• Discuss which strategies you would use to engage your local policymaker in a discussion about these national initiatives to advocate for change. Remember the excellent resources to determine national healthcare goals are at the NIH or Healthy People 2020 websites.
• COMPOSE A TWEET that describes how the Global Burden of Disease is impacting your community. Remember to be concise as Twitter ONLY ALLOWS 140 CHARACTERS. Share your Tweet in the discussions.
