Communication and Dissemination

The Communication and Dissemination Phase is the sixth and final phase of the Inclusive Healthy Communities Change Model where you will broadly communicate and disseminate the successes and lessons learned from your inclusive Healthy Community efforts.

These activities may range from working with traditional (print, television, and radio media; earned and paid) and non-traditional (using social marketing, social media, videography, and podcasts) methods of communication. Other acceptable communication activities include peer review journal articles, professional presentations, writing success stories, testimonials, issue briefs, or white papers, and conducting community presentations.

To view all the important steps of the Communication and Dissemination Phase, please see our one-pager:
