Social Media Campaign
Part of cultural competency is advocating for sensitive patient populations with regard to health issues or needed improvements in the community. A big part of advocacy is creating effective stories from your community and understanding how to broadcast your message. In our society today, social media is a powerful leveraging tool to get a story out, build support, and demonstrate advocacy.
In this task, you will research a community health concern and provide data to support your findings. In addition, you will create a social media campaign to convey a health message to the target population.
Note: Your time log will be submitted via Qualtrics. After you fill it out with your appropriate activities, you will email it to your WGU email and send it to the appropriate agency for verification. Access your time log in the web links section.
