The CDC Clear Communication Index (Index) is a research-based tool to help you develop and assess public communication materials. The Index has 4 introductory questions and 20 scored items drawn from scientific literature in communication and related disciplines.
The basic elements of communication include the sender, receiver, and message, as well as the medium and potential feedback.
Linear transmission models understand communication as a one-way process in which a sender transmits an idea to a receiver. Interaction models include a feedback loop through which the receiver responds after getting the message. Transaction models see sending and responding as simultaneous activities.
In practice: Take small steps with your audience. Use enabling language that promotes choices. Set the context. Explain how health disparities and inequities happen before mentioning which people and communities are most affected. Help the audience draw new conclusions.
The Index is designed to help you communicate clearly with your intended audience(s). You can use the Index in several ways: To inform the design and development of a new communication product. To assess the clarity of a communication product prior to public release.
