- Date posted
- 3 years ago
- Description
- Antimicrobial resistance is an urgent global public health threat. Prevention tools, such as vaccines, are an effective tool to slow the emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance and to save lives in the United States and around the world. Vaccines can help prevent infections from happening in the first place, thereby reducing use or misuse of antibiotics. Vaccines can also reduce infection duration or severity and reduce transmission of antimicrobial-resistant pathogens. That’s why CDC and partners are committed to driving innovation to develop and deploy vaccines to help slow the emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance. What you will learn:
• How vaccines can help slow the emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance and can protect human health.
• How CDC is working to understand the potential impact of new vaccines through population-based surveillance and electronic health record data analyses characterizing the burden of key healthcare-a...

- Social Network Strategy (SNS) is an evidence-supported approach to identify, engage and motivate people with undiagnosed HIV infection to accept HIV testing. SNS is based on the underlying principles that people in the same social network share the same behaviors that increase the chances of getting or transmitting HIV, and, in addition, that people in the same social network know and trust each other.
This video demonstrates the orientation and Coaching Session between an SNS Manger and Recruiter, following the Coaching Session guide that can be found in the Participant Manual. The goal of the video is to show providers how to conduct an orientation and how to implement an SNS Coaching Session with fidelity. The video demonstrates how SNS Managers can orientate Recruiters and how to come up with a plan on how to approach their Network Associates to bring them in for HIV testing.
