CDC / NPHIC Member Call Recap and Slides – January 2025

The 2025 CDC/NPHIC Monthly Communications Calls, which began on January 15, offer valuable updates from CDC staff and a platform for sharing effective strategies. The January call featured Dr. Elizabeth Green from the Big Cities Health Coalition, who shared insights on public perceptions of public health issues like drug use, homelessness, and structural racism.

Key findings from surveys revealed that city residents view systemic issues, such as unaffordable housing and mental health crises, as the root causes of these problems. Public health solutions, including harm reduction and affordable housing, were seen as effective long-term approaches to create safer, healthier communities.
