Title: Mosquito Messaging: Research Insights and Outreach Tools for Communicating Mosquito-borne Disease Prevention
Description: How can health communication motivate people to protect themselves from mosquito-borne diseases?

Participants will learn practical lessons about creating effective health messages, as well as an overview of the Prevent & Protect project’s ready-to-use outreach materials, including social media content, videos, infographics, lesson plans, Extension publications, and communication toolkits for mosquito control and mosquito-borne disease education.
