This workshop focuses on building intercultural communication skills and communication strategies to improve healthcare services in communities of color, emphasizing African Americans. As urban centers become increasingly cosmopolitan, health practitioners will interact with people from different cultures whose experiences have been shaped by values and beliefs. The workshop will discuss the importance of intercultural communications and provide practical strategies for efficient and culturally appropriate communication across various cultures, ethnicities, geographic locations, and societies. Furthermore, participants will also understand how misinformation affects health outcomes and how to use the media to combat misinformation and effectively educate the public about health challenges.
