New Research to Better Communicate Antimicrobial Resistance, Toolkit Now Available Online

CDC just launched a new toolkit of materials about antimicrobial resistance, which were developed based on formative research and tested with members of the general public in the United States. The resources are designed to educate the public on the threat of antimicrobial resistance and the everyday actions we all can take to prevent its spread.  The toolkit includes free resources to support communication and education efforts, including videos of patients, social media assets, newsletter content, talking points, and graphics formatted for use across digital channels.  Please feel free to disseminate these resources as appropriate with your networks to help protect people from this urgent public health threat.

Every year, more than 35,000 Americans die from a drug-resistant infection.

	@CDCgov just launched research-informed resources including real patient stories to help educate the public about #AntimicrobialResistance—and how we can all help prevent infections. Explore the toolkit:  https://www.cdc.gov/antimicrobial-resistance/partner-communication-resources/index.html
