Media Coverage of Health Topics
You don't need to be a medical or mental health expert to make an impact in your article.
Reporting on health and wellness in a thoughtful, evidence-based, and approachable way helps normalize conversations, reduce stigma, and empower individuals to engage in health-supportive behaviors. We encourage media to use a harm-reduction and health-promotion approach, focusing on practical steps people can take and solutions over problems. Please use accurate, up-to-date, and comprehensive information from reliable health sources (such as CDC, WHO, and local public health departments) and avoid stereotypes or sensational framing. When possible, include information about available campus and community resources to help connect students and audiences to support.
