May 8 at 7:30-8:30 a.m. EST – How to: Use Global Burden of Disease Study Data to Empower Your Advocacy
Health data is essential for health advocacy. Communicating with policy makers starts with describing the “burden of disease” in their area, such as death and disability. The Global Burden of Disease Study database contains extensive country-specific congenital heart disease and rheumatic heart disease health data. This webinar will demonstrate how to access and use this data to strengthen your awareness and advocacy efforts.
