Chaning the COVID Conversation
-
It’s never been more important in public health to understand the perceptions of Americans and tailor health communications accordingly. In 2020 and 2021, de Beaumont partnered with pollster Frank Luntz and data intelligence company Morning Consult on a series of polls and focus groups to identify the messaging and language most likely to build support for public health measures and confidence in COVID-19 vaccines. Since then, we have continued to study the views, beliefs, and values of…

Public Health Communications Collaborative
-
The Public Health Communications Collaborative (PHCC) was formed in August 2020 by the CDC Foundation, the de Beaumont Foundation, and Trust for America’s Health to provide unbiased communication about the COVID-19 pandemic. With misinformation and polarization eroding trust in public health, PHCC’s founders came together to create, coordinate, and amplify science-based messaging to support and enhance the communications capacity of health departments across the country.

With misinformation and polarization eroding trust in public health, PHCC’s founders came together to create, coordinate, and amplify science-based messaging to support and enhance the communications capacity of health departments across the country.
Since that time, PHCC has grown to include new partners and broadened our mission beyond the COVID-19 pandemic. Today, our resources are guided by feedback from the field to address the evolving needs of public health communicators, such as answers to tough questions, misinformation alerts, shareable graphics and social messaging, and other communication tools. -
