorporating the diversity of people’s cultures, values, and beliefs is essential to effectively communicating with multicultural audiences. Through culturally driven communications, public health professionals can prioritize the preferences and perspectives of target audiences and ensure each priority population feels represented within messaging, visuals, and outreach.

The Public Health Communications Collaborative and HCN co-created “Strategies for Developing Culturally Driven Public Health Communications” to support public health communicators in effectively communicating with multicultural audiences. This guide is divided into three sections – messaging, visuals, and outreach – to support the development of your public health communications. Each section offers strategies and tools to help you create materials that build stronger relationships, increase credibility, and improve health outcomes.

Health in All Policies Evaluation Tool

State and local health departments are investing in Health in All Policies (HiAP) as a strategy to incorporate health equity into local decision-making processes. HiAP encourages engaging partners from diverse backgrounds—such as transportation, housing, education, and environment, and other sectors—to address the root causes of health disparities that are deeply intertwined with social, economic, and environmental factors.

Many health departments are seeking to evaluate the benefits of investing in integrating HiAP into their public health practice. To support the development of robust evaluations, ASTHO—in partnership with the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO) and with funding provided by CDC's National Center for Environmental Health—developed this HiAP Evaluation Tool for local and state health department to provide structure and guidance for evaluating HiAP initiatives.

WPHA Memorial Student Scholarship Fund

The WPHA Memorial Student Scholarship for Outstanding Student in Public Health was established by WPHA in 2005 to honor those individuals who are pursuing higher education and who have distinguished themselves through their leadership, commitment, and contributions to the field of public health.
