Climate Change and Local Public Health in the United States: Preparedness, Programs and Perceptions of Local Public Health Department Directors

The document assesses how communication and marketing interventions can be used within a public health ecologic model to drive population behavior change and policy support for climate change adaptation and prevention. It identifies the need for translational research to optimize the effectiveness of these messages and target audiences.

• Communication and marketing interventions possess significant potential to drive population behavior changes necessary for climate change objectives, although further translational research is required to fully realize this potential.
• The research utilizes an ecologic model of public health to analyze three specific areas: the capacity of marketing and communication to influence behaviors and policy support, the identification of target audiences, and the characteristics of effective messaging.
