PHCC Guide Helps Public Health Communicators Create Accessible Social Media

Accessibility is essential to effective public health communication, particularly as up to 27% of U.S. adults have a disability that may affect how they access health information. The figure underscores the importance of ensuring public health messages can be understood and used by people with disabilities.

The Public Health Communications Collaborative (PHCC), in partnership with the Disability Policy Consortium, developed a guide to help communicators create accessible social media content.

The resource covers accessible writing, visuals, audio, and video, offering practical guidance for making digital communications more inclusive and connecting health information with broader audiences. Find PHCC’s “The Public Health Communicators Guide to Creating Accessible Social Media” here.
