The CDC Arthritis Grantee Toolkit – Using Communication Strategies for Increasing Provider Physical Activity Counseling and Referrals was designed to assist CDC Arthritis Program grantees in their Strategy 2 efforts by guiding through the process of creating a communication plan. The Toolkit includes guidance on defining an audience, identifying partners, developing a dissemination plan, and communicating with healthcare providers. Additionally, the toolkit includes communication assets and resources that grantees can use to reach and encourage healthcare providers to increase counseling and referrals. Communication assets and resources can be found in the NACDD Dropbox and on SharePoint. All content is based in scientific evidence and formative research.
