Specific Types of Public Health Writing
Are you feeling unsure about how to get started on a public health writing project? Are you unclear on the difference between a policy brief and a literature review?
Writing for specific audiences to achieve public health objectives is not limited by a single genre or purpose. The most common types of documents we need to write run a broad gamut that includes: emails, policy briefs, white papers, grant proposals, research protocols, scientific reports, articles for peer-reviewed journals, abstracts, scopes of work, standard operating procedures, budget justifications, public service announcements, op-eds, letters to the editor, blog posts, tweets, and the list goes on.
We have gathered resources for writing many different types of public health documents. Just click on the post-it notes for detailed suggestions.
