This Social Media Toolkit provides guidance for Local Boards of Health (LBOHs) in Massachusetts on communicating effectively about COVID-19 using social media to provide much needed local information, updates, and support to their communities. It includes guidance on how to select social media platforms, create messages, develop outreach strategies, and access volunteers from the Academic Public Health Volunteer Corps to assist with implementation. The toolkit was created by faculty, students, and alumni at Tufts University School of Medicine from the Department of Public Health and Community Medicine. It is available with supplemental material at sites.tufts.edu/socialmediatoolkit/ |
