DD5HW5 Chapters 4 & 12

CHAPTER 4

The role of ethical communication varies across different fields. You can find The American Public Health Association Code of Ethics here. This website also links this A Code of Ethics for Public Health from the National Institute of Health.

Three Principles of the Ethical Practice of Public Health that are included in the Code of Ethics that address communication-related issues are as follows:

1. "Public health institutions should provide communities with the information they have that is needed for decisions on policies or programs and should obtain the community's consent for their implementation." Public health programs often conduct key stakeholder interviews and focus groups to find out the needs of a community before implementing a program. It would be unethical to go into a community and implement a program without consent of the community. 

2. "Public health programs and policies should incorporate a variety of approaches that anticipate and respect diverse values, beliefs, and cultures in the community." Respecting diverse values, beliefs, and cultures is all part of being ethical. Exploiting cultural differences, as noted in TC is unethical.

3.  "Public health institutions and their employees should engage in collaborations and affiliations in ways that build the public's trust and the institution's effectiveness."  Collaborations and communication between employees should remain ethical, as well as between the public health institutions and the public, in order for public health policies to benefit the community.
