Salud Talks Podcast Episode 31: “Communicating COVID-19”

Share On Social!

How we process information can impact significant aspects of our lives: The choices we make, issues we or do not support, or even if we care to tackle a problem.

When it comes to health, how information is spread can save lives — or it can lead to further sickness and harm.

As the COVID-19 pandemic sweeps throughout the U.S., medical experts say that mixed messaging coming from civic leaders in Washington has led to worse outcomes for everyday individuals and a successful stop to the spread.

Today, Dr. Jason Rosenfeld, the Assistant Director of Global Health at UT Health San Antonio, joins Salud Talks to discuss his career in health communications, and how that experience is informing his work to disseminate knowledge about the outbreak.
