This is a 30-minute online course. This is the second of three courses about Public Health Reaching Across Sectors (PHRASES).

This online course is an overview of Public Health Reaching Across Sectors or PHRASES, a compilation of communication strategies and tools for public health professionals to use to foster a better understanding of public health and the greater willingness of other sectors to engage in cross-sector partnerships. It will provide an introduction to how productive framing and messaging can improve partnerships and overall health outcomes, and an overview of the tools and strategies PHRASES provides to improve communication to other sectors.

PHRASES is a joint project of the de Beaumont Foundation and the Aspen Institute’s Health, Medicine and Society Program.
