This concise volume guides public health advocates on how to
successfully advocate for their cause, strengthen their messaging
and communication strategies, build coalitions, and gather
political allies. In the book, the author shares lessons learned
from an exploratory study in which key legislators from the
Massachusetts General Court (legislature) were interviewed to
determine their level of awareness and knowledge regarding health
disparities. Racial and ethnic disparities in health are a major
concern for citizens, states, and the nation and are important to
study and understand to strategically address and eliminate such
inequities. Through these lessons, public health advocates gain an
understanding of whether and how factors affect knowledge and
awareness of health disparities and learn to communicate more
effectively with legislators, key stakeholders, and other
decision-makers. The brief also features "Notes from the Field"
from those working in the "trenches" that highlight different
perspectives on health disparities and provide first-hand advice
for advocates hoping to close the disparities gaps and create a
more equitable nation for all. Successful Public Health Advocacy is
a relevant resource for advocates, as well as students, in public
health, public policy, and related fields who wish to gain a better
understanding on how legislators gather their health information
for policy-making or constituent work and apply this data to
develop and implement effective public health advocacy campaigns.
