So, one of the reasons things have been so quiet around here is that I’ve been trying to finish my MPH. I’m pleased to say that this week, I delivered my capstone presentation, thus fulfilling my final requirement.

My talk was on a topic near and dear to my heart: What public health can do to better meet the rising tide of antivaccination opinion. I recorded my talk and most of the Q&A, and thought I would post it here for anyone interested.

The short version? I argue that instead of viewing the antivaccination community as monolithic, public health and healthcare institutions should instead take a spectrum approach, segmenting this community into appropriate categories that better lend themselves to engagement and intervention.

I’ll also post my references and further reading list for anyone interested. Enjoy!
