Annotation: In this video series from the FrameWorks Institute, presenters explain how specific framing techniques can help you navigate some of the trickiest communication challenges. This series is designed to help communicators navigate some of the toughest framing challenges in today’s complex communications landscape, particularly when discussing health equity in rural areas. The initial episodes focus on communicating about health and health disparities, offering insights into framing with the shared value of dignity, fostering systemic thinking about health, and expanding the understanding of what health truly encompasses. Title V programs implementing the Blueprint for Change may find these insights valuable in advancing your efforts. In each Explain the Frame episode, presenters walk you through a common framing challenge, present a framing technique to help you navigate it, and explain how the framing works in practice. xxx

Learning Objectives: • Learn recommendations on how to communicate about health issues that affect some groups more than others. • Review research on how to paint a fuller, bigger picture of health.

Annotation: This third installation of JSI's Behavior Effect series on person-centered care will examine service delivery and experience.

Annotation: This panel will discuss what inclusive research is, how to conduct it, and what issues and challenges exist about engaging in it. “Inclusive research” has its history as a participatory research method designed to ensure people closest to the issue or problem under study are authentically engaged in the research process rather than simply being “research subjects.” While community-based participatory research has begun to take on greater prominence in the criminal justice realm, such efforts are largely confined to qualitative research inquiries. This panel makes the case that inclusive research can and should apply to a wider array of research questions and methods and that employing it can yield more accurate and policy-relevant evidence. Panelists will also engage in a “myth busting” discussion to address possible challenges to conducting inclusive research and how to overcome them.

Learning Objectives: • Outline what inclusive research is. • Illustrate how to use inclusive research. • Express how to overcome barriers.

Annotation: Public health was not a profession until the early 20th century following the movement to institutionalize and link health education to medical training. Historically, the concepts of health are rooted in the cultural perceptions surrounding health predominant for the period. Archeological evidence gives us an indication of how these concepts of health evolved over time and impacted the practice of maintaining the health of the population, even affecting how we think of health in the current age. This course will give an overview of the historical record of cultures and how they affected health practices and how these cultural beliefs impacted current public health practices. Additionally, the course will examine the institutionalization of public health in the United States. This course will consist of two modules. Module one will examine the historical foundation of health beliefs and perceptions up to the 18th century and the emergence of modern thought. Module two will examine how social reform influenced the practice of public health in England and how these beliefs were then transformed into modern public health practice. Finally, module two will describe the institutionalization of public health in the United States.

Learning Objectives: Module 1. Historical Foundations of Health Beliefs Up to the 18th Century • To examine the cultural and religious origins of public health beliefs and behaviors • To provide selected archeological evidence to verify how public health concepts evolved and impacted the maintenance of health within populations • To demonstrate the health impact of the crusades and pilgrimages to the Holy Land through a discussion of epidemics of leprosy and syphilis • To illustrate the basis for medical practices in antiquity that by today’s standards seem bizarre • To provide specific illustrations (e.g. days of quarantine) of how religious beliefs influence health codes and behaviors Module 2. Foundations of Public Health in the Modern Era • To illustrate the emergence of public health as a profession through the linkage of health education and medical training • To discuss influential legislation such as the Hill-Burton Act and their affect on modern medical practice • To demonstrate the relationship between state and local health agencies and the important roles played by each • To illustrate the positive influence of public health practice on morbidity and mortality as regards the nation’s health • To outline and discuss the three critical functions of public health as proposed by the Institute of Medicine (IOM)
