From Monitoring to Action: Putting Infodemiology to Work in Health Departments
Tuesday, December 08, 2026
3:00 PM - 4:00 PM
Eastern Standard Time
How do state and territorial health departments know what health information is circulating in their communities and what to do about it? Join ASTHO and The Public Good Projects for a panel discussion with state health department leaders about the opportunities and challenges of bringing infodemiology into their work.
Drawing on their experiences in a year-long ASTHO Community of Practice, panelists will share examples of what infodemiology looks like inside a health department, how they approached this important work, and what other organizations should consider as they get started. Attendees will also learn about upcoming opportunities for training and support to help advance these efforts in their own jurisdictions. A special thanks to the deBeaumont Foundation for funding this cohort and webinar. Register today!
