ASPPH Webinar with Boris

As we approach the Fall Presidential election, join us as we explore the critical connection between voting and public health. This webinar, part of a series, will highlight ASPPH’s Voting is Public Health campaign and discuss the significant impact of civic engagement on health outcomes. We are pleased to announce that UMD School of Public Health Dean Boris Lushniak will be moderating this distinguished panel.

Our panelists will share their experiences and strategies for promoting voter participation within the academic public health community and combatting mis and disinformation. 

The discussion will focus on the link between voting and health outcomes, highlighting how voting influences public health policies. It will also explore efforts by ASPPH members to promote civic engagement and its positive impact on community health. Additionally, an overview from Healthy Democracy, Healthy People will provide insights into enhancing civic health. The role of public health professionals in combating misinformation and disinformation during election cycles will also be examined.
