Registration information sent out via E-Blast

Complementing the last webinar, “Misinformation and Public Health: Implications for Personal Responsibility Education Program Grantees”, this webinar focuses on addressing misinformation around adolescent pregnancy prevention (APP) programming. In addition to discussing the impact of misinformation on APP programs, the webinar will cover the types of messages that can tackle misinformation. It also will cover how to identify and work with stakeholders to create and disseminate messaging. To provide a look at these ideas in practice, the Georgia Division of Family & Children Services will share how their partners have helped them disseminate accurate information about their programs. Attendees will learn action-based steps and be prepared to develop a plan to address misinformation in their respective communities’ settings.

  By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:

• Describe the current misinformation landscape around adolescent pregnancy prevention (APP) efforts;
• Describe the type of messages that can either prevent or address misinformation;
• Identify key stakeholders whose support is essential for local APP programs; and 
• Discuss strategies for developing and disseminating messaging about APP programs that is specific to their stakeholder groups

Participants will have the opportunity to engage with facilitators in an open discussion and question-and-answer session after the presentation.
