As a public health professional, you know what it’s like to face tough questions about the work you do. Perhaps you’ve been asked to defend a policy position. Or to justify funding for a public health program. Or to explain why a certain public health intervention is critical.
It’s important to be prepared with communication strategies and messages to effectively tackle a tough question that could come up as you’re engaging with leaders in other sectors. Our “Answers to Tough Questions” tool (coming in 2019) will provide you with answers to commonly-asked public health questions to help keep your cross-sector conversations on track. But first, we need your input as to what the tough questions are!
What’s the one question about public health you are always asked? Or the question about your work or the field that you have a difficult time answering effectively? Share it here ➡
Your question will become part of our effort to identify the common tough questions public health professionals face, so we can deliver strategies and messages to help prepare you for your conversations with other sectors.
Your public health colleagues are sharing the tough questions they’ve been asked too. Do some of these sound familiar? VOTE for the questions you’d like to see featured in our “Answers to Tough Questions” tool, which will be available in the PHRASES Toolkit.
