2019 National Conference on Health Communication, Marketing & Media
Date
August 13, 2019 12:00am - August 15, 2019 11:59pm
Join RTI experts at the 2019 National Conference on Health Communication, Marketing & Media (NCHCMM), being held August 13-15 in Atlanta, Georgia.
NCHCMM brings together academics, public health researchers and practitioners from federal and state governments and the private sector to shape the future of health communication, marketing and media practice. The conference provides a forum for discussion across these disciplines to advance science, explore innovative communication tools and technologies, improve practice and bridge divides.
Assessing and improving communications around opioid stigma is critical to help combat the opioid crisis. RTI is leading the field in its study of stigma and the impact it has within the crisis, leveraging its extensive research and expertise from previous work researching stigma around HIV and marijuana. RTI recently conducted a survey of U.S. adults on their knowledge and opinions about addiction to prescription opioids, medication-assisted therapy (MAT), and stigma toward people addicted to prescription opioids and the health care providers who care for them. The important findings and implications from this survey will be explored during Lefebvre’s presentation, which was selected by peer review out of a large number of submissions. These findings were also featured during one of the largest vision sessions during this year’s Rx Drug Abuse & Heroin Summit.
RTI experts will have their work presented or lead poster sessions during the three-day conference, including:
