A7: Sharing our lessons learned. With current uncertainties, it is more important than ever to create & openly share enduring resources that preserve valuable institutional knowledge on what has been effective & how achievements have been accomplished #NPHWChat

A6: Communicating benefits can be powerful when risk communication is challenging or not well received. Data linking action to outcomes & stories from local constituents highlighting the benefits of public health investments show impact where policymakers care most – their communities #NPHWChat

A5: Recognizing that public health professionals might not be the only messengers. There are many community touch points that share information & resources. Partnerships w/ these are vital to keep PH professionals & programs integrated in our communities when resources are constrained #NPHWChat

A2: We build partnerships based on mutual benefit & opportunity assessments. Commitment & goodwill are built out of mutually beneficial projects where each entity leaves the relationship in a better position & with their own goals & priorities addressed #NPHWChat

A2: Our program has built strong partnerships between academic & public agencies by pairing students with field partners. Our students gain tangible real-world experience, and our partners expand their capacity to complete projects important to their priorities #NPHWChat

A1: Drafting a cross-cutting national strategy on vector-borne disease prevention. This national strategy is a great example of an opportunity assessment that integrates all players – academia, public agencies, & private partners – to bolster our PH infrastructure & address growing threats #NPHWChat
