Promoting Critical Behaviors that Save Lives

The CDC Foundation has been engaged in a wide variety of campaigns and efforts to gain insights into beliefs and practices, educate Americans about COVID-19 and promote behavior change communications. These efforts cover a number of critical issues from protective measures to mental health resources to health equity to materials for specific industries. For example, the How Right Now initiative recognizes the toll COVID-19 has taken on people’s mental health and well-being and provides information and tools to help. And the You Will See Me campaign was developed to inspire and empower Black Americans to wear face masks, since research shows that COVID-19 affects Black Americans at higher rates than most other groups because of systemic healthcare, economic and social inequalities.
