This course explores how artificial intelligence (AI) can transform health communication, fostering stronger multisectoral collaboration to address complex public health challenges, including systemic issues like the social determinants of health (SDOH). 

Multisectoral approaches bring together public health professionals and stakeholders from diverse sectors—such as healthcare, education, housing, transportation, and community organizations—to collaboratively design sustainable and impactful solutions.

As an health communication strategy, graphical and culturally sensitive health communication plays a pivotal role in enhancing collaboration by making interactions more inclusive, accessible, and effective. By incorporating cultural relevance and visual elements, these communications improve understanding and engagement among diverse stakeholders.

This public health-focused course highlights the use of AI tools to create personalized, visually compelling, and culturally respectful messages. These tools empower stakeholders by tailoring communication to their unique needs and contexts, ultimately strengthening collaboration and driving meaningful change.
