The 2018 American Public Health Association Annual Meeting is in a few days, and we cannot wait! It’s not just the location (the beautiful San Diego) that’s got us stoked, but it’s also the sessions.
Here are some of the health communication, social and digital media, health informatics information technology, and social marketing sessions that we’re planning to attend. HOW TO USE THE SESSION LIST -- Look up the numbers for the sessions you'd like to attend on the APHA Annual Meeting online program or mobile app and add them to your agenda: https://www.apha.org/events-and-meetings/annual/schedule.

We’re recapping two 2018 health conferences: the State of Black Health (SBH), hosted by NAATPN and partners, and the National Conference on Health Communication, Marketing and Media (NCHCMM), hosted by CDC and partners.

FOX's 9-1-1 is a procedural drama series that follows the lives of police officers, firefighters, paramedics, dispatchers and other first responders in Los Angeles.

Trigger Warning: Sexual Assault
For Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month, we’re adding Speak to the Let’s Talk Public Health Movie List. Speak tells the story of teenager Melinda Sordino. Before the start of her freshman year of high school, Melinda attends an end-of-summer house party with her friends. While at the party, she meets a senior. They spend time together, talking and dancing. The night almost seems magical, until it turns into a nightmare for Melinda. She calls the police to the house that night, busting the party. But she leaves without reporting what happened to her. As students flee the party, Melinda’s friends find each other and drive off without her, leaving Melinda to walk home alone, disheveled with her shoes in her hands.
