There has been a health outbreak! Choose an at-risk population,
an epidemic, and respond to the following objectives from the
CDC Epidemic Intelligence Service. You are to write a 2- 3
page paper, in APA format, include at least 5 references, and
address the objectives below. You will include the primary
NCHEC Area of Responsibility and Competency you are
addressing in this assignment as a title on the first page of your
document. What is the epidemic, who does it adversely affect,
what is the first response to this epidemic, etc.
After you complete the paper, create a 1-page outbreak
communication flyer, radio announcement, commercial
transcript, etc. to release to the public (this is the presentation
portion and is a separate submission) (follow the CDC and
WHO outline for help, located in the Module 5 Resources).
Possible Epidemics in the US:
Salmonella
Lung injury associated with e-cigarette use or vaping
Listeria
Brucella
Measles
Hepatitis A
Hurricane
Possible Epidemics Outside the US:
Dengue
Polio
Chikungunya
Typhoid fever (drug-resistant)
Hurricane
Situational Awareness
At the start of an investigation, you will need to assess the
situation (
11 (Links to an external site.)
). The following steps will help you perform this task quickly:
Identify affected or potentially affected populations (i.e., target
audiences)
. Ask yourself, “Who is most at risk by the outbreak or public
health threat?” “What populations are most vulnerable or at the
highest risk and need to be reached first?”
Identify behavioral factors that might place persons at risk.
Ask yourself, “Are behavioral factors placing persons at risk?”
If so, “What are they?” Can you recommend actions that
persons and healthcare providers can take to confront these
behavioral factors and thus reduce their risk (e.g., get
vaccinated or wash their hands frequently)? If the risk is
unknown, can you provide information to the public and media
about what is being done in the investigation to identify what
places persons at risk?
Identify partners who might be able to reach affected persons or
populations.
In an ideal situation, strong relationships will exist. However,
if such relationships do not yet exist, quickly identify what
relationships are crucial for containing and stopping the
outbreak. Ask yourself, “Are healthcare providers available who
might reach the affected persons or populations quickly?” “Who
are the community leaders who can help reach the affected
persons or populations?” “Will the public look to specific
partners or persons for advice or direction (e.g., religious
leaders or local thought leaders)?” Decide who should talk with
those influential persons and what the timing should be for
doing so.
Identify perceptions in the community that might affect
communications
. Listen to community members. Work to get a better
understanding of how local authorities, affected persons, and
community leaders perceive the situation (
7 (Links to an external site.)
). Listen to concerns, critiques, and fears. When possible, have
a discussion before issuing directives. Gain an understanding of
what community members might know and believe about the
illness and potential cause. Also work to understand the
language, culture, and socioeconomic factors in the community
that should be considered. Use this information to refine your
communication efforts.
Tailor health-related recommendations or guidance
and ensure that it is written in plain language to be more easily
adopted or adhered to by the affected population and public
health or healthcare entities.
Build strong relationships with key persons in the community
who can help you contain or stop the outbreak and can provide
ongoing insights.
Ensure that messages to the media and public resonate
. The communications team will want to identify reliable
information sources that can provide an ongoing assessment of
current perceptions in the community (e.g., social media
monitoring) (
12 (Links to an external site.)
). When you have this feedback loop in place, work to integrate
the findings into ongoing decision making.
Communication Resources and Tools Often Used for Outbreak
Responses
Internet site
. The response effort might need an Internet site to convey
relevant and rapidly changing information about the outbreak.
The site should be the main repository of scientific facts, data,
and resources. All other communications should be based on the
content of that site. Key information for the site might include
the following:
Data or case counts;
Maps of the affected area;
Guidance for affected populations, the public, travelers to or
from the region, and healthcare providers who are caring for the
affected persons;
A section highlighting the newest information; and
A multimedia section for the media and the general public.
Call center
. The response effort might benefit from having a call center
equipped to answer inquiries from the affected population, the
worried well, and healthcare providers seeking information.
Guidance is available for entities that are establishing a call
center during an outbreak response.
Social media messages.
Create social media messages from Internet site content.
Communications staff should monitor social media regularly to
identify and dispel myths and misperceptions.
Clinician outreach resources
. The response might require substantial communications with
healthcare providers. Webinars, conference calls with partner
organizations, videos for online clinical communities, or other
forums might be considered to allow healthcare providers to
access up-to-date information, ask questions, and obtain advice
from other clinicians associated with the response.
Digital press kit for the news media.
A digital press kit with photos, videos, quotations from
spokespersons, the latest data or information (e.g., graphics,
charts, or maps), and information about how to obtain an
interview is always helpful for reporters during an outbreak
investigation.
Tailor communication resources
. The response might require translation for specific audiences,
and communication materials might need to be tailored for
reaching affected populations. Some responses use photo
novellas, simple line art, text messaging, or community events
to convey important information for specific audiences.
What to Include When Developing Outbreak-Related Messages
Expression of empathy.
What’s known and a call for action, including Who? What?
When? Where? Why? How?
What’s known and what’s not known, and how answers will be
obtained for what’s not yet known
Explanations of what public health actions are being taken and
why.
