Communication and Information Dissemination

Outputs: Social Media

Reaching & Impacting New Audiences Through the Latest Social Media Channels

In 2008 NIOSH enhanced its leadership role within the public health community by implementing Web 2.0 applications. These applications provide opportunities for NIOSH researchers to truly engage with audiences in ways unimaginable just a few years ago. The Web 2.0 revolution is as much about changing communication culture as it is about using social networking sites, such as MySpace, Facebook, Wikipedia, Flickr, Twitter, and blogs, to reach diverse audiences with safety and health information.

NIOSH Science Blog
The first truly external blog at CDC—provides NIOSH with an opportunity to engage in scientific discussions with its partners and the public. The blog includes 44 unique topics and has generated more than 400 comments. Since its inception, the blog has been visited more than 100,000 times. In 2008 it averaged 156 visits per day and has risen to 245 visits per day from 01/01/09–05/27/09
