Community-Driven Campaign to Increase Long COVID Awareness
This is an ongoing project. |
|
Faculty Researcher: Elizabeth Towner
Description
The Long COVID Warriors action council includes patients with Long COVID and providers and staff from primary care clinics who are working together to navigate the Long COVID journey to better health, fostering an environment where experiences are shared, trustworthy knowledge is exchanged, and every voice is heard. The Long COVID Warriors worked with experts and graphic designers to develop a campaign that aims to increase awareness about Long COVID and available resources and treatments. We are getting ready to launch and evaluate this campaign in partnership with Wayne Health, the Wayne Health Mobile Unit, and the Office of Community Engaged Research at Wayne State University.
