Breaking Barriers: Empowering Black Young Adults to Embrace COVID-19 Vaccination
Even before the approval of COVID-19 vaccines, misinformation and false narratives about them flooded social media, leading to widespread hesitancy. Black young adults, especially those in the southern United States, were particularly hesitant, with early estimates showing only 42% were likely to accept the vaccine. This skepticism and rampant misinformation, coupled with systemic health care barriers that harm Black populations, made it imperative to find effective ways to reach and engage Black young adults living in southern states expeditiously.
We knew time was of the essence, so we developed a proposal to adapt the “Tough Talks” digital health intervention that engaged young adults to promote HIV-related health into Tough Talks for COVID-19 or TT-C.
CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: Artificial Intelligence in Infectious Disease Workshop
The Artificial Intelligence in Infectious Disease Workshop 2024 will be held on 5-6 December 2024 in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
This international workshop is a novel initiative designed to foster collaboration between healthcare professionals and the artificial intelligence (AI) technology sector. It aims to bridge the gap between cutting-edge AI advancements and practical clinical applications, encouraging clinicians to step into the digital age and embrace AI to propel medicine into the future. By facilitating the exchange of knowledge through abstract and application "pitch" submissions, the workshop provides a unique platform for providers to quickly understand and adapt to the latest developments.
