MEE conducts communications workshops across the country, focusing on the most effective ways to reach urban audiences on issues of obesity prevention, youth sexuality, dating violence, and substance abuse. These workshops focus on understanding urban culture, understanding the media's direct and indirect influences on youth, and on developing communication strategies for reaching youth and other audiences. These workshops serve as a primary way of conveying our research findings to youth-service providers and community-based organizations. They also allow us to continue our work of community capacity-building on a national scale, as we send attendees back to their home communities with new knowledge and a fresh perspective on urban populations.
