Preconference: Global Health, Social, and Behavioral Change Communication Intervention Research

Session Submission Type: Panel

Abstract

The main objective of this pre-conference is to leverage the professional and research connections of the organizers to bring together scholars as well as development practitioners working on global and applied health communication to meet and explore forging possible partnerships. One of the expected outcomes of this interaction will be for researchers and practitioners to form interdisciplinary teams to work on grant-writing, data analysis, formulating research priorities or other on-the-ground applied/intervention projects, particularly in the area of social and behavioral change communication. In doing this, the preconference will meet the mandate of the conference to highlight applied and translatable research.
