The seagull said it’s OK to go out now: Evaluating a community driven public health intervention during the covid pandemic

S

The COVID pandemic presented a range of challenges to public health providers. It also led to the development of some new ways of ‘doing’ public health.

Myself and colleagues at LSBU were lucky enough to have the opportunity to evaluate a community led intervention based on social media delivered by local government. The intervention aimed to reduce misinformation, provide guidance and encourage practical help giving during pandemic.

How effective was this new way of delivering support? You can find out more in our blog about our evaluation… (hosted at LSBU) about our evaluation… the link is here.
