Question: Hi, I am working with a community based participatory research project. Our goal is to prevent cvd and reduce risk factors in our community. We would like to get the word out about what our project has done for the community and the services that it offers. We are leaning towards poster presentations, newsletters and twitter and facebook. Do you have any addition suggestions on what we could do?
Answer: Hello, Poster presentations and symposium presentations at professional as well at local conferences would be a great way to inform others of your work. www.scra27.org/ provides links to other organizations/potential conferences in various locations where you could present your work. In terms of the web, facebook will allow you to reach a larger audience, but you might also want to develop a website to promote your work. I would also recommend contacting the local papers/TV channels, as well as the local community government to inform them of what you all have accomplished. Best of luck!
