PLoS Negl Trop Dis 16(10): e0009774. Although the practice of communication is often called upon when intervening asn involgvingcommunties affected by NTD's, the disciplinary framewokr of healt communication research has been largely absent from NTD strategies. To illustrate how practices conceptual...ized and developed within the communication field habe been applied in the context of NTD elimination, we conducted a scoping review focusing on two diseases currently targeted for elimination by the WHO: lymphatic filariasis and Chagas disease

The worksheets in each section are typically followed by a completed exam...ple. The completed examples will likely include information about an emergency that, during an actual event, might not be immediately available. This was done to illustrate the full range of information to inform a strategic communication response.

The  toolkit  contains template  materials  and  some  suggested  key  messages for  health  professionals,  idea...s  for awareness raising activities, and suggested tactics for getting the messages across to both primary care providers and patients regarding prudent use of antibiotics.

It is a handheld guide and notebook for applying the WHO COMBI methodology in 7-steps, du...ring an outbreak. It is primarily intended for risk communication, developmental communication and health promotion/education personnel working in multidisciplinary teams to investigate and respond to disease outbreaks. It contains essential tools, checklists, and information needed to design effective behavioural and communication interventions in support of outbreak prevention and control objectives - to limit loss of life and minimize disruption to families, communities and societies

To  this  aim,  ECDC  has  decided  to  produce  basic  campaign  communication  materials  that communicators in EU Member States can use in devising and implementing national campaigns. At the same time, a dedicated website will be launched in July 2008. These materials aim to provide a visual  identity  to  the  campaigns  across  the  EU  member  states  and  make  the  messages  more recognisable  and  consistent,  thus  memorable  to  the target  audience.  The  choice  of  supporting visuals responds to the need of making the messages accessible to parents and young people, who represent the main target for the 2008 campaign.

Ce document propose des listes de contrôle élaborées par l’OMS en matière de communication sur les risques et de participation communautaire (RCCE) pour la préparation et les premières ripostes face au nouveau coronavirus 2019 (2019-nCoV) r...écemment identifié à Wuhan, dans la province du Hubei, en Chine. Il a pour objectif de donner aux pays des conseils pratiques pour la mise en œuvre de stratégies efficaces en matière de RCCE qui contribueront à protéger la santé publique lors des premières phases de la riposte face à un nCoV. Ce document inclut des objectifs et des actions de RCCE recommandés pour les pays qui se préparent à faire face à des cas de nCoV et pour ceux qui ont déjà des cas confirmés d’infection par le 2019-nCoV.

Il s’agit de l’échange en temps réel d’informations, de conseils et d’avis entre les experts, les responsables communautaires, les décideurs politiques et les populations en situation de risque.... Lors d’une épidémie, d’une pandémie, d’une crise humanitaire ou d’une catastrophe naturelle, une communication sur les risques efficace permet aux populations les plus exposées de comprendre les comportements à adopter pour se protéger. Ainsi, les autorités et les experts peuvent être à l’écoute des inquiétudes et des besoins, chercher à y répondre et faire en sorte que leurs conseils soient pertinents, fiables et recevables
