Description
The Johns Hopkins Center for Communication Programs has worked for more than 30 years on health communication in at least 60 countries for issues like breastfeeding, HIV, and family planning. This experience meant they were well positioned to work with partners around the globe on messaging for COVID-19 prevention. Deputy director and COVID team leader Alice Payne Merritt talks with Dr. Josh Sharfstein about crafting COVID messages for different countries and breaks down the details with some clips of radio and TV spots from Nigeria, Ethiopia, the Phillippines, and Guatemala.
