This session will discuss the concept of tools used in community engagement and health promotion. It will elaborate on ways that data integration and dissemination affect both program process and patient outcomes.
Session Objectives: At the end of this session, participants will be better able to: • Describe how the strategies used by the field of adult education can inform health communication work. • Demonstrate how GIS can be used to effectively communicate data to community leaders and advocates. • Explain and demonstrate how to use GIS with multiple data sources to create a risk-characterization tool that can be used to identify areas that should be prioritized for adaptation strategies to reduce the impact of heat waves.
