Do You Have a Gift for Gab? Use it to Promote Health!

Dr. Felicia E. Mebane — Thu, 24 Mar 2011 03:19:49 +0000

One way public health experts influence people’s behaviors is to communicate messages about what to do or not to do to be healthy and why. To be effective, these experts rely on theories, research evidence and actual results to develop best practices for improving health. If you enjoy talking to people, working with mass media, […]
