Well-written, accurate, and accessible reports are critical tools for communicating public health data and for advancing policies that are responsive to the issues data reveal. All public health agencies should produce data reports and tailor them to a variety of audiences. Likewise, making sure that public health reports are seen by the intended audiences is a critical step in the report production process. The Communicating with Data course comprises of two modules that can be completed separately: Writing Public Health Reports and Disseminating Public Health Reports. The course is designed for surveillance and epidemiology staff who wish to communicate data to external audiences, and also to communications staff who wish to incorporate data into ministry or health department communications products or websites. This course is available in English, French and Spanish.