A statement of commitment.
When additional information will be provided.
Where to find more information in the meantime.

There has been a health outbreak! Choose an at-risk population, .docx

  • 1. There has been a health outbreak! Choose an at-risk population, an epidemic, and respond to the following objectives from the CDC Epidemic Intelligence Service. You are to write a 2- 3 page paper, in APA format, include at least 5 references, and address the objectives below. You will include the primary NCHEC Area of Responsibility and Competency you are addressing in this assignment as a title on the first page of your document. What is the epidemic, who does it adversely affect, what is the first response to this epidemic, etc. After you complete the paper, create a 1-page outbreak communication flyer, radio announcement, commercial transcript, etc. to release to the public (this is the presentation portion and is a separate submission) (follow the CDC and WHO outline for help, located in the Module 5 Resources). Possible Epidemics in the US: Salmonella Lung injury associated with e-cigarette use or vaping Listeria Brucella Measles Hepatitis A Hurricane
  • 2. Possible Epidemics Outside the US: Dengue Polio Chikungunya Typhoid fever (drug-resistant) Hurricane Situational Awareness At the start of an investigation, you will need to assess the situation ( 11 (Links to an external site.) ). The following steps will help you perform this task quickly: Identify affected or potentially affected populations (i.e., target audiences) . Ask yourself, “Who is most at risk by the outbreak or public health threat?” “What populations are most vulnerable or at the highest risk and need to be reached first?” Identify behavioral factors that might place persons at risk. Ask yourself, “Are behavioral factors placing persons at risk?” If so, “What are they?” Can you recommend actions that persons and healthcare providers can take to confront these behavioral factors and thus reduce their risk (e.g., get vaccinated or wash their hands frequently)? If the risk is unknown, can you provide information to the public and media
  • 3. about what is being done in the investigation to identify what places persons at risk? Identify partners who might be able to reach affected persons or populations. In an ideal situation, strong relationships will exist. However, if such relationships do not yet exist, quickly identify what relationships are crucial for containing and stopping the outbreak. Ask yourself, “Are healthcare providers available who might reach the affected persons or populations quickly?” “Who are the community leaders who can help reach the affected persons or populations?” “Will the public look to specific partners or persons for advice or direction (e.g., religious leaders or local thought leaders)?” Decide who should talk with those influential persons and what the timing should be for doing so. Identify perceptions in the community that might affect communications . Listen to community members. Work to get a better understanding of how local authorities, affected persons, and community leaders perceive the situation ( 7 (Links to an external site.) ). Listen to concerns, critiques, and fears. When possible, have a discussion before issuing directives. Gain an understanding of what community members might know and believe about the illness and potential cause. Also work to understand the language, culture, and socioeconomic factors in the community that should be considered. Use this information to refine your communication efforts. Tailor health-related recommendations or guidance and ensure that it is written in plain language to be more easily adopted or adhered to by the affected population and public health or healthcare entities.
  • 4. Build strong relationships with key persons in the community who can help you contain or stop the outbreak and can provide ongoing insights. Ensure that messages to the media and public resonate . The communications team will want to identify reliable information sources that can provide an ongoing assessment of current perceptions in the community (e.g., social media monitoring) ( 12 (Links to an external site.) ). When you have this feedback loop in place, work to integrate the findings into ongoing decision making. Communication Resources and Tools Often Used for Outbreak Responses Internet site . The response effort might need an Internet site to convey relevant and rapidly changing information about the outbreak. The site should be the main repository of scientific facts, data, and resources. All other communications should be based on the content of that site. Key information for the site might include the following: Data or case counts; Maps of the affected area; Guidance for affected populations, the public, travelers to or from the region, and healthcare providers who are caring for the
  • 5. affected persons; A section highlighting the newest information; and A multimedia section for the media and the general public. Call center . The response effort might benefit from having a call center equipped to answer inquiries from the affected population, the worried well, and healthcare providers seeking information. Guidance is available for entities that are establishing a call center during an outbreak response. Social media messages. Create social media messages from Internet site content. Communications staff should monitor social media regularly to identify and dispel myths and misperceptions. Clinician outreach resources . The response might require substantial communications with healthcare providers. Webinars, conference calls with partner organizations, videos for online clinical communities, or other forums might be considered to allow healthcare providers to access up-to-date information, ask questions, and obtain advice from other clinicians associated with the response. Digital press kit for the news media. A digital press kit with photos, videos, quotations from spokespersons, the latest data or information (e.g., graphics, charts, or maps), and information about how to obtain an interview is always helpful for reporters during an outbreak investigation. Tailor communication resources
  • 6. . The response might require translation for specific audiences, and communication materials might need to be tailored for reaching affected populations. Some responses use photo novellas, simple line art, text messaging, or community events to convey important information for specific audiences. What to Include When Developing Outbreak-Related Messages Expression of empathy. What’s known and a call for action, including Who? What? When? Where? Why? How? What’s known and what’s not known, and how answers will be obtained for what’s not yet known Explanations of what public health actions are being taken and why. A statement of commitment. When additional information will be provided. Where to find more information in the meantime.
