Health education advocacy is an essential competency for health education specialists. Yet, many don’t know where to begin when it comes to identifying credible and supportive resources that make for a well-supported and compelling advocacy message. This webinar will enable participants to locate authoritative on-line national and state-specific data and statistics about gun violence in order to make informed statements to legislative assistants.

Topics will include:

• How and where to locate relevant information quickly
• Gun violence resources (Guides, grey literature, data and statistics, peer-reviewed journal articles)
• Judging the quality of information

Following the webinar, participants should be able to efficiently and effectively locate gun violence information on which to build effective arguments.

All SOPHE members and non-members are welcome to join us for this webinar to learn about health advocacy competencies – registrants of the 2018 Summit are strongly encouraged to attend.
