Presentation to NC Asthma Summit

Description:

Severity of large fires has increased. Science is there: smoke produces a range of health outcomes, impacts productivity, and wellbeing. Can we construct communication strategies that deliver information when we most need it and when we perceive salience of intervention? Education + Engagement before and during smoke events are key to better health outcomes. Can communication strategies that educate and engage improve health outcomes. How effective would we be? What are the barriers?
