Behavioral Communication Strategies for COVID-19 (BCSE: COVID-19) Course

In countries such as Yemen and Syria, that are experiencing economic collapse, conflict, widespread malnutrition and concurrent outbreaks, how do we prioritize and manage COVID-19? These questions were at the center of the most recent Behavioral Communication Strategies for COVID-19 (BCSE: COVID-19) courses. The Global & Environmental Public Health program led two parallel courses. One section was led by Dr. Chris Dickey, and focused on the Middle East and Northern Africa (MENA) region in partnership with the WHO Eastern Mediterranean Region and UNICEF Lebanon country office.

Taken together, these courses welcomed close to 190 participants in total, including NYU MPH students and professionals working in UN agencies, Ministries of Health, county health systems and hospitals throughout the African continent and the Middle East.
